Demetrious Johnson Says Dana White Rejected $1M Demand for TJ Dillashaw Superfight

Former flyweight champion Johnson explained why his proposed fight with Dillashaw never happened, recalling, “I’m looking for that super fight.” When White suggested Dillashaw, Johnson replied, “Pay me a million dollars.” White answered, “I can’t pay what you don’t bring in.” The fight collapsed despite interest, leaving a rare champion-versus-champion matchup unrealized during their UFC title reigns at that time.
