I feel like DJ is being partly honest in that tweet but just trying to play what few cards he has to get a bigger payday finally. DJ vs TJ is a big deal. If they're willing to pay then I'm sure he's willing to fight.
No, I think DJ is correct in this case. It's not like TJ was a dominating champ, or a champ. If you're a champ of the division and move up/down, sure you deserve a immediate title shot but TJ's not. If he's going to new division he should fight someone first in the division.
Not sure it's that... Funny, I was watching a recent episode of TTTHS and they did it about this fight. As goofy as that shit is, they made a great point.... If TJ fights and beats Cody, THEN fights DJ, it's the big payday super fight (that million dollar payout). Right now all TJ is doing is jumping the line at 125, and DJ is right.... Come down and beat someone at that weight first then challenge for the title.
So he should continue fighting guys that arent in his league. Who the fuck is gonna pay to watch DJ vs Borg lol. DJ vs TJ is actually an intriguing fight and DJ will earn more money.
Which line are we talking about? He has flogged everyone.
The UFC for the last few years has been tricking fighters into fights by announcing them before contacting fighters. See many of Nate Diaz's tweets for about 1,000 examples lol....
I agree DJ vs TJ is way intriguing but cutting in line is still cutting in line. It's the same case regardless of which division these things happen at. TJ will most likely beat some contender at 125, get his title shot. If he loses, then he didn't deserve it in the first place. Plus, like someone above mentioned, both DJ and TJ will make way more money if TJ was the 135 champ, then came down to fight for the 125 strap.
You're correct in your feeling that there's not much of a line, but Borg has earned his shot at DJ (It may be a fools journey, but a journey he's earned the right to take).
@Joemacka, but he's spot on here.
