Cejudo seemed particularly concerned about Dillashaw&#8217;s flyweight physique, and whether or not the bantamweight champ will hit the 125-pound flyweight limit for their Saturday night fight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPersonally, I think he looks like Pee-wee Herman if you ask me,\u201d Cejudo said of Dillashaw on Monday\u2019s edition of&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/-a7gsLX1qhY\" target=\"_blank\">The MMA Hour<\/a>&nbsp;(transcript via&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mmafighting.com\/2019\/1\/14\/18182500\/henry-cejudo-says-t-j-dillashaw-cutting-to-flyweight-looks-like-a-cross-country-runner\" target=\"_blank\">MMA Fighting<\/a>). \u201cIn the physique way, I really do feel like he looks like Pee-wee Herman. \u2026 I thought he\u2019d have a little more bulk to him, but I guess not. He\u2019s not looking so well. It looks like he needs a cup of water. He looks like a cross country runner.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking at the open workouts for their fight this week, TJ Dillashaw clapped back. He believes Henry Cejudo is just hoping he misses weight because he&#8217;s scared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s all of it,&#8221; he said (via <a href=\"https:\/\/mmajunkie.com\/2019\/01\/tj-dillashaw-henry-cejudo-shaking-in-boots-ufc-on-espn-1-plus-champion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"MMAjunkie (opens in a new tab)\">MMAjunkie<\/a>). &#8220;At first I was chasing Demetrious Johnson. Everyone was saying he\u2019s the greatest pound-for-pound fighter. That\u2019s my spot. I really believe that\u2019s my spot, so I was chasing it down. He wouldn\u2019t take the fight; Henry Cejudo wanted to call me out after (UFC 227). He said he was going to come up to \u201935 to fight me. We offered it to him. We asked him: \u2018Come to \u201935.\u2019 He turned it down. We knew he was scared. Now he\u2019s shaking in his boots that I\u2019m able to make the weight. He wants to come up with any excuse that I\u2019m going to miss it or I feel bad. \u2026 It\u2019s just all of it. (I\u2019m doing this because of) my legacy, second belt and being known as the greatest pound-for-pound fighter.\u201d<br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Who do you think will come out on top when Henry Cejudo and TJ Dillashaw collide for the flyweight title <a href=\"http:\/\/espn.zlbu.net\/c\/1359581\/566982\/9070\">on ESPN+&nbsp;this&nbsp;weekend?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This article first appeared on&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><em>BJPENN.COM<\/em><\/a><em>&nbsp;on 1\/17\/2019.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier this week, UFC flyweight champion Henry Cejudo made some rather hostile remarks about his next challenger, slimmed-down bantamweight champ TJ Dillashaw.
