Cejudo, Escudero, Case, Williams notch wins on UFC 188 prelims

Henry Cejudo def. Chico Camus via unanimous decision

Henry Cejudo isn't ready for Demetrious Johnson ... at least not yet.

Considered on the fast track for a title shot, Cejudo, an Olympic gold medalist, wasn't able to dominate Chico Camus with his world-class wrestling, and instead had to outwork the wily veteran on the feet.

All three rounds played out essentially the same way: Camus repeatedly stuffed Cejudo's takedowns, while Cejudo, not used to having to work exclusively standing up, narrowly landed the crisper combinations and got the better of most of the exchanges.

During the post-fight interview, Cejudo admitted he wasn't feeling well heading into the bout:

Should have skipped that taco truck, bud.

Efrain Escudero def. Drew Dober via first-round guillotine choke

Efrain Escudero liked what Patrick Williams did to Alejandro Perez so much that he decided to recreate it minutes later against Drew Dober.

Seconds into the the bout, Escudero swept Dober's legs out from under him after a failed head kick. While Dober scrambled to get back to his feet, Hecho en Mexico snaked in an ultra-tight guillotine choke, eliciting the tap at 0:54 of the first round.

Patrick Williams def. Alejandro Perez via first-round guillotine choke

It took Patrick Williams a mere 23 seconds to choke Alejandro Perez into unconsciousness.

Williams looked like he was shot out of a cannon to open the bout, sending Perez careening across the Octagon with a massive right hand. When Perez tried to regain his bearings with a takedown, Williams cinched in a crushing, fight-ending choke.

Williams didn't even break a sweat.

Johnny Case def. Francisco Trevino via unanimous decision

Apparently, Johnny Case doesn't need two eyes to grapple.

Fighting much of his bout against Francisco Trevino with one peeper after an early inadvertent eye-poke, Case, despite not having any depth perception, outpointed Trevino on the feet, and took the fight to the mat whenever he saw fit.

From there, Case dominated on the floor, threatening with several submissions, though he wasn't able to put the game Trevino away.
