Cejudo won his UFC debut against Dustin Kimura via unanimous decision in December 2014. He followed that up with three more wins in 2015 to take his MMA record to 10-0.

He lost to Demetrious Johnson in his first fight of 2016 at UFC 197, failing to win the Flyweight Championship from Johnson. He lost his second consecutive fight to Joseph Benavidez via split decision at The Ultimate Fighter: Tournament of Champions Finale in a bout where he was docked a point in the first round for repeated low blows.

His first title defense was against TJ Dillashaw in January 2019, and Cejudo won the fight in 32 seconds via TKO due to punches. Cejudo followed that up with a win over Marlon Moraes for the vacant Bantamweight Championship, and he defended that in a 2020 win over Dominick Cruz.

Cejudo had vacated the Flyweight Championship before his fight against Moraes, and he vacated the Bantamweight Championship after his win over Cruz.

He took nearly three years off after his May 9, 2020 win over Cruz. He came back at UFC 288 on May 6, 2023, and faced Aljamain Sterling for the Bantamweight Championship that Cejudo never lost, but Sterling won the bout.
