Should Demetrious Johnson Fight TJ Dillashaw
6. No – DJ Is Promoting Himself Right Now Better Than Ever
UFC 212 was probably the most newsworthy show of 2017 so far. Yet 48 hours later, the topic on everyone’s lips was Demetrious Johnson and his open feud with the promotion. His appearance on the MMA Hour on Monday with Ariel Helwani went viral. For the first time ever, Demetrious Johnson is the most talked about fighter in mixed martial arts.
Max Holloway defeated Jose Aldo two days prior at UFC 212 in an amazing performance via third round TKO, but it’s on the back burner right now. DJ is the biggest news in MMA at present, and it's safe to say that's never been the case before. He didn't hold back either, revealing that UFC threatened to shut the entire division if he doesn't take this fight. The state of play right now is that DJ has called their bluff. It'll be very interesting to see what happens next. This story could go in a variety of different directions.
