LOS ANGELES – We’ve been talking about a superfight featuring Demetrious Johnson for a while, but post UFC 227, could it finally come to fruition? If you ask Johnson (27-2-1 MMA, 15-1-1 UFC), the only flyweight champion in UFC history and the owner of the record for most consecutive title defenses in promotional history, it’s not really something worth thinking about. Johnson on Saturday fights Henry Cejudo (12-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC) in a rematch for his 125-pound title in the UFC 227 co-main event. In the headlining bout, bantamweight champ T.J. Dillashaw (15-3 MMA, 11-3 UFC) has a rematch against heated rival Cody Garbrandt (11-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) – and the talk is that the bantamweight winner might drop to flyweight to challenge Johnson for his belt, assuming he beats Cejudo and continues to clear out the division.
