T.J. Dillashaw willing to drop down to 125 pounds and challenge flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson

There really isn't anyone left in the 125-pound division to challenge current Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) flyweight king Demetrious Johnson for Octagon supremacy. After successfully defending his title eight-straight times and leaving a somewhat talented division in ruin, Johnson is a champion without challengers. That's why the promotion will grant a title shot to the winner of The Ultimate Fighter Season 24 Flyweight Tournament, which includes 125-pound champions from around the world.

Luckily for Johnson and fight fans eager to see "Mighty Mouse" tested like never before inside of the cage, TUF may not be the only avenue for the champion to acquire a hungry title challenger.
