Jimmie Rivera Challenges T.J. Dillashaw To Bantamweight Title Bout

Jimmie Rivera wants a shot at T.J. Dillashaw and the UFC bantamweight title. Rivera challenged Dillashaw on Tuesday to a title fight via Twitter. You can see his posts below.

Rivera is calling out UFC 219 as a date for the fight, which takes place on December 30th. That fight lost a main event between Rivera and Dominick Cruz after Cruz had to bow out due to injury.

Saw @TJDillashaw interview on @MMAFighting . @UrijahFaber is the reason you got into MMA,@ufc and won a title. Then you leave. I have an old school Martial Arts upbringing and loyalty is huge. I looked up to Urijah as a legend and beat him, I'll whoop your ass 10 times worse.

I need someone for Dec 30th and @ufc needs a main event! Lets go @TJDillashaw. You only fought for 7 and a half minutes, I know you're in shape and healthy. Step up and stop trying to run down to 125.
