Demetrious Johnson LAS VEGAS – This time Demetrious Johnson didn’t need five full rounds to defend his UFC flyweight title. This time he didn’t even need three full minutes. The defending champ blasted challenger Henry Cejudo with knees from the clinch, sending the Olympic gold medalist reeling into the fence. That’s when Johnson (24-2-1 MMA, 12-1-1 UFC) pounced, hammering Cejudo (10-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC) with punches until referee John McCarthy stepped in and stopped the fight at the 2:49 mark of Round 1, giving Johnson the TKO victory. The flyweight title bout was the co-main event of today’s UFC 197 event at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
