On Saturday, former UFC title challenger Henry Cejudo earned his first knockout win inside the Octagon.
At UFC 215, Cejudo fought fellow former title challenger Wilson Reis.
The former Olympic wrestler showed improved striking throughout the first round of his fight with Reis. Right at the start of round two, Cejudo landed a punch that dropped the Brazilian fighter. Cejudo then swarmed Reis on the ground until the referee pulled him away. In the end, Cejudo earned a knockout victory 25 seconds into the second round.
With his dominant performance, Cejudo once again proved why is one of the top contenders in the flyweight division and is on his way to earning another title opportunity.
Many UFC fighters were impressed by Cejudo’s performance. Below, you can see what fighters said about Cejudo’s knockout win on Twitter.
