On Saturday night, in the main event of the UFC’s first-ever card on ESPN+<\/a>, UFC bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw will challenge flyweight champion Henry Cejudo in a bid to become one of the sport’s rare two-division<\/a> champions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apparently, however, winning two belts is only the primary goal for TJ Dillashaw. In the lead-up to this fight with Cejudo, Dillashaw has repeatedly mentioned that he’s interested in eventually moving up to the featherweight division <\/a>to battle local champ Max Holloway for a third<\/em>\u00a0UFC belt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWould I move up to 145 [pounds]? Absolutely, man,\u201d TJ Dillashaw said on a recent Instagram<\/a> live video. \u201cI would love to. I\u2019m a professional. I train hard. Making \u201925s has been a process in its own\u2026 To get my body down there and do it the right way. \u201945s would have to be the same thing, it would be a lot of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRight now I\u2019m in love with food because I don\u2019t get to eat as much of it. If I went \u201945s I\u2019d hate it because I\u2019d be doing nothing but stuffing my face but that\u2019s definitely something I would love to do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surprisingly, UFC President Dana White seems pretty interested in this idea from TJ Dillashaw. The UFC boss shared his thoughts on this potentiality on Get Up!<\/a><\/em> on ESPN<\/a>,\u00a0giving Dillashaw props for his ambition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“He’s talking about moving up to 145 pounds to fight Max Holloway,” Dana White said of TJ Dillashaw. “Max Holloway is so much bigger than him… It’s pretty crazy, but impressive. I like his style. I like what he’s thinking. He’d be the first three-belt champion if he could pull that off.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While White seems interested in this possibility, however, he understands why Dillashaw’s three-title goal has drawn the ire Henry Cejudo, who will be not be willing to give up his flyweight belt without a fight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“[Cejudo] said it again yesterday, man,” White said. “‘[Cejudo said] ‘stop looking through me, you’re looking through me, it’s a big mistake.’ I don’t think Dillashaw is looking through him. Dillashaw’s been around for a long time, he knows Cejudo is tough.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you think we’ll see TJ Dillashaw fighting Max Holloway for a third belt in the future?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
