Wonder why Dillashaw doesn't have an opponent yet

[IamStryker]

With Dominick fighting Faber I would think that TJ and the UFC would have a fight for him lined up by now. Are there any rumors about this that I haven't seen yet?

If Dodson can make a quick turn around a rematch between them would be awesome.

TJ deserves the rematch over Faber so much, it's actually pretty silly.

Maybe he is there to step in if Dominick gets injured which is highly likely.

Yes, he's patiently waiting in the grass.

With UFC 199 having Weidman and Cruz taking up the main and co main spots it's good to have a back up plan. The UFC doesn't want another UFC 151 situation. I wonder who Weidman's back up is?

He was offered Assuncao but he declined, I think he is waiting it out to see if he gets the next title shot Woodley style or he's hoping someone gets injured. He better take a fight soon or the division will pass with Dodson winning and Almeida/Garbrandt/Sterling fighting for the chance

That division is getting so good. Time soon for Mighty Mouse to move up

I like the idea of Dodson vs TJ II . If that fight happens, that would explain why he doesn't have a fight announced yet. The UFC was waiting for the result of yesterday's fight.

Mighty Mouse won't move up. He's content cruising along collecting easy paychecks at flyweight .

I don't blame him. Most people will take the easiest job possible that makes the most money, I know I do.

I want to see Dodson vs John Linekar next.
Dillashaw is probably waiting for winner of Cruz vs Faber, or I am sure he is waiting if one of them pulls out so he can step in

After he wins his next fight, there is literately nothing left for him at 125. I'm hoping the UFC folds that division all together..

What you don't have faith the UFC will find someone for him through TUF

If the new TUF with 125lbs, doesn't produce any legit talent or prospects I think it's going to be abolished.

Source on this?
Because he was asking for the fight, as far as I'm concerned.

 

[bigma]

They won't get rid of a division at this point. it would look like they are going backward. They could save face a bit if they did get rid of it by adding a women's 125 division, which is somewhat needed and would more accurately fit a lot of the current 135lbers.

I wouldn't care if it went away but I don't think it will. The UFC has so many events a year they need to fill. The flyweight division is a filler right now.

I wanna see Dodson fight him again. I could see him still winning that fight

Fair enough, I guess he's willing to fight at less than 100% if it's for the title, but not another fight, as the risk outweighs the reward. Don't agree though, even as a TJ fan.
