It's stupid. It's not really a big fight. No one cares about Cejudo, and TJ isn't exactly a big name either. TJ vs Cruz is a bigger money fight than TJ vs Cejudo if you ask me. Cejudo has zero title defences, and he only won the title via split decision, so it's hard to even argue that's he's the definitive best Flyweight in the world right now. TJ has only defended the belt once since winning it for the second time, and that defence was against the same guy he won it from. Neither TJ nor Cejudo deserve a so-called 'superfight' in the first place, not when there are plenty of challengers in their respective divisions for them to face already. It's not like they're both long-reigning dominant champions, in fact, neither of them are. This all isn't helped by the fact that TJ is actually going down in weight, to a weight class that is rumoured to be getting axed. If he wins, it just seems like he went down to pick on the little guy. When Conor won the second belt, he had gone up in weight, and when DC won the second belt, he went up in weight too. But rather than Cejudo moving up, TJ is moving down. There's something about that that doesn't sit quite right with me.
TJ vs DJ would have been an entirely different story, but this is stupid.
