For T.J. Dillashaw, UFC 227 was supposed to be the set-up for a fight against all-time great, Demetrious Johnson. But while Dillashaw did his job that night and knocked out Cody Garbrandt in their rematch, Johnson came up short, losing a contentious decision to Henry Cejudo and derailing Dillashaw’s potential superfight.
Or perhaps it hasn’t.
On the most recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience MMA Show, Dillashaw revealed that he is now targeting the same flyweight superfight he wanted before, just with the new champion in place of ‘Mighty Mouse.
