Current UFC Bantamweight champion T.J Dillashaw who will move down in weight class to challenge UFC Flyweight champion Henry Cejudo were scheduled to fight at UFC 233 at the Honda Center in Anaheim on January 26. But now they both have been removed from UFC 233 and will instead headline UFC’s debut on ESPN+.
Henry Cejudo beat former UFC pound-for-pound flyweight champion Demetrious ‘Mighty Mouse’ Johnson at UFC 227 which took place in Los Angeles, California. On the same card in the main event, TJ Dillashaw successfully defended his bantamweight title in a rematch against Cody Garbrandt by knocking him out in the very first round. He won the title last year when he knocked out Cody in the second round at UFC 217.
The UFC Fight Night will take place in January. 26 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York while Joanne Calderwood vs. Arlene Lipski has also moved to the same card from UFC 233.
Henry Cejudo vs. TJ Dillashaw for the UFC flyweight title is the new UFC Brooklyn main event on Jan. 19, per multiple sources. The fight has been moved from UFC 233 to the ESPN+ debut. No word just yet on what will headline 233 on Jan. 26. Work in progress. Story coming to @espn.
