UFC flyweight champion has weighed in on this potential bout.

Despite all of the drama of making this fight happen the first go around, the UFC and its President Dana White have finally received what they wanted which is Johnson vs. current bantamweight champ T.J. Dillashaw

White confirmed that Johnson’s next title defense would be against Dillashaw.

If you recall, earlier this year, Johnson and White frequently exchanged words. Johnson was not receptive to a fight with Dillashaw even though White and other UFC officials were pushing for it. White came out and mocked Johnson for taking it.

Johnson fired back and claimed that White threatened to shut down his entire division. White denied that and gave Johnson the fight he wanted, which was against Borg that is almost guaranteed to do low PPV numbers. Apparently, though, that’s water under the bridge.

White didn’t reveal 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 beat Sergio Pettis on the main card.

Johnson went on record by declaring he would need $2 million to agree to this bout. White balked at the demand.

After taking the bantamweight title from his rival Cody Garbrandt at UFC 217, Dillashaw renewed his call to move down in weight to challenge Johnson. The UFC flyweight champion turned down the potential fight a few months ago in favor of a record-breaking 11th title defense against Ray Borg in October.

“That’s what the UFC wants,” Johnson said during a recent interview with ESPN. “It’s the superfight everyone wants. I think TJ and I are both on board. We just want to make sure it’s on a stacked card. We want to make sure we can benefit from a good pay-per-view buy. I think I deserve it, and I think he deserves it.”

“I’d rather have somebody else [be the] main event, who is going to bring in way more PPVs,” Johnson said. “In my opinion, that’s held up the fight on my end.

”I’ve seen guys jump on [stacked] PPV cards and make $1.5 million, fighting an inferior opponent than who I’m about to fight. Me and TJ could fight on a smaller card and pull 275,000 buys, get an extra check for $75,000. My management told me, ‘You know what, we’ll hold out for a big event.’

”A lot of media and fans think that’s a way of turning down fights or ducking someone, but that’s a way of being a smart businessman and getting the most money you can get. ... I’ll wait for that opportunity, because in that one card, I’ll basically make more money than three fights -- a year and a half of my life -- [combined].”
