The bantamweight kingdom is currently without a ruler — in the wake of T.J. Dillashaw announcing his own ‘adverse’ USADA finding and subsequently relinquishing his title — and that means the field is now wide open for the division’s top contenders.
Marlon Moraes. Pedro Munhoz. Aljamain Sterling. Those are three of the names being bandied about to potentially compete for the vacant 135-pound title, but flyweight champion Henry Cejudo has also thrown his hat into the ring. Cejudo defended his own title against Dillashaw at UFC Brooklyn earlier this year, winning by knockout in just 32 seconds, and he’s been looking to fight Dillashaw again, only next time for Dillashaw’s belt.
