Henry bitter. Give it up.

TJ got famous beating overrated Cody
He got famous and he got the belt for outclassing Renan Barão who at the time was possibly the best P4P fighter on the roster.

Say what you will about TJ but in his prime he was one of the best bantamweights ever imo.
 
No he wanted to be paid for fighting TJ. He was happy to fight in a champ vs champ fight if he was compensated.

“I never got the opportunity to do that, so when they tried to stiff arm me for the fight against T.J. Dillashaw I was like ‘Pay me a f—ing million dollars and I’ll do it,’” he recalled. “‘This is a super fight, let’s make some super money.’ They never wanted to do that. That’s why I came out like that, basically pushing back, like when does a champion have leverage, when does a champion get what’s due to him?”

30/30 for his 3rd title defence. Good on him for going to ONe

DJ was a successful champion
But he wasn't popular lol
no fucking way He deserved $1 million

they were throwing him a bone trying to save his division letting him take on TJ

DJ was scared of losing and pulled a John Jones
DJ wouldn't have been able to handle the epo levels of srtiking output so he tucked tail and ran to Japan...

lol at using his height as an excuse
 
A case could be made that beating dom at his age wasn’t terribly impressive. TJ was so drawn out he barely made it to the cage and the Marlon win has aged like milk. I’m not making that case, obviously. But it could be made.
 
Henry defended both belts, once each
I think the only person who has defended two belts multiple times was Amanda Nunes. GSP didn't defend 185 and Conor never defended either belt.
 
Most overrated 2 division champ of them all. The DJ fight was super close and he got stopped the first time they fought. Never defended his belt once. TJ got famous beating overrated Cody. He ran after that

The fight was close. Wasn't like it was clearly for him. stop crying on twitter

<36>

He defended both belts...

The guy is an absolute star over in One. Everyone was cheering for him in his fight and wanted him to keep fighting. It was a US card.

The UFC can only build one type of fighter and that's the Conor Mcgregor blueprint. If you can't talk absolute crap, post random rants on social media and get arrested regualrly, they don't know what to do with you.

Why shoudn't DJ get paid? I don't think he was scared at all as he has been fighting bigger guys in one, I just think he had cleared his division and wanted some cash. The UFC could have offered him half of that and done alright. It's not as if DJ couldn't beat Moreno and Figgy either.
