T.J. Dillashaw reclaimed the UFC’s coveted bantamweight title by scoring a TKO victory over former teammate Cody Garbrandt<\/a> in the co-main event of UFC 217.<\/p>\n

Following his thrilling victory over “No Love”, Dillashaw called out current UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson for a super fight<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With that, Dillashaw is not convinced that “Mighty Mouse” will accept his challenge, as Johnson had previously declined the offer earlier this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was scared the first time, so I\u2019d imagine he\u2019s still scared now too,\u201d Dillashaw said. \u201cI respect Demetrious Johnson. I respect him as a human being. He always acts like a professional, he\u2019s a nice guy, but that still doesn\u2019t mean that I can\u2019t say that he\u2019s scared to fight me. I do respect him, I respect his choices and he\u2019s got an awesome little family and stuff, but it\u2019s time to man up. This isn\u2019t about liking or disliking me. This is about the fight that needs to happen.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Another potential option for Dillashaw could be a rematch with bitter rival Dominick Cruz. T.J. lost his title to “The Dominator” via a controversial judges split-decision back in January of 2016. <\/p>\n

\u201cCruz can suck it, man,\u201d<\/em> Dillashaw told MMAFighting<\/a>. \u201cHe\u2019s the one who made me wait forever. He knew he should\u2019ve given me that rematch. He was scared. He thought he was cherry-picking by picking Cody. He was trying to hold onto that belt, get as much as he could. So if it\u2019s up to me, he can wait. He can wait as long as I did. I couldn\u2019t care less. I mean, I do want to beat that guy. I do want to smash because I know that I can, but I don\u2019t care what he says. I\u2019m going for the fight that makes the most sense for me right now, and that\u2019s Demetrious Johnson, and I\u2019ll do whatever it takes to get it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Dominick Cruz recently suffered a broken arm, so it will be sometime before discussions of a possible rematch with Dillashaw make any real headway. <\/p>\n
