#2 TJ Dillashaw vs. Marlon Moraes
After his devastating loss to Henry Cejudo at 125lbs, all the talk right now - from the UFC’s point of view at least – seems to be about UFC Bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw rematching his most recent foe at 135lbs with his title on the line. But would that really be fair, and is it really the fight that most fans want?
I don’t think it is. That’s because Dillashaw has a red-hot contender already at 135lbs, and his name is Marlon Moraes. The former WSOF champion debuted with the UFC back in 2017 and suffered a disappointing loss to Raphael Assuncao, but since then he’s reeled off 4 impressive wins in a row.
Top contenders John Dodson, Aljamain Sterling, Jimmie Rivera and Assuncao in a rematch have all fallen at the hands of Moraes, and in violent fashion to boot. Right now nobody else – including Henry Cejudo – really has a claim to a Bantamweight title match more than ‘Magic’, and if the UFC has any sense of fairness, they’d make this fight as soon as possible. The striking exchanges alone would be incredible to watch.
