TJ Dillashaw rips ‘cry baby’ Demetrious Johnson for being ‘too scared to fight’ him

T.J. Dillashaw is getting tired of hearing why Demetrious Johnson doesn’t want to fight him.

The former bantamweight champion was offered a fight against Johnson following an injury to Cody Garbrandt that cancelled their matchup at UFC 213, but as of now it doesn’t appear the bout will happen.

On Monday, Johnson released a lengthy statement taking aim at the UFC for “bullying” him into taking the fight with Dillashaw amidst a myriad of other reasons why he’s angry at the promotion for what he called “despicable” mistreatment.

Now Dillashaw has spoken out numerous times about the need for fighters to band together in an effort to receive better rights, more pay and other considerations from the promoters in mixed martial arts, but he says he’s not buying any of that as a reason why Johnson went on a tirade against the UFC.
