The main event of the evening was the much anticipated Flyweight contest between reigning champion Henry Cejudo and UFC bantamweight titleholder T J Dillashaw.\u00a0 Despite much trash-talking in the run-up, Dillashaw showed his commitment to this different weight class and easily made weight.\u00a0 However, the fight itself was not to prove as easy.\u00a0 Cejudo came out the aggressor, but Dillashaw did manage to land a couple of leg kicks, however, the former Olympic medallist continued to press forward and the referee called a stop to the contest after just 31 seconds, by way of a TKO.\u00a0 Dillashaw was upset with the stoppage but the neutrals watching the contest could see he was uncoordinated and as such agree it was a good stoppage.\u00a0 Already \u2013 almost inevitably \u2013 there is talk of a rematch, but maybe this time with roles reversed with the fight taking place at bantamweight.<\/p>\n
The co-main event of the event, Greg Hardy Vs Allen Crowder at heavyweight, had been controversial since being announced, due to the well documented criminal conviction of former NFL player Hardy.\u00a0 Round one proved somewhat frustrating for spectators, with the referee even calling for more action.\u00a0 Both fighters battled hard, but neither seemed to make the breakthrough.\u00a0 Round two started with a couple of attacks from both sides, but it was obvious to see both fighters\u2019 pace was already slowing.\u00a0 Halfway through the round Crowder attempted a takedown and Hardy blocked it, but whilst Crowder was still down Hardy delivered an illegal knee to his opponents\u2019 temple.\u00a0 The referee moved in to stop the action and stated that if Crowder was unable to continue he would disqualify Hardy \u2013 which is exactly what happened.\u00a0 So, a disappointing victory for Crowder, and it is difficult to see how Hardy can redeem himself from here.<\/p>\n
