The co-main event of the night in the Flyweight division follows, featuring undefeated Olympic Gold medallist Henry Cejudo challenging undisputed champion Demetrious Johnson, who is searching for his mind-boggling eighth straight title defence.
The fight gets underway after Bruce Buffer makes the official introductions. Cejudo starts the fight by pressuring Demetrious, and they clinch. Surprising that Mighty Mouse opts to fight him in the clinch given his wrestling credentials, and true enough, Cejudo takes down Johnson early in the first round.

Demetrious Johnson then hurts and dazes Cejudo with a knee to the head when seperating from the clinch, and follows it up with another devastating knee to the body that completely buckles the challenger, forcing Big John McCarthy to step in and call an end to proceedings at just 2 minutes and 49 seconds of the first round. Mighty Mouse is now only 2 wins away from equalling the record set by Anderson Silva for the most title defences in a row.
This man never ceases to amaze.
