It was his first defeat as a UFC competitor.<\/p>\n<p>While analysts said Dillashaw&#8217;s only path to victory would be to use his wrestling ability, the fighter instead proved himself to be the more dominant striker.  Dillashaw convincingly outpointed Barao in all areas of the stand-up game.<\/p>\n<p>Midway through the fifth round, Dillashaw dropped Barao before finishing the fight with punches.  It was not Dillashaw&#8217;s first knockdown of the fight&#8211;he scored one in the first round&#8211;but it was the one that officially put the belt around his waist.<\/p>\n<p>The fight was waved off due to TKO at 2:26 of Round Five.<\/p>\n<p>Other results from the show:<br \/>\nJingliang Li def.
