T.J. Dillashaw tells Gervonta Davis to ‘ask daddy Mayweather’ for permission to take UFC fight

The reigning, defending UFC bantamweight champion, T.J. Dillashaw has no shortage of opponents lining up for their shot at him.

Newly crowned flyweight champ Henry Cejudo is angling for a superfight, old rival Dominick Cruz looms as a potential foil, and several other contenders at 135 pounds are jockeying for position.

But the past week has seen a new challenger emerge, at least in the realm of social media.

Super featherweight boxing champion Gervonta Davis must have been paying attention to Dillashaw’s successful title defense against Cody Garbrandt at UFC 227, because the next day he issued a challenge to Dillashaw, though he did so without actually naming him.
