UFC 227 Pay-Per-view (PPV) went down last night (Sat. August 4, 2018) from staple center Los Angeles with one the fiery rivalry settled and longest title reign in UFC history ended.
Demetrious Johnson who lost his 125 pounds title in the co-main fight against Henry Cejudo via split decision that stole the spotlight, while, TJ Dillashaw, who once again knocked out his longtime rival Cody Garbrandt in the first round in the night’s main headliner.
Dillashaw opened up the door for a super fight with newly crowned flyweight champ Henry Cejudo, or a grudge match against – Dominick Cruz who defeated Dillashaw back in 2016 by split decision.
