#3 Henry Cejudo vs. T.J. Dillashaw (UFC on ESPN+ 1 - January 2019)
Make no mistake about it, Henry Cejudo's first title defense was considered by most to be all about T.J Dillashaw's opportunity to become a double titleholder.
Dropping down to challenge Henry Cejudo for the Flyweight championship, then-Bantamweight king Dillashaw was looking to write his name into the history books. With a victory over Triple C, Dillashaw would have been just the third male fighter in history to hold two UFC championships simultaneously.

Henry Cejudo did not care about that script though, tearing it to pieces within moments of the start of the bout. In total, it took Cejudo only 32 seconds to stop Dillashaw with punches.
Unlike his upset victory over Johnson, there was no controversy this time. Cejudo had emphatically defeated one of the best fighters in the sport. A real star-making performance.
Immediately after the fight, Cejudo challenged Dillashaw to a rematch. This time, though, the proposed fight was to be for Dillashaw's Bantamweight title.
Cejudo's plans would be derailed, however, when Dillashaw tested positive for a banned substance in his post-fight drug test. Dillashaw received a two-year ban and was forced to surrender his 135-pound title following the failure.
As it turned out, Henry Cejudo would still receive his shot at Bantamweight glory a few months later.
