Mae Rich Bergeron yn agor sioe FNU Combat Sports yr wythnos hon trwy roi ei sylw unigryw ar y Demetrious “Llygoden Fawr” Johnson ffiw gyda phres UFC, sef Dana White. Wedi gwrthod ymladd â T.J.. Dillashaw heb fodloni rhai sicrwydd ac amodau, mynnodd llawer o gefnogwyr ar gyfryngau cymdeithasol fod DJ yn rhedeg yn ofnus. Manteisiodd hyd yn oed Dillashaw ar y cyfle i ffrwydro'r symudiad gan y champ pwysau plu fel “cyw ieir.” Roedd Dana White hyd yn oed wedi bygwth cau'r adran pwysau plu cyfan i lawr pe bai Johnson yn gwrthod ymladd TJ. “Llygoden Fawr” wnaethon nhw ddim blincio ac nid oedden nhw wedi ogofâu i ofynion y sefydliad, ac mae Rich yn egluro yn ei ddeialog agoriadol pam y dylid parchu DJ a rhoi budd yr amheuaeth iddo am ei benderfyniad yn hytrach na chael ei feirniadu a'i lusgo trwy'r mwd am sefyll i fyny drosto'i hun.
