To be honest, when it comes to 125lbs division, I was looking forward to see TJ Dillishaw vs Demetrious Johnson because it would be really fun to see the best 135er ever vs the best 125er ever, but hell, it is what it is... I'm not saying that TJ vs Cejudo is not fun, but it's not really intriguing.
So Henry Cejudo vs TJ Dillishaw... On paper this fight is really easy to predict - TJ wins! But in reality it's a little bit different because TJ had to cut a lot of weight and he looked like a zombie there on the press conference. He said that it was an easy weight cut but I don't believe him. He's got way better stand up skills than Cejudo but I'm not sure if he will manage to apply them as 125er. Is the one punch knock out power still there? We will see...

Cejudo on the other hand looked pretty damn jacked. His plan is pretty simple -wrestlefuck TJ for five rounds and become the champ. All he needs to do is wear out TJ in the boring old fashion and avoid any stand up because he will get KTFOed if he gets cocky on the feet (like Cody Garbrandt).
But here's a tricky part: Cejudo needs to win in a spectacular way if he wants to see 125 division still alive because that will maybe get people more interested in 125ers. But Cejudo is a boring wrestler so we will hear a lot of boo's, so basically it's a paradox.

I have no idea how to predict this fight but one thing is for sure: 125lbs division is history unless some miracle happens!
