Over the weekend, Max Holloway was forced out of his title defense against Frankie Edgar that was supposed to headline UFC 222 next month. With the UFC scrambling to fill the void, they apparently targeted a rematch between bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw and former champion Cody Garbrandt. Dillashaw shut down the idea, saying that he would not be accepting a short notice fight to defend his belt and reasserting that he was planning on fighting flyweight champion and pound-for-pound kingpin, Demetrious Johnson, later this year. Well apparently, Demetrious Johnson has the same plans.
