In Ultimate, there are six triumphs, including knockouts over Augusto Tanquinho and Thominhas Almeida.

Former champion of the category, Dillashaw, 31 years old, became champion by knocking out Renan Barao at UFC 173 in May 2014. He defended his title on two occasions, against Joe Soto and Barão again, but was defeated by Dominick Cruz in January 2016. Afterwards, they scored two victories by overcoming the Brazilians Raphael Assunção and John Lineker.
