Odds Analysis
This is Cejudo’s second straight fight as an underdog after he closed as a big +350 puppy contrary to Demetrious”Mighty Mouse” Johnson, arguably the pound-for-pound greatest in the moment. The former Olympian outwrestled DJ en route to some split-decision success to become the second-ever flyweight champion.

This is the fifth time that the UFC has had two sitting winners endure toe-to-toe and the fighter who has made the burden course move is 3-1 in the past four fights, with B.J. Penn’s reduction to GSP in 2009 function as the sole defeat. That having been said, Dillashaw is the first to fall down in weight to challenge for a second belt, since B.J.
