Cejudo or Dillashaw? Who moves up the P4P list?
The UFC’s first show of 2019 goes down this week, and we kick the year off with a superfight.
In the UFC on ESPN+ 1 main event, bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw (16-3 MMA, 12-3 UFC) drops down 10 pounds to take on flyweight champ Henry Cejudo (13-2 MMA, 7-2 UFC) in an effort to become just the fourth simultaneous two-division titleholder in UFC history.
Dillashaw is about a 2-1 favorite in the fight, and if he’s successful will join Conor McGregor, Daniel Cormier and Amanda Nunes as concurrent two-division champs. But a win for Cejudo would be significant, as well, since he’d be beating an opponent coming from a higher weight class.
Since there haven’t been any major events yet in 2019, we haven’t seen any movement in our USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA rankings. But now is a good time to refresh yourself with where fighters fall on our lists – especially at pound-for-pound.
Dillashaw is No. 8 in our pound-for-pound rankings, and Cejudo isn’t far behind at No. 11. The winner on Saturday is likely to make some movement up the chart. Who will it be?
