Few people work closer with T.J. Dillashaw than coach Duane Ludwig, and “Bang” sees little in the way of the UFC bantamweight champion becoming the man to halt the historic run of Demetrious Johnson.
Dillashaw has been gunning for a shot at the UFC’s seemingly indomitable flyweight king for months, but one question surrounding the potential superfight is whether Dillashaw can make the 125-lb limit given that he’s never competed in a division lighter than bantamweight.
Ludwig appeared on The MMA Hour on Monday to endorse the clash of champions and provide assurance that Dillashaw would be able to make the drop.
