T.J. Dillashaw wants Henry Cejudo next. Cejudo is eyeing the same. And it seems that’s the direction the UFC is pointing as well.
That leaves Marlon Moraes — one of the next men up in the bantamweight division — with a bad taste in his mouth. Cejudo is the UFC flyweight champion, while Dillashaw holds the bantamweight gold. Moraes believes he should be next in line for a title shot.
In June, Moraes knocked out fellow contender Jimmie Rivera in 33 seconds. That’s the kind of performance that gets athletes bigger opportunities.
