T.J. Dillashaw has a tough opponent in front of him in John Lineker. But he is still really bothered by the fact that he can’t get a rematch against UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz. Dillashaw lost his title by close split decision almost a year ago to Cruz, and figured a rematch would quickly be on the horizon. That hasn’t been the case so far.
Cruz ended up fighting (and beating) Urijah Faber, and now he’s scheduled to face Faber’s teammate Cody Garbrandt - both guys that were a little bit down the rankings list when the fights were booked.
