At Saturday’s UFC Brooklyn post-fight press conference, UFC president Dana White was crowing about his promotion’s first show on ESPN+ being a smashing success.
There was one major hiccup in his eyes though.
The main event was full of drama as flyweight champion Henry Cejudo spoiled bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw’s plans to drop down to 125 pounds and become a dual-division titleholder by finishing him with strikes in just 32 seconds. Cejudo scored two clean knockdowns of Dillashaw and followed up with accurate strikes as Dillashaw scrambled to recover, prompting referee Kevin MacDonald to step in and wave off the bout.
