Joe Silva was a wizard at making pairs, but the best matchmaker of all time has always been Benjamin Franklin.

Dillashaw.
This whole thing is very weird and divisive, this DJ vs. TJ/Ray Borg entanglement. A champion is asking for a bout with the next contender in his division — in this case, Borg — while the UFC is trying to coerce him into a fight with a more fan friendly fight (the former bantamweight champ, Dillashaw).
