If If the UFC thinks that’s the fight that makes sense. We’ll be willing to fight him or anyone else,” he added.

“I’m like, I say I’m not looking for the point of judging him for anything. When he got off of the game, he was a champion. So him coming back- I think they’re going to give him a big name or a big fight,” said ‘The Young Punisher’.

Is Pedro Munhoz vs T.J. Dillashaw the fight to make?

Dillashaw will look to get a worthy opponent upon his return to the Octagon after being suspended for two years. Munhoz is a top-class bantamweight. He certainly fits the bill as a worthy opponent. Also, he has the required name value as well and Dillashaw will have his hands full.
