UFC President Dana White recently stated that he wants to have UFC Flyweight Champion Demetrious Johnson defend the gold against former UFC Bantamweight Champion TJ Dillashaw at UFC 215.
Dillashaw was originally set to fight UFC Bantamweight Champion Cody Garbrandt at UFC 213, but the fight was canceled after the champion suffered a back injury.
The plan set by the UFC President may not be followed by the flyweight champion, who took to Twitter to state who he wants to defend the title against, while also offering Dillashaw a little advice.
Just so the world know I haven't agreed to anything still waiting on my contract to fight @tazmexufc not @TJDillashaw if he wants a title

Shot he can come to flyweight and get a win then get his turn

In response to what the champion wrote, the potential challenger in Dillashaw put a poll up to see who the fans want to see Johnson fight, either himself or Ray Borg.
Would you rather see @MightyMouseUFC headline Seattle and fight Me or @tazmexufc ?

As of this writing, the former bantamweight champion was leading the vote by a large margin.
Borg also took to Twitter himself to say he either wants a shot at the flyweight champion or just a fight in general.

No matter who gets the next title shot, there is a lot of drama in the UFC Flyweight Division right now.
