Money Talks: Demetrious Johnson Open to Fight Against Winner of Dillashaw-Garbrandt at UFC 227



UFC 227 is now available on Amazon Prime.

Ultimate Fighting Championship flyweight ace Demetrious Johnson wants the winner of Saturday night’s bantamweight title fight between T.J. Dillashaw and Cody Garbrandt, but only if the money is right. Both Dillashaw and Garbrandt have expressed great interest in dropping down a weight class in an effort to dethrone the flyweight king, however “Mighty Mouse” is only game if the UFC shows him the big bucks.

Johnson of course will have to get past Henry Cejudo again at UFC 227 on Saturday, right before the two bantamweights battle it out in the main event. But if “Mighty Mouse” dispatches Cejudo like he did the first time they fought in 2016, a superfight with either Dillashaw or Garbrandt is absolutely in the cards:

“Obviously, if the money's right. I've always had an interest in it. If the money's right, then we'll make it happen,” Johnson told TMZ.

“Mighty Mouse” was asked earlier in the week about a fight with the bantamweight champion by two-time world champion Daniel Cormier, but insisted he wouldn’t be interested if he wasn’t standing to earn the kind of money Cormier did in his title-winning performance against former heavyweight titlist Stipe Miocic last month.

Dillashaw has accused the flyweight kingpin of ducking him, but DJ says the money just wasn’t right at the time.

Depending on how UFC 227 plays out, fight fans could be in store for another superfight between two world champions.
