#2 TJ Dillashaw vs. Henry Cejudo

They call him
They call him "Killashaw" for a reason

Yet again, we seem to have chanced upon a pivotal matchup which could come to fruition at either of two weight classes. In this case, current UFC Bantamweight Champion TJ Dillashaw and reigning Flyweight title-holder Henry Cejudo could face one another either at 135 or 125 pounds.

The fight is likely to be announced sooner rather than later--with the duo rumored to do the tango inside the Octagon either later this year or in early-2019.

Dillashaw is a master in the realm of combat-specific movement, as evidenced by his consecutive KO/TKO victories over heavy-handed KO specialist Cody "No Love" Garbrandt. Dillashaw has previously stated that he's open to either defending his Bantamweight title against Cejudo, or move down to Flyweight and fight for the latter's belt.

Dillashaw is considered to be the better striker of the two, while Cejudo may have a slight edge in the wrestling department. The former may have the size advantage, especially if their fight takes place at 135, whereas Cejudo likely has a small margin of extra zing so to speak as regards speed.

It'd be safe to say that the MMA community is indeed very much looking forward to this fantastic clash of titans in the smaller weight classes.
