Demetrious Johnson handed Henry Cejudo his first professional MMA loss at UFC 197, and the flyweight champ received plenty of praise from his fellow fighters after doing so.

Johnson took Cejudo out in the opening round of the card’s co-headliner, by finishing the decorated wrestler with strikes from the clinch. After the highlight reel finish, here are some of the compliments Johnson received on Twitter.
