Amidst reports this week that the UFC plans to shut down the men’s flyweight division, it’s being reported that bantamweight champ, TJ Dillashaw, will move down and challenge 125 champ Henry Cejudo in January.

ESPN is reporting sources have informed the outlet that Dillashaw and Cejudo will fight at the January 26th, UFC 233 card in Anaheim, California. It’s not known whether this could be the final, flyweight title fight.

Cejudo (13-2) ended Demetrious Johnson’s historic reign as champion in August, by defeating the renowned fighter via split decision.

Dillashaw (16-3) also fought in August and defended the 135 belt by stopping Cody Garbrandt.
