UFC flyweight contender John Dodson has never been afraid to speak his mind. So when it comes to his upcoming title fight with champ Demetrious Johnson, bold claims about the rightful title holder – not to mention where Dodson’s groin protector might end up – shouldn’t be a surprise.

“I don’t hate Demetrious Johnson, but I hate the fact that he has something that belongs to me and that I should have already,” Dodson said at a recent media luncheon to promote the pair’s UFC 191 headliner. “That belt is mine, and this is a false king that everyone is putting up for the pound-for-pound champion. He’s No. 3 and he could possibly move up to No. 2, and he’s doing such amazing things, but I’ve shut him down, and I’ve shut guys above our weight class down, as well.

“T.J. Dillashaw, I’ve already destroyed him, and he’s talking about how he should be up on the pound-for-pound list. These guys are all just frustrating me and it’s bothering me because I’m better than both of them.”

Dodson (17-6 MMA, 6-1 UFC) and Dillashaw (12-2 MMA, 8-2 UFC) met in 2011 on The Ultimate Fighter 14 Finale. In a bantamweight matchup to determine the season’s tournament winner, Dodson scored a spectacular first-round knockout victory.

Dodson would go on to drop to 125 pounds, while Dillashaw is now the UFC’s 135-pound champion.

Meanwhile, Dodson and Johnson (22-2-1 MMA, 10-1-1 UFC) first met in January 2013, and “The Magician” had several successful moments, but “Mighty Mouse” ultimately cruised to a decision win.

Consider Dodson unimpressed, and he happily breaks down the two champions’ flaws, including a claim that Johnson “isn’t an amazing wrestler” and that at UFC 191, “Mighty Mouse” will have a “large cup in his mouth that’s going to hit him as soon as he makes that double leg.”
