TJ Dillashaw calls for flyweight title bout, but Demetrious Johnson isn’t interested

UFC bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt is currently nursing a back injury that leaves him questionable for a July title defense. After hearing about this, challenger T.J. Dillashaw is now looking to drop down to flyweight for a bout against top pound-for-pound fighter, Demetrious Johnson.

Should the bout push through, Johnson would be looking to break Anderson Silva’s record of 10 title defenses, while Dillashaw would be trying to play spoiler and become a two-division champion himself.

While that sounds like an intriguing match up to many, the event is approaching, and the flyweight champ doesn’t seem too interested in the match up.
