UFC bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw will be the one who wanders into the other champion’s territory when he challenges flyweight titleholder Henry Cejudo on Saturday night.
But the two-time 135-pound champion doesn’t seem too concerned what Cejudo will bring to the cage when they meet in the main event of UFC on ESPN+ at the Barclays Center in the New York City borough of Brooklyn.
While Dillashaw acknowledged Monday at a media day in Los Angeles that Cejudo put on an impressive performance when he earned a split decision to win the 125-pound belt from longtime titleholder Demetrious Johnson at UFC 227, Dillashaw said his opponent is neither a dangerous fighter nor an interesting one.
