Henry Cejudo and T.J. Dillashaw seem to be fighting each other for vastly different reasons Saturday night.
At the UFC Brooklyn press conference Thursday, Cejudo said he was attempting to “resurrect” the UFC’s potentially expiring flyweight division, in honor of other 125-pounders who could be losing their jobs. Dillashaw made it very clear that he was attempting to come down from his perch as bantamweight champion and take Cejudo’s flyweight title for one person: himself.
“This is personal,” Cejudo said. “This dude is a guy that was trying to start the union, start the union with the UFC [fighters] to getting paid a shitload of money to get rid of a division.
