How GOOD was TJ Dillashaw Actually?

Is the ITP channel abandoned?

Would it be crazy to say that when he started beating everyone is when EPO Dillashaw was born?

I just wish he retired getting koed 😔

The only reason USADA would have tested him for EPO was if they knew about it in advance. Supposedly Jon Jones cut a deal with USADA to assist them and it also allowed him to fight at UFC 232. The next month TJ tests positive.

He’s 100 percent the greatest bantamweight fighter of all time. EPO? Who cares. Highly doubt there’s any fighter who hasn’t at least messed a little with the stuff for a brutal cut. TJ was unbeatable for a long time. Why is he disgraced when Jon Jones still widely respected ?

Loving the new vids Kiiyon! Keep it going 🙌🙌🙌🙌

100% agreed

I will never understand how they give rematches!! I get how barao got an immediate remath, even he got smoked bad!! But then not giving tj one after a split decision loss, but then giving no love a rematch after a tko loss on his 1st defense!!??🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

My favorite fighting style ever in MMA, nobody like him

I highly respect your opinion of considering Dom as the bw goat. I couldnt agree more

I'll always contend that this guy had a better claim to BW GOAT than Cruz. Barao racked up a 30 fight win streak and was still stupidly called INTERIM champion because out of respect for Cruz who hadn't fought for over 3 years at that point. His footwork and striking that he developed in the middle of his career, with no background in striking, is still awe-inspiring to see develop. To see a fighter go from okay raw talent with wrestling pedigree to an elite MMA striker with a mesmerizing brutal style. Something special

It's always a shame when a fighter gets in their own way.

TJ was great. No doubt about it. But in the end, steroids essentially cancels it all out

Should've just blamed the EPO on those gas station dick pills.

I see so much disrespect on TJ now. People forgot that he did capture gold twice. When he was at his peak he was something else.

I REALLLY HOPE T.J finds a way to fix that shoulder man because I think a healthy t.j (after using peptides to heal for a few years) would give Sean Omalley- Merab- Sandhagen again tough matchups. MMA with Dillashaw is just a better place. Because we all love a good bad guy

Just to 100% factual yes tj got a nasty cut vs sandhagen but he also completely tore his knee (acl) in the first or second round of that fight. Also sandhagen was also a former teammate with dillashaw

Haven't seen the video but TJ was as good as he will be this January 2024 now that USADA is out

Killashank dollar dollar dillashaw

By far one of the most entertaining fighters ever

Always thought he was overrated even before he was exposed. A fighter needs a certain longevity to be called a goat

His eyelids are getting smashed together. Damn things seem not to want to be open any longer.

If Cody didn't allow his emotions to cost him defending his belt.

Crazy how TJ was so early in his ufc career relatively speaking when he dominated Barao. He was only coming off one win against a guy on a 3 loss streak. Absolutely crazy. TJ vs Barao is bigger upset than Strickland vs Izzy.

It sucks he’s just remembered as the guy who cheated cause he owned up to it and didn’t try to make an excuse. Meanwhile guys like Jon jones can pop multiple times, suga Sean popped twice, Anderson popped, and the list goes on but because they all decided to make excuses it’s just swept under the rug

If you take away steroids, not good

Anything TJ does in the sport will always have an asterisk next to it.

If one failed P E. D test is enough to pull him from goat discussions why is 5 time failed ped user Jones still in the conversation?

He was a cheat his whole career and now that he’s free to cheat as much as he wants, he’ll come back again when he feels like he’s cheated enough.

He’s still my favorite fighter of all time. Without TJ, Urijah and Dominick, I don’t get into mma until years later

How good was Chris Weidman actually?

One of the best bantamweights ever

i was a fan of tj true he tested postive but he was talnted and faced big names

People discredit him but won’t discredit Jon jones for failing multiple drug tests

Team alpha male was always going to have problems eventually. Too many fighters in the same weight class.

I’ve been watching your content for years, it’s always high quality and really in depth and informative videos. You’re honest with your biases and even give amazing personal takes on fighters and the sport. Thank you 🎉

Juicer the Juicing Legend

One of the most complete skill sets , also did it with bum shoulders mid-career .

TJ was a great fighter. An all-rounder, but people just keep talking about him cheating. So many fighters cheat… SO MANY. If you take that away, you only have a handful of fighters. TJ was a great fighter.

Good at cheating!

Its crazy how much leeway jones got for popping vs what TJ got

nah Tj my BW goat, he was a real champ not a point fighter, plus never eyepoked or hit in the back of the head

People didn't like TJ's personality but at his peak he was a problem. He joined Alpha Male already possessing the perfect foundation for MMA, speed, footwork and elite wrestling. Once Duane Ludwig joined the team TJs striking was elevated to a level that was on par with his wrestling. In his prime at 100% TJ was the best ever at 135lbs. It sucks he lost so much time due to injuries and EPO. Personally, I do believe he only used the EPO for Triple C. He was trying to cement his legacy but instead ruined it and sent his career into a tailspin. He left a lot of good fights on the table along with Millions of dollars.

PEDs don’t make a fighter. Respect to what he was able to achieve

Tj is evil Gaethje

Doesn't matter what the detractors say-- TJ is still a top-3 bantamweight of all-time, a two-time champion, and a likely Hall of Famer. Anyone making huge deal out of his PED bust when guys like Royce Gracie, Ken Shamrock, Jon Jones, Anderson Silva, Brock Lesnar, Alistair Overeem, Randy Couture, Dan Henderson, Forrest Griffin, Rampage, Vitor Belfort, Chael Sonnen, Josh Barnett, Tim Sylvia, Frank Mir, Sean O'Malley, Paulo Costa, Chris Leben, Stephan Bonnar, Kimbo Slice, Cris Cyborg, Sean Sherk, Hermes Franca, Hector Lombard, Nate Marquardt, Ali B, Rousimar Palharres, Wanderlei Silva, Donald Cerrone, Jake Shields, Gil Melendez, Brian Ortega, Chad Mendes, King Mo, Kevin Randleman, Jesse Taylor, and Fabricio Werdum among MANY others exist is simply lying to themselves about the pervasiveness of drugs in this sport.
