Demetrious Johnson vs. TJ Dillashaw at Bantamweight.

[Harlekin]

Cruz threw him around.
TJ isn't as tall, but

Cruz fight night: 150
Dillashaw fight night: 149,5
DJ: 142

DJ doesn't carry around that extra weight that well

Yes.

MM was in the right for rejecting the fight because TJ wasn't even a champ and the idea that this fight would have sold a lot of PPV's was a fallacy. It was a trap so Dana could blame MM when the PPV he'd set up to do big numbers inevitably didn't do big numbers. He also might not have made 125 and for MM at this point getting title defenses was his number 1 priority and he wouldn't want to fight at catchweight.

MM did agree to fight Cody(the 135 champ at the time) and did move to 135 in ONE. 125 is a division in ONE he could have remained at 125 and challenged himself less.

I'm not sure what you are talking about. TJ was champ at the time. Also pretending TJ wasnt going to make weight is fake because he did make 125. Cejudo made the choices and had the success that DJ passed up on.

He didn't choose to move to one 135, it's natural weight classes at ONE so he's naturally a 135 pound fighter due to hydration tests.

MM was very risk adverse, he wasn't willing to take any chances. He could've had some money fights but didn't want the risk associated with it. But now that he's lost he seems to be willing to take more risks. He's doing a mixed rules fight over at ONE. He was trying to protect his legacy before which is understandable.

DJ would sub TJ

DJ would sub TJ

First guy to ever sub the snake? I can't see it.

Mighty Mouse wanted nothing to do with TJ. He even offered to move down his weight and he ducked him hard.

 

[Jorge Luis Borges]

I got TJ in that fight, but DJ is a live dog in every fight below 145.

Could Mighty Mouse have beaten Dillashaw and become a 2 weight champion?

they'd beat each other in their OWN divisions, but no other way. we all saw what flyweight tj looked like, that cut was NOT pretty
