After a two-year-long layoff, T.J. Dillashaw made a magnificent comeback at UFC Vegas 32 by defeating Cory Sandhagen via a split decision. After this spectacular victory, several well-known UFC personalities shared their reactions on Twitter. One such renowned personality was the former UFC two-division champion, Henry Cejudo.

Sandhagen vs. Dillashaw was an evenly matched fight. It could have gone either way. However, as Dillashaw scored a couple of takedowns, it tempted two judges to score the contest in his favor. Officially, the three judges scored 48-47 (for Sandhagen), 47-48 (for Dillashaw), and 47-48 (for Dillashaw).
