kenlow73 Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Some, I'm paraphrasing what I read. This all started when the Garbrandt vs Dillashaw match was scraped because Cody hurt his back. Dillashaw requested for them to allow him to drop to Flyweight and fight Mighty Mouse. which led Borg to tweet "So fuck me right? Guess I'm chopped liver." This led to Might Mouse to tweet: Borg's final tweet of tonight was: So, what do you think? Should DJ just be a yes man and fight who the UFC gives him or have a say in who he defends the title against? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Champions should always defend against the best fighter that is available, and in this case it happens to be TJ Dillashaw. People can pretend to be purists and claim that jumping queues is a horrible sport-killing act, but in a division like 125 - especially in its current landscape - it is more than acceptable, its almost necessary. Joey B has lost to DJ twice, and the only other two eligible guys are Borg and Pettis, neither of which need to fight DJ right now. Borg is half the fighter TJ is at the moment, and there should be no rush to get him in there with DJ. He's only 23 years old, and will more than likely contend for the belt at some point in the future regardless. So they should just fuckin book Johnson vs. Dillashaw. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rei Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 They were planning on booking that but DJ says no. Of course he would, why would he fight TJ Dillashaw for the same money that he'd get for smashing someone with 1/10th of his skill? DJ isn't willing to truly challenge himself or we would've seen a Cruz rematch, a Barao fight (way back), or any other move to Bantamweight. Apparently he wants more to fight TJ, and that in itself is fine but he can't dodge true competition just to break a record that doesn't really mean anything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericj Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 I hope they don't feed Ray Borg to DJ they honestly should go with the Tj Dillshaw fight i want to see it and it will sale. They need to wait until next year or early 2019 because Dj is on a antoher level that Borg isnt on but he will be with alittle bit more time. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stpierrecanada Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 If DJ ducks TJ here he just proves he is not one of the true GOAT's. He needs to move up or fight TJ, end of story.. this title defence record is a joke, he says he wants 15 or 20 defences and has no plans on moving up. We all know he's the Flyweight GOAT, he has been. He would lose to the top guys at 135 I believe and he must know that too. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambo Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 DJ isn't ducking TJ. Even if he doesn't take the fight. I guarantee you if they'd compensate him properly, he'd take the fight. TJ is far from a draw but doesn't deserve to leapfrog anybody at 125. TJ is just trying to stay relevant since Cody dropped out and no other opponents make sense for him because if he fights anybody that isn't a champ, he falls out of contention and has to grind his way back to the top. If he drops down and loses to DJ, he can still fight Cody for the belt. If DJ ducks TJ here he just proves he is not one of the true GOAT's.

I'd be willing to bet he'd give fits to everybody at 135. His title defense record isn't a joke considering he's fought and accepted just about (if not) every offer on the table. No reason to move up and fight unless he's getting paid more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with all your points. And I don't think DJ needs the TJ fight to solidify his legacy as a potential GOAT. GSP never went up despite talks, Jon Jones has been teasing a HW run but hasn't done it, Anderson went up but fought mediocre LHW's, and they're all considered for that title but now its gonna hurt Mighty Mouse? That's ridiculous, but I think he would fight him except like Rambo said he hasn't been compensated properly for that fight once he does I have no doubts he'll take the fight.

kenlow73 Posted June 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Dana came out and said it doesn't matter if DJ wants to fight Borg, he (Dana) makes the matches not him (DJ) and the UFC is pushing on with plans for DJ vs TJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The1rstSaint Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Glad Demetrius is speaking up now. I believe he is 100% right. Dana is becoming a bigger dirt bag every day he don't give a damn about the fighters unless they bend over for him. It may be time to make some big changes but I'm sure they wontt.

Mcgregor beat jose aldo for the featherweight belt, then beat alvarez for the lightweight belt, both flawless.

Lol, guys like Dodson, Joe B and Horiguchi are/would all be legit ranked bantanweights. The division seems weak because DJ is so good and the only champ ever. The UFC not promoting it and letting their talent go doesn't help either. Bisping is clearly the weakest champ btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got the Anderson Silva, let's give you an old guy on his way out the door treatment, and still go rock n' sock'd em. I'd love to see Bisping vs Mousasi though, I feel like they'd be a good throw down. Mousasi didn't look good vs Weidman at all imo, but I think him and Bisping would be a good scrap (with Mousasi potentially destroying Bisping). He just seemed very heavy on his feet and flat-footed and much slower striking than usual. Maybe to stop TDs? Idk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
