Tj yes. With slight charisma. Will need help.
I dont think Henry has any charisma what so ever. So no on this one
This. Also TJ’s fight style is way more viewer friendly

The Cejudo that lost to Benavidez would not have beaten MM. God forbid a wrestler improve his comfort level on the feethenry cejudo can't even beat joseph benavidez, get outta here with that shit
yeah he will get it then he will drop the 125 one, most likely
that's a really bullshit reason, like he has high morals or something. he didn't want to fight dillashaw, that's it. now, if dillashaw beats cejudo, TJ can still be the champ and face MM to defend his title, and now MM won't be able to run, unless he doesn't want to fight for the title^ Another one of MM's reasons for not wanting to fight TJ for the FlyW belt. He didn't want his division to be left the way Conor left FW and LW. As MM said "if you want a free title shot, go to LW. They have an open spot because their Champ isn't defending." - Paraphrased a bit

he wanted him to fight another guy to ensure he could make weight. it makes some sense, but because his division would be without a champion.... eh, it smells like duck. also what do you mean by offered? offered to move up by asking 1+ million purse? this was never realistic, he doesn't sell enough to ask thatOh so you're saying you know him and he DOESN'T have high morals or something? I mean, he also wanted TJ to fight a top 5 at FlyW to insure he can make weight at the very least. He and TJ even agreed on getting TJ's pay if TJ missed weight, but Dana and Co declined because their boastful confidence in TJ making weight was BS.
Also, MM has offered to move up to fight for the BW belt before, but Dana said it "wasn't marketable". Let TJ demand a shot at 125, and somehow now it's the biggest fight in the lighter divisions. When has MM ever said no to a fight? He fought at BW against the best in the world (at that time) while only training part-time...but now that he's evolved into such a better fighter he is all of a sudden scared? Haha okay. If that makes sense to you.

This is exactly the kind of thinking the WME era UFC is all about but for me it is desperate and sad.300k for a card filled with smaller fighter isn't terrible. It seems like TJ/Cejudo is imminent at 125, even MM has signed off on it. TJ is a top 3 p4p fighter and Cejudo the Mexican American(does this matter?) gold medalist who beat MM.
They are starting to do their own promos with Mario Lopez + tmz
TJ has defended his belt and MM will be out for a while, I think this is the time to do this fight
I understand that Cody Garbrandt probably was a big factor in the higher than usual buyrate
