Jonathan Martinez picks T.J. Dillashaw to dethrone Aljamain Sterling, but doesn’t see him defending the title

Jonathan Martinez has a close eye on UFC 280.

The rising UFC bantamweight will be paying close attention to what goes down on Saturday’s UFC pay-per-view in Abu Dhabi. Not only is it one of the most stacked events of the year, but it also hosts a pair of 135-pound contests that hold plenty of significance for the division.

In the co-main event of the card, champion Aljamain Sterling attempts to defend his belt against ex-champ T.J. Dillashaw. And Martinez (17-4 MMA, 8-3 UFC) thinks there’s going to be a new king at the top of the weight class.
