Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson defeated Olympian gold medal wrestler Henry Cejudo with a first round TKO in the UFC 197 co-main event. Johnson (24-2-1) handed Cejudo his first loss in professional mixed martial arts (10-1). Johnson extended his active record of UFC title defenses to eight.
The fight was called in 2:49 due to knees and punches. Johnson dominated Cejudo in the clinch, further proving his case as the number one pound for pound fighter in the UFC. Johnson is currently ranked second behind Light Heavyweight Interim Champion Jon Jones. The fight was Cejudo's first title shot. Cejudo was able to get a takedown on Johnson, but he quickly got right back up and took it to Cejudo.
Finding a new opponent will now be a tough task for UFC President Dana White. Johnson has dominated everyone in his weight class. Rumor has it that Johnson will either face the winner of "The Ultimate Fighter" or go up a weight class and face Bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz.
