Morning Report: Dana White on Demetrious Johnson not wanting to fight T.J. Dillashaw: You don’t make the fights around here

After Demetrious Johnson submitted Wilson Reis at UFC on Fox 24 to tie Anderson Silva’s record for most UFC title defenses, the talk turned to whether Johnson is the greatest fighter of all time and who he would face next to break the record. Ostensibly, the next man in line for a title shot was third-ranked flyweight Ray Borg. But when bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt pulled out of his scheduled fight with former champ T.J. Dillashaw, Dillashaw campaigned for the next flyweight title shot.
