What’s TJ’s best win? Barão? Garbrandt? Neither win(s) aged well, especially not Barão considering where his career has gone.
TJ’s arguably best win is over Lineker who isn’t even in the UFC anymore.
Most who hold TJ in high regard do so based on performances rather than opponents, which isn’t a good measurement, especially considering he’s been accused of cheating for years before eventually being caught.
TJ Dillashaw is overrated.
I still think he beat Cruz
Close fight for sure. But close doesn’t count. 
Dillashaw is an overrated faggot.
I went to high school with him and he is douche.
Least shocking thing we will hear today but doesn’t mean he’s overrated.
Agreed. Caliber of opponents and their career trajectory does.
Oh I forgot to add: Outside of TJ defending his belt against guys he already beat and who were on downward career trajectories, he also defended his belt against Joe Soto!
Big fucking deal.He was supposed to fight Barao again but Barao dropped out.
It did take TJ 5 rounds. Soto was KOd in the first round in his next fight against Anthony Birchak.
Plus he’s a twink. He’d make more money in gay porn than he does fighting.
We can kind of pick apart anyone’s record. Who at 135 is better than TJ with a resume that we cant belittle?
I was bummed that Soto was the replacement because I went to this show.But Soto`s record wasn’t all that bad at the time.Soto was a TPF champion and the UFC was watching the TPF promotion because of Ian McCall.
I don’t think so. The point is TJ beat guys to make his name who aren’t relevant anymore, and/or who were on downward trajectories. In other words, not real good examples of how good he actually is.
Look at Yan, Aljo, or even Aldo, and they all have wins over top opponents who are still relevant. TJ does not. Sandhagen is close to TJ in this regard, and Saturday will be a great fight for that fact.
Maybe TJ broke their collective Anii and started their downward spiral.
I’m not shitting on Soto. Sorry if it comes across that way. He took a short notice opportunity and did the best he could.
Not a bad argument but seems difficult to prove. Plus even if so, TJ just doesn’t have an impressive resume otherwise. Even if we argue he broke two top guys, he followed that by testing positive for PEDs after being accused so for years. That is his legacy.
In other words, overrated.
A lot of it isnt that he just beat a couple guys, they were pretty exciting fights.
That goes a long way for me.
