Quote: Cejudo Deserves 135-Pound Title Fight If Dillashaw Misses Weight

Henry Cejudo’s trainer Eric Albarracin believes the flyweight king deserves a bantamweight title fight if T.J. Dillashaw misses weight for their main event fight this Saturday (Jan. 19, 2019) night at UFC on ESPN+ 1. Dillashaw will look to become a “double champ” as he takes on Cejudo for the 125-pound strap.

Dillashaw will look to become a “double champ” as he takes on Cejudo for the 125-pound strap. However, “Killashaw” must first make weight. And if pictures really are worth 1,000 words then Dillashaw could be having a heck of a time cutting all that extra weight.

If Dillashaw does tip the scales north of the flyweight title fight limit (125 lbs) the title cannot change hands. However, Albarracin insists Cejudo will be fighting on Saturday regardless. And if Dillashaw does miss weight, Albarracin believes an immediate bantamweight title fight should await Cejudo.

“We’re fighting regardless,” said Albarracin on a recent edition of Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show. “I tell you what, if TJ don’t make weight, he better put his belt on the line. If TJ wants to come down and take Henry’s gold medal off his neck, if he don’t make weight, he better put his belt on the line. Last time I saw, Bantamweight is 126 to 135. So if he is 126, put your belt on the line.”

It should be noted that Dillashaw comes from a wrestling background where weight cutting is a prolific practice. On top of that “Killashaw” has never missed weight as a professional MMA fighter, and has indicated several times that he can make 125 pounds in his sleep.

Joseph Benavidez is on standby as the UFC’s plan B. He will be taking on Dustin Ortiz on the main card of the same event.

There’s a real possibility that TJ Dillashaw might not be the man standing across the cage from Henry Cejudo in Brooklyn.

Currently, the UFC flyweight champion is set to defend his title against 135-pound champion TJ Dillashaw on January 19th. Dillashaw is attempting to become the fourth-ever “Champ Champ” in UFC history. However, there’s some concern that Dillashaw might not make weight. Dillashaw needs to cut down to 125 pounds, 10 pounds less than where he usually fights.

Should Dillashaw not make weight for the bout, Cejudo will be opting to challenge another flyweight. That’s according to the champion’s manager, Ali Abdelaziz, who spoke to MMA Fighting recently. Should Dillashaw miss weight, Abdelaziz says that Cejudo will opt to fight Joseph Benavidez instead, who is competing on the UFC on ESPN+ 1 main card:

“I don’t think T.J.’s going to make weight and if he misses weight by .1 pounds, Joseph Benavidez is going to fight, we’re going to give Joseph a shot,” Abdelaziz said.

“Because I personally don’t think he’ll make it. If he makes it, he’s going to be weak, fragile, and he’s going to have a long, long night with the champ. He’s a good fighter, but he can’t fight at the pace Henry’s going to fight him at 125. He doesn’t have the speed to fight Henry.”

Currently, Benavidez is slated to face Dustin Ortiz in Brooklyn. Should he make championship weight, and Dillashaw not make weight, he could get a shot at the 125-pound title. Cejudo and Benavidez have shared the Octagon before. Benavidez took a controversial split decision win over Cejudo back in December of 2016.

Manager: Cejudo Won’t Fight Dillashaw If He Misses Weight

The “Champ Champ” trend in the UFC continues. It started with Conor McGregor’s capture of the featherweight and lightweight titles. Daniel Cormier followed by capturing both the light heavyweight and heavyweight belts. Now, Amanda Nunes holds both the UFC women’s bantamweight and featherweight titles. Of course, Nunes is the only champion at the moment who […]
