UFC on ESPN+ 1 Results: Cejudo Shocks Dillashaw

On Saturday, Jan. 19, the UFC made its debut on the ESPN streaming service, ESPN+. The card took place from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.

In the night’s main event, flyweight champion Henry Cejudo put his belt on the line for the first time against current bantamweight titleholder T.J. Dillashaw. Cejudo captured the belt with a controversial split-decision win over Demetrious Johnson in August. Dillashaw entered the title challenge riding the momentum of back-to-back stoppage wins over Cody Garbrandt.

The co-main event featured disgraced former NFL player and convicted domestic abuser Greg Hardy, who took on Allen Crowder in a heavyweight contest.
