All eyes would be on the main event duo of Henry Cejudo and T.J. Dillashaw on Friday as the UFC Brooklyn weigh-in got underway.
With T.J. Dillashaw making his first cut to flyweight since his wrestling days, the bantamweight champion’s weight cut was a frequent topic of conversation during fight week for UFC Brooklyn. Dillashaw, of course, was set to challenge Henry Cejudo for the latter’s 125lb championship. On Friday, he’d face the first half of the battle, making weight.
Also hitting the scales Friday, Cowboy Cerrone, dropping back to lightweight after a stint in the 170lb division.
The good news came early, as T.J. Dillashaw hit the scales, and made weight without issue. Cejudo would also hit the mark as well, weighing in well within the first hour.
“For all you f*****g doubters out there.”
