Henry Cejudo Believes He Might Finish TJ Dillashaw “Quicker” At Bantamweight

Henry Cejudo and TJ Dillashaw likely haven’t seen the last of each other inside the Octagon.

Dillashaw was defeated by Cejudo in the main event of UFC on ESPN+ 1 last month. Cejudo pulled off a stunning first-round TKO victory over the 135-pound champ. Some believe the stoppage was a tad premature, especially Dillashaw, while others believed it was just. With that being said, much talk of a rematch has been dominating the conversation.

It’s likely it takes place at 135 pounds, so Cejudo could attempt to become the UFC’s fourth-ever “Champ Champ.” If that were to happen, Cejudo tells MMA Fighting he might finish Dillashaw even “quicker” at bantamweight (via Bloody Elbow):

“Maybe I’m gonna finish him quicker,” Cejudo said.

It would certainly be interesting to see Cejudo and Dillashaw matched up at 135 pounds. Dillashaw was extremely upset with the way the first fight with Cejudo ended, and complained the stoppage was early. He put in a ton of work to make the cut down to 125 pounds, and felt as if his opportunity at becoming a two-division UFC champion was robbed from him.

Even UFC President Dana White believes the stoppage was early. If the UFC does decide to run it back, it will likely take place at bantamweight. Especially with all the doubts surrounding the flyweight division.

Henry Cejudo names a fighter that he thinks is a worthy challenger in case a second bout against UFC bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw doesn’t work out.

The UFC flyweight champion is just like everyone else in the same thinking of who he’ll fight in his next bout, which is Dillashaw.

However, if the UFC decides against running the fightback at bantamweight this time, Cejudo has no problem with that. The reason for it is due to him having a backup plan, which is a fight against tile contender Joseph Benavidez.

It should be noted that this all comes down to if the UFC decides to keep the flyweight division around after months of speculation. Benavidez is currently on a two-fight winning streak with wins over Alex Perez by TKO in November 2018 and most recently, Dustin Ortiz by decision at UFC on ESPN+1.

“If T.J. wants to run it back at 125 we can,” Cejudo told MMAJunkie. “If he still feels like he can beat me at ’25, let’s just run it again. To go to ’35 would be for the legacy, but I’m not opposed to him coming down to ’25 again. I’m not opposed to it. But the next person in line for me would be Benavidez.”
