Flugviktsmästaren Demetrious Johnson (22-2-1-0) har fått mycket kritik för att vara en tråkig mästare och John Dodson (16-6) känner att han är flugviktens sista hopp.
Dodson kommer ta sig an Zach Makowsky (19-5) på UFC 178 och enligt Dodson så är det han som är flugviktsdivisionens sista hopp.
”We always thought it was going to be Ian McCall, but Ian McCall hasn’t been able to perform the way that he wants to. So I guess I can step up and say that I am the savior of the flyweight division. If everybody wants to have a last hope for [the division], it’d be me…
I notice when you guys bring me up to Demetrious Johnson or to T.J. Dillashaw, both of them get super butthurt about the fact that you guys ask them about fighting me. Demetrious had his toughest fight against me and he knows that he’ll have one again, another tough fight with me. I potentially could steal that title from him. And T.J. Dillashaw goes around telling everyone that when I fought him, it was a fluke, and that it never would happen again. I just keep on looking ahead, man. I’m going to be champion…
”I wouldn’t want to sit there saying, ‘what if I wasn’t champion?’ I just know that I’m going to be the champion, and that’s a fact I’m going to stay with. I’m going to go out there and bang it out with them dudes, and when I walk away with the championship, I’m going to let them know that we both knew this was going to happen.”
