Pedro Munhoz has earned a big name for himself after defeating elite bantamweights such as Cody Garbrandt, in his recent fight at UFC Vegas 20, he secured a unanimous decision against Jimmie Rivera.

After his fight he showed interested in getting shot at the big names in the division, he is also interested in fighting the former bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw.

He said, “I heard some rumors that T.J. Dillashaw is coming back. The possibility of fighting Marlon (Moraes) – it won’t happen so soon. Besides training partners, we became friends. We wouldn’t fight unless it was for the title.

“We also have so many big names out there in the mix that I want to fight. I think a fight with T.J. Dillashaw would make sense. T.J. Dillashaw is coming back. I heard some stuff that he’s coming back. I have nothing against him. I’m nobody to judge him or whatever. If the UFC thinks that fight makes sense, I would be willing to fight him or anyone else.”

Dillashaw’s USADA suspension ended in January and he was banned for using Recombinant Human Erythropoietin (EPO) and he relinquished his UFC 135-pound title soon after, now he is looking to take back what once belonged to him.

“I think he should fight the best in his return,” says Munhoz on Dillashaw’s return

Pedro Munhoz said that TJ should fight the best, he’s among the elites and he should be given a chance to take his title back, he said “I think he should fight the best in his return. I’m not looking to point and judge him for anything.”

“When he got off from the game, he was the champion. So, he’s coming back, I think they’re going to give him a big name or a big fight. I’ll be willing to fight anyone the UFC offers me.”
