Odds Analysis
That is Cejudo’s second straight fight as an underdog after he closed as a large +350 puppy contrary to Demetrious”Mighty Mouse” Johnson, arguably the pound-for-pound greatest at the moment. The former Olympian outwrestled DJ en route to a split-decision success to become the second-ever flyweight champion.
However, it makes sense for Dillashaw to be preferred because he is the larger man falling down in weight. This is the fifth time that the UFC has had two sitting champions stand toe-to-toe and the fighter that has made the weight course move is 3-1 in the past four fights, with B.J. Penn’s loss to GSP in 2009 being the sole defeat. That having been said, Dillashaw is the first to drop down in weight to battle for a second belt, as B.J. Penn, Conor McGregor, Daniel Cormier and Amanda Nunes all moved up in weight since they looked to secure two straps at the exact same moment.
