TJ Dillashaw is hoping to lure Henry Cejudo out of retirement.<\/p>\n

In January of 2019, Dillashaw dropped down to flyweight to face Cejudo to try and become a champ-champ. Unfortunately for Dillashaw, the fight did not go his way as he was knocked out in 32 seconds and was then suspended for two years by USADA.<\/p>\n

Now that Dillashaw is eligible to return<\/a>, he says Cejudo is on his hit list for fighters he wants to face because he doesn’t believe “Triple C” is as good as he thinks.<\/p>\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t thought about a hit list exactly right, but yeah, he\u2019s (Henry Cejudo) on it,\u201d Dillashaw said during a recent episode of\u00a0Real Quick with Mike Swick <\/a>(via LowKickMMA<\/a>). \u201cJust you saying his name it\u2019s like, \u2018Oh god,\u2019 you know? \u2018The King of Cringe\u2019 did a good job of being cringy. It\u2019s one of those fights that I was so much better going into that fight \u2014 don\u2019t take anything away from him [though].<\/p>\n

“I think he\u2019s an amazing athlete for winning an Olympic gold medal,” Dillashaw continued. “I give him more credit for being an Olympic gold medalist than I do winning a UFC championship and that\u2019s something because I\u2019ve wrestled my whole life, that is quite amazing. But I\u2019m so much of a better fighter than him \u2014 well-rounded wise.”<\/p>\n

Not only does TJ Dillashaw think Henry Cejudo isn’t as god as he thinks, but he says Triple C got lucky in his career.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe way that his (Cejudo\u2019s) career worked out and the way that he stepped away from it was just like, he got so lucky,\u201d Dillashaw said. \u201cSo that\u2019s a fight that I want back because I don\u2019t think he\u2019s as good as he thinks he is, so that\u2019s for sure on my hit list. First and foremost, (the) hit list for me, is just getting my belt back. Whatever path I have to take to get there, if it\u2019s fighting all the guys in the top-five first, if it\u2019s going straight to the belt, and then making sure I defend it and make a statement.\u201c<\/p>\n
