Nope. DJ dropped to 125 and immediately challenged for the open title. If TJ can make 125 he's the next contender. There's zero proof you need a fight in the division to be a contender. A contender, by definition, is a worthy opponent. That's why no one calls Pettis a contender. Because even at 125 he has no shot of beating DJ. So he's no contender.I didn't say it wouldn't be a flyweight fight. I am saying that TJ is not in his division which he isn't. TJ is a BW. MM has no obligation to fight Bantamweights.
There is zero hypocrisy there.
He has always asked for a lot of money for a superfight. That has never changed.
He isn't a flyweight contender unless he has fought at flyweight. Which he hasn't.
If the UFC says TJ is the next contender at 125 then he is. None of your hot gas proves otherwise.
If you have sources from the UFC please show me. Thanks.
