Joseph Benavidez reveals how he tore his ACL and timeline for return to the UFC

T.J. Dillashaw is not happy with flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson after he released a statement on Monday explaining why he wasn’t on board for a fight between the two of them.

Johnson’s statement was mostly aimed at the UFC for what he called “despicable” mistreatment while trying to bully him into accepting the fight with Dillashaw in August.

Johnson raised concerns that Dillashaw had never fought at 125-pounds before and wouldn’t make weight. Johnson then asked for financial concessions in return if Dillashaw failed to make the flyweight limit, but the UFC refused.

Now Dillashaw has responded by taking a direct shot at Johnson while blasting the longest reigning champion in UFC history for not accepting the fight with him.
