I'm not mad. I just wish MM had a viable contender at 125lbs.
Cruz probably injured again, Garbrandt already got knocked out by TJ, those are the top 2 guys in the division, he already schooled assuncao, only guy left is Rivera and who has he beat?You're missing out if you think 135 is stale.
Mighty mouse wouldnt be able to breathe if i sat on him. 317 lbs of pure american bred muscle. Deal with itBecause he's like 3 feet tall and can stomp them.
I think the difference would be DJ has no more real challenges at his own weight class. He can keep beating the same guys but that doesn't move the needle for anyone. TJ should be getting more crap for going after a smaller guy but DJ likes to call himself the P4P best so it's hard to talk crap on TJ for wanting to fight arguably the best P4P guy. Tyron hasn't cleared out his own division and wants to fight someone smaller than him just to get paid. If Tyron said he wanted to fight Romero or Whitaker I don't see anyone giving him a hard time.Same old double standard shit on sherdog. If Tyron wants a fight with Conor, people bitch at Tyron. If TJ wants to fight Dj, people bitch at DJ. What's the science behind that??
A) DJ fought at BW for 5 years (2007-2012). You could argue he went down to beat on smaller dudes, right? I mean if TJ is...
B) It's only a ten pound difference, ya fucking goof. It's not like a HW calling out a LHW or MW.
C) Stop white knighting the manlet.
D) It's time for him to fight some legit competition.
If TJ makes 125, he is fighting a 125 fighter, like Reis, Borg, Joe B(former 135 title contender, so I am not sure the weight argument here if TJ makes 125), etc.
TJ has no clear #1 contender, which is why there was a fight lined up with Cruz and Rivera and Cruz bailed, so now Rivera needs a new #1 contender fight. Cody sure as hell doesn't deserve a title shot after getting KTFO in his last fight by TJ. Assuncao should be fighting Rivera for #1 contender. To sum things up, there is no #1 contender.
He should call out Holloway? The guy with the clear cut #1 contender in Ortega and before that, Edgar? The guy who isn't the #1 p4p fighter in MMA? That is a terrible argument.

Who said TJ was the #1 contender? Where did I specifically say TJ was the #1 contender? THERE IS NO #1 CONTENDER.How is TJ the number one FLW contender? He's never competed at that weight in any discipline. Even Conor had the good grace to go up in weight to get a shot he didn't deserve.
He doesn't challenge himself . Prefers to coast in comfort and wants to be recognized for doing something spectacular. He's so fundamentally sound, it gets stale to watch.
Lost and is staying where he can implement his boring effective style
Don't really care enough about the guy to explain constantly, just an obvious answer on why he couldn't sell out a local civic center

LOL, there are no contenders in his division, Garbrandt got spanked without a single successful title defence, Cruz has been out for like a year AGAIN, Rivera is the only guy and honestly who wants to see that fight over DJ? DJ is just being a drama queen and bitching out
Sooo, all the guys in TJ's division deserve a shot at MM before TJ? RIiiiiiiight.All of the top 10 at BW make more sense then TJ getting a title shot in a division he has never even competed in before.

What are you da fuq Chris rocking me for. You said all the bw top10 makes more sense, when we are talking about a #1 contender for DJ..... He fights at FLW so maybe you should use that image on yourself.
How about all the fighters at 125lbs deserve a shot at DJ before TJ.
Get a fucking win at 125lbs first and EARN the shot.
Winning > Boring
1. What does this have to do with the topic at hand?Why did he drop to 125 then after he lost to Cruz?
idk if you can criticize dillashaw for calling out who is no doubt the #1 P4P fighter in mma today and possibly the GOAT for a chance to be champ champ. Pretending jimmie rivera or garbrandt is a bigger challenge than DJ is foolish.
