May 23, 2017 | Posted by Jeremy Thomas

T.J. Dillashaw reportedly has a new opponent after his match with Cody Garbrandt was scratched. Brett Okamoto reported on ESPN SportsCenter (via MMAjunkie) that the UFC is targeting a Dillashaw vs. Demetrious Johnson fight for this August. The fight has not yet been confirmed by the UFC and it appears as if nothing has been signed yet.

Garbrandt was set to face Dillashaw at UFC 213 but suffered a back injury, which has resulted in the fight being pulled form the show. UFC 213 takes place on July 8th in Las Vegas.
