Heading into his title defense against T.J. Dillashaw at UFC Brooklyn, Henry Cejudo insisted that the fight was more than a fight, it was about saving the entire flyweight division from extinction. But after somewhat controversially knocking Dillashaw out in 32 seconds, Cejudo immediately suggested that he rematch Dillashaw for the 135-pound title. For fighters like Joseph Benavidez, that’s not saving the flyweight division at all. It’s putting it right back on the chopping block.
Speaking with FloCombat recently, Benavidez plead with Cejudo to stick to his word and save the flyweight division by actually sticking around and defending his belt.
