The promising run of potential title contender Sergio Pettis was brought to an unceremonious end by Henry Cejudo . Cejudo (12-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC), a onetime title challenger, used his Olympic wrestling pedigree to deposit Pettis (16-3 MMA, 7-3 UFC) on the mat and control him there, resulting in a shutout on judges’ scorecards. The flyweight bout was part of the main card of today’s UFC 218 event at the new Little Caesars Arena in downtown Detroit. It aired on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass. Related UFC 218 play-by-play and live results The final scores were all 30-27 for Cejudo, who picked up his second straight win after a pair of setbacks to champ Demetrious Johnson and perennial contender Joseph Benavidez, respectively. Just as significant was the cold water thrown on the idea of Pettis as fresh blood for champ Johnson.
