With the title defense, Cejudo has now earned consecutive wins over two of the best all-around fighters in the sport in Demetrious Johnson and Dillashaw.
Primed to take over those roles are a host of underclassmen led by redshirt junior quarterback Jacob Eason, junior running back Salvon Ahmed, junior cornerbacks Keith Taylor and Elijah Molden and junior tight end Hunter Bryant.
The UFC returns to action with its first card of 2019 and first of the UFC on ESPN era with the TJ Dillashaw vs Henry Cejudo superfight for the Flyweight championship at 125 pounds.
