When John Dodson sees Demetrious Johnson sitting at No. 3 among the best pound-for-pound fighters in the UFC, he gets a little upset. It gets worse when his eyes travel just a little further down the list. T.J. Dillashaw is now ranked at No. 5.
Back in 2011, Dodson defeated Dillashaw via first-round knockout. He also has given Johnson his toughest test in a flyweight title defense, in 2013. Yet Dodson's name is nowhere to be found on that pound-for-pound ranking.
"I've already destroyed [Dillashaw] and he's talking about how he should be up on the pound-for-pound list," Dodson said at a recent UFC 191 media lunch in Los Angeles.
