Shortly after he shocked the world be yanking the title from the waist of dominating UFC flyweight sensation Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson, Henry Cejudo called for a champion vs. champion fight with bantamweight champ TJ Dillashaw.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the UFC 227 post-fight press conference, Dillashaw responded to this ballsy callout from the new flyweight champion Henry Cejudo.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t really think the guy would deserve it,\u201d Dillashaw said of Cejudo’s call for a bantamweight title super fight (via MMAjunkie<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\u201cShoot, man, why don\u2019t we bring on Brock Lesnar?\u201d Dillashaw added jokingly.<\/p>\n

Dillashaw then elaborated on why he feels Henry Cejudo is getting a little ahead of himself. He referenced the flyweight champ’s recent decision loss to Joseph Benavidez, and addressed the possibility of a rematch between Cejudo and Johnson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, Joseph Benavidez just beat him,\u201d Dillashaw said. \u201cYeah, [Benavidez] lost a split decision to [Sergio] Pettis, but I didn\u2019t agree with that loss. So I think there\u2019s a lot of stuff there, and he\u2019s possibly got a trilogy with [Demetrious Johnson]. I\u2019m open to whatever, though. I\u2019m not stepping away from a challenge, that\u2019s for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

UFC President Dana White also addressed Cejudo’s callout of TJ Dillashaw. Like Dillashaw, he seemed a little hesitant with respect to this fight and admitted he’ll have to think about it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know what the fight to make is right now for these two, but we\u2019ll see,\u201d White said.<\/p>\n

Henry Cejudo is now 1-1 with the former champion Demetrious Johnson. He lost the first fight by first-round knockout, and won the second by split decision. Given that Johnson had previously defended the title 11-straight times, and that he’s far and away the biggest name in the flyweight division, the chances of an immediate rematch between the two would seem to very high.<\/p>\n

Does a bantamweight title fight between TJ Dillashaw and Henry Cejudo interest you?<\/p>\n
