So why aren’t TJ and DJ fighting each other if both of them are booked for UFC 227?

[Dozer .]

I thought the fight wasn’t happening because DJ was recovering from shoulder surgery? Now they are fighting on the same card but not against each other?

What gives?

 

[The Schmoop]

DJ doesn’t want to lose.

 

[Psychedelic]

DJ is a fraud.

 

[Rygu]

DJ begs for respect but won't go up in weight to properly earn it.

 

[IloveTHIS]

We all know why, come on now.

DJ knows people 20 years from now wont know his record is a fraud due to him ducking his only real challenger.

LMAO! Going UP in weight? DJ flat out refuses to fight TJ IN HIS OWN WEIGHT CLASS AT 125!

FRAUD

 

[Project 86]

because ufc doesn't want to pay dj for a fight where he has everything to lose

 

[DocK]

Black mark on his career.

 

[VVarhead]

Because DJ is a duck.

 

[ritchest_eva]

Cuz DJ is scared

This is what Dana just said about GSP fighting Conor or Khabib at LW.

“What, I’m going to have him fight down there? First of all, I don’t even know if he can make the weight. … And what has he done in that division to deserve a fight with either one of those guys? The answer is nothing.”

The exact same thing could be said about TJ at Flyweight.

This.

Easier to blame the fighter though.

Exact same posters are going to be crying about GSP's and Conor's unwarranted fights.

 

[Arqueto]

Because Dillasnake never beat Dodson to earn that shot at the G.O.A.T.

FRAUD

We all do know why and so does TS. He just wanted to start shit again. This could be merged with like 100 other threads.

 

[Mmmmmmma1234]

Because dj only fights cantenders, unless the ufc gives him a guaranteed 2 million <45>what a joke of a champion.

 

[Turkleton]

DJ is scared homie

 

[Meathead Jock]

Because tieing up two belts is a trend that needs to stop and would have been dumb. TJ needs to defend at his weight.

Dillashaw has agreed to meet him at 125. He's willing to defend agaisnt all these cans but when a legit fighter steps up he gets scared and runs to his jerry hole.

FRAUD

Did TJ offer to fight him at 125lbs? I'm not even sure TJ could go that low could he?

 

[campbecc]

Dana got mad when TJ wouldn't fight Cody on short notice and took the fight off the table.
