“I just won a fight against the number one contender, who, actually, I think is a more dangerous guy, with one leg. I could beat this idiot (Sterling) soon with one leg too. I'm not too worried about him. I think Sandhagen is actually a tougher fight. If he were a little more complete, he would be even further along. I feel like nothing will stop me from getting my belt, no matter what it is. If I have to go up to the octagon and fight with one arm, one leg, one eye, it doesn’t matter,” said Dillashaw.

Number two in the bantamweight rankings, TJ returned to the octagon in July 2021, after serving a two-year suspension for doping. On his return to Ultimate, Dillashaw waged an incredible war against Cory Sandhagen and emerged victorious in the judges' split decision. The North American has a record of 17 triumphs and four setbacks as an MMA professional.
