Filed under: News , UFC DETROIT – UFC President Dana White said flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson ’s next title defense will be against current bantamweight champ T.J. Dillashaw . “Yeah, that fight’s going to happen,” White told reporters at the post-event press conference for UFC 218, which took place Saturday at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit. “We haven’t announced it yet.” White didn’t say when and where the fight would take place, or whether he’d yet spoken to Johnson, who was in attendance at the pay-per-view event. Johnson watched cageside as his former opponent, Henry Cejudo, halted the rise of promising up-and-comer Sergio Pettis. Johnson has repeatedly hedged on a “superfight” with a bantamweight champ, declaring he would need $2 million to agree to it.
