If D.J. beats Wilson Reis in April that makes 10 title straight defenses, one away from breaking Anderson Silva's UFC record.
So Cody Garbrandt is now asking UFC management to allow him to go from bantamweight champion to flyweight contender, if he defeats Dillashaw this summer, to prevent Mighty Mouse from getting the record 11th title defense.
Odds the UFC allows this to happen? Slim to none, IMO. But it's one D.J. fight that I would watch!

MM by anything he wants.
Wow that'd be awesome
Fuck. I'm in
Do a 130 lb catch weight. So doesn't fuck up either division. No belt on the line
Steve Iceman Little -No way, I'd expect that to be a competitive fight.MM by anything he wants.
I'd pay to see it.
Vikingknee -I'd prefer this.Do a 130 lb catch weight. So doesn't fuck up either division. No belt on the line
MM will probably ask for $5 million. I don't see it happening.
I think Cody wins that fight. He has the wrestling to keep it standing and the boxing footwork to finish it. DJ would need to get him down and wear on him or maybe work submissions. But i think Cody would be hard to keep down or get down. Cruz has perfectly timed takedowns a la Mizugaki and he couldn't get Cody down. Great fight though. Would definitely be a ppv seller with 2 champs fighting.
mm gets slept
he wont beat tj so it doesnt matter.
After all the jabber about MM only going up for a "money fight for 2 million dollars", Garbrandt has said fuck it, he will come down there and get him instead, interesting.
That's a mighty mouse fight I would be excited for
It would be good for mm brand if he wins.
do it now!
Attila -You act like mighty mouse one of the best in the world, if not the best in the world doesn't deserve a big pay day for a real super fight.MM will probably ask for $5 million. I don't see it happening.
zackthewop - he wont beat tj so it doesnt matter.

I am amped for the Cody/T.J. fight. It will show whether Cody and TAM can gameplan perfectly for more than just Cruz at the top level of the division. They should be fully aware of Dillishaw's tendencies and flaws. But the only way we'll know for sure is in the cage.

Deserve has nothing to do with it. He puts up atrocious PPV numbers and Garbrandt doesn't have name recognition either. It would be stupid for the UFC to spend so much money on a superfight that wouldn't even be a big draw. You disagree?
