Watch UFC on FOX 24 headliner Demetrious Johnson take out Henry Cejudo with relative ease

On Saturday, UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson chases some more history.

Johnson (25-2-1 MMA, 13-1-1 UFC) is the only 125-pound champion in UFC history. He takes on Wilson Reis (22-6 MMA, 6-2 UFC) in the UFC on FOX 24 main event, and a win will tie him with Anderson Silva with the most consecutive UFC title defenses at 10.

Johnson is a massive favorite in the fight at more than 8-1 at some online sports books – just like he has been for most of his fights as champion. UFC on FOX 24 takes place Saturday at Spirit Center in Kansas City, Mo. The main card airs on FOX following prelims on FOX and UFC Fight Pass.

But before Johnson fights Reis, we can take a look back at one of his greatest performances as champion. At UFC 197, Johnson took on unbeaten Olympic gold medalist Henry Cejudo.

In the fight, “Mighty Mouse” had to deal with something he wasn’t really used to when Cejudo took him down. But it didn’t take long for Johnson to get back to his feet, then lay a beatdown on Cejudo to defend his title yet again.

Check out that fight above. Then don’t miss Johnson’s title defense against Reis at UFC on FOX 24 on Saturday.
