Olympic gold medalist Henry Cejudo quickly showed that he’s not just a wrestler in his UFC debut in 2014. Cejudo (15-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC) faced Dustin Kimura at UFC on FOX 13 in his hometown of Phoenix, and he came out swinging. Cejudo looked sharp and crisp with his combinations, dropping Kimura with a straight right, midway through Round 1. Rounds 2 and 3 were more of the same, with a bloody and busted Kimura on the back foot, and Cejudo making him pay on the counter, mixing things up to the body. He finally attempted two takedowns late, but never fully committed to them, with Kimura defending well. It was a dominant performance for Cejudo, who dropped to flyweight in his next fight and notched two more wins, which earned him a title shot against champion Demetrious Johnson
