This Saturday, in the main event of the UFC’s first-ever card on ESPN+<\/a>, UFC bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw will take a trip south to the flyweight division, where he’ll battle local champ Henry Cejudo in a bid to become a two-division titleholder.<\/p>\n

Heading into this fight, both men would seem to have a clear list of advantages and disadvantages. While the wrestling advantage is widely believed to be in the corner of the Olympic wrestler Cejudo, however, TJ Dillashaw is confident he’ll be able to win the bout’s wrestling exchanges.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s gotten a lot better,\u201d Dillashaw said at Monday’s UFC on ESPN media day (via MMA Fighting<\/a>). \u201cI was impressed with his growth. But he\u2019s not like a dangerous fighter, he\u2019s a little more of a boring fighter. But he\u2019s smart, right? I think that\u2019s where I\u2019m going to pick him apart is that I\u2019m going to be able to put it all together.”<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t tell you exactly which way I\u2019m going to finish him, but my pressure is going to be too much,\u201d Dillashaw said. \u201cI\u2019m too well-rounded that I can take the fight anywhere, and he\u2019s going to want to fold. He doesn\u2019t have that competitive edge that I have.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to outwrestle him too. I am.\u201d<\/p>\n

TJ Dillashaw and Henry Cejudo both took their most recent steps into the Octagon at UFC 227 in August. On that night, Dillashaw defended his title with a first-round knockout his rival Cody Garbrandt. Cejudo, meanwhile, scored a massive upset victory, picking up a split decision win over long-time UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson.<\/p>\n

Who do you think will come out on top when TJ Dillashaw steps into the cage with Henry Cejudo on ESPN+ this weekend?<\/p>\n
