That's the problem. We don't know. But now that's what everyone is going to be talking about. It sucks for TJ, but it kind of sucks for Cejudo, too. I mean, he got the win and all, so I'm sure he's not going to be too disappointed, but I'm sure he'd rather than not be any doubt in anyone's mind.

TJ got dropped twice in a matter of like 8 seconds.

I had no problem with that stoppage. Let them run it back at 135, the weight cut obviously hurt him.

He wanted to avoid TJ at 135 actually. DJ did not want to go up unless he was paid more to take harder punches.

Dana was so salty at the outcome he literally ran off in anger LOL

I noticed that too, just by his reaction I think the division is gone.

Not true.

Cool, but a lot of people did have a problem with the stoppage. Anik and DC who didn't have a problem with the stoppage, still have to address it. It's part of the story now.

TJ said he'd go down to 125 for DJ, too.

TJ called him out numerous times for a fight at 125. DJ avoided him at any weight class

They really shouldn't...

You know what would have helped TJ's cause? Not getting dropped twice. I'd rather see a fight get stopped one punch too early than one punch too late. If TJ wants to blame anyone, it should be himself for getting caught.

Yup. It was a dumb career move by DJ (as I said repeatedly in here at the time) and here we are. He had a chance to jump in the Dillashaw/Garbrandt rivalry and went running instead.

“Mighty Mouse” did begin his career as a bantamweight, but has since moved down to flyweight when the UFC opened up the division in 2012. He says he is willing to make the jump back up, but only if it comes with better compensation.

“Make it worth my while. Show me the money,” Johnson said on Monday’s MMA Hour episode (via MMA Fighting). “These guys are taking concussions. Like I said after the fight, I’m not in the business to get concussions. I do not like getting hit. I can take a hit, but I don’t want to damage my brain if I don’t have to.”

I think it was timing with surgery. UFC forced TJ to fight Cody again.

TJ Dillashaw wanted to drop to 125lbs to fight DJ after Dillashaw beat Garbrandt.

DJ said no and that Dillashaw had to win another fight at 125lbs before he would give him the shot.

Dillashaw's asking for a rematch at 125 lbs and that's the last thing that needs to happen. It has to be at 135 lbs if there's an immediate rematch or else just have them defend their belts against other contenders.

Nothing to do with what I said. I said DJ did not want to go to 135 unless he was paid more.

DJ fought Cejudo on the same card as TJ vs. Cody 2.

Dude's got a massive ego so that was probably hard for him to accept. It was a bad stoppage but would definitely like to see it at 135 instead

It has everything to do with what you said. Someone said DJ avoided TJ at 125lbs, and you incorrectly corrected them.

I think you leave it up to Cejudo. He seems to want it at 135lb, so give him the shot to be the champ-champ. He earned it.

If TJ wins the rematch at 135lb, then what do you do?

They should have held the fight on an Indian reservation so after TJ claimed Cejudo didn't win, they could've stood them up and done the rematch right there tonight :sarcasm:

Whether or not DJ wanted TJ to earn a spot or not is irrelevant. That was one time, in other times he said sure. Either way, he wanted to avoid TJ at 135 but was open to TJ at 125. Whether it's after 1 fight or 0 he was willing.

Quick correction - it was actually before the 1st Garbrandt fight that DJ was ducking Dillashaw at 125lbs:

Demetrious Johnson lays out reasons why he doesn’t want to fight T.J. Dillashaw

I believe he changed his mind but it never happened. TJ wanted time to drop weight and they were pressuring him to fight Cody again.

I'm a TJ fan but he's obviously biased. The call wasn't as bad as he claims it was, he needs to watch the tape when he cools off.

TJ was taking damage but I definitely think the stoppage was early. We’ve seen TJ recover from situations before. TJ was not given a chance to recover in this fight. Props to Cejudo for forcing that situation and coming out aggressively, but I do think the stoppage was the wrong call.

It's a grey area. Just sucks because now there's that doubt. Unsure what they'll do.

LyricalLyricist · Jan 20, 2019

You just know Cejudo is being prepped by Ali(his manager) on what to say about a TJ rematch at 125. Too much risk, they'd want 135 shot.
