the double champ dream status destroyed TJ's career

[Rayess]

He was on the path of being Bantamweight GOAT.
Then he took that Henry fight that he should have never take... EPO, TKO, injury, surgery etc...

His image, body and mental took a big dive after that fight.
When we look at his skills, he could have dominate Sterling (he would have never been a champ with an active TJ), I think in his prime he would demolish O'Malley/Vera/Munoz
If he stayed active in BW, he could have rematch Cruz and get his loss back etc...

Anyway, crazy to see such a talent finishing his career this way.
Never liked his vibe outside of the cage but damn.... what a threat to watch him fight and Airport shadowbox.

He would've take an L soon. Be it Cejudo or Usada.

 

[Paolo Delutis]

Just another victim of the Conor effect ....

Said to see indeed

Im just glad Dan Henderson didnt let being the first simultaneous Double Champ in the UFC go to his head

Did they give Silva and Jackson new pride belts to unify or Dan’s. I’ve always wondered that.

TJs a douche so I’m ok with it

 

[Clark Rogers]

Pretty accurate imo, although I think TJ would've eventually popped for something whether he took that fight or not.

I always go back to that one video of him and his "supplement" shelf. Second I saw that I thought this guy is gonna pop for something eventually.

Wasn't even a direct accusation at the time, more like no way he's taking THAT many supplements without at least one being tainted.

Nice troll ...

TJ Dillashaw = a Warrior

Perhaps a snake, and a cheater, too — but a warrior.

It is sad, but (at the end of the day) TJ Dillashaw was the author of his own misfortune.

To think that he only took EPO for the Henry Cejudo fight is either ignorant, disingenuous or means you're uninformed. Even Cody Garbrandt called him out on it on the lead up to their fight.

Should've moved up to 145 instead of killing himself to make 125

Think he’s just too small for that. Sandhagen and aljo made him look small. He’s lucky cory wasn’t focusing on his wrestling at the time.

The standard operating procedure at that time was a new belt for each title win.

I doubt Hendo would give his belts up.

Dillasnake is a huge douche, a cheater, and he can go fuck himself

 

[Portland8242]

Because you're supposed to move up in weight in your 30's, not down in weight. Wtf was he honestly thinking about doing a cut he's never done before when he's 10+ years into his combat sports career.

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

nah, TJ's greatest accomplishment was beating Cody Garbrandt. i think Moraes would've folded TJ. the only way he's beating O'Malley is with his wrestling. O'Malley's size, speed, and accuracy would've been a problem for TJ striking.

 

[TriangleMonkey]

The 125 cut was pretty fucking bad

 

[JarlSkuld]

Double champ pursuit seems to hastily end most of MMA fighters' careers (who are able to achieve that). Thus, Nunes is GOAT.

Tj kicking game, boxing and power combined with the threat of the takedown would cause many problems for O'Malley

At least he admitted he cheated and took the consequences. Didn´t cry like a baby or escape through a back door during a TUF like some.
