Confirmed now. After this:

Mighty Mouse Gives Ray Borg Deadline For Title Fight | Fightful MMA
Johnson has set a deadline for when Borg would get that title shot and that deadline is going to be at UFC 216 this October.

"He's sick, it's just a little flu,”Johnson said to ESPN. “[UFC 216] is an option they gave me and I said, 'Sounds fine.' At the end of the day, they happen all the time. I've [postponed] a fight before. Now, if they call me and say Oct. 7th is not going to work, you need to push it longer -- I might just be done for the year. I'm not going to make it six or seven weeks. That's when injuries happen. Things accumulate."

If DJ handles Ray in convincing fashion, it sets up a compelling rematch with Cejudo.
And then he can move up and fight TJ or Cody.

Apart from 2 fights 216 was a shit card. Adding this fight makes it better.

Henry still ain't ready imo.

agreed, nobody at 125 is ready for DJ.
But I don't think DJ goes back to 125 if he has success at 135. But maybe the smart thing for Henry to do is wait for DJ to go up, and then establish himself as the BW champ for a few fights. The $$ is in championship fights, i'm sure Henry just wants a belt.
