T.J. Dillashaw got a win in his first fight in more than two years but now he’s headed into surgery after earning a split decision victory over Cory Sandhagen at UFC Vegas 22.
The former bantamweight champion revealed on Tuesday that an MRI revealed a couple of tears in his knee that will force him to go back under the knife but he’s not expecting a lengthy layoff as a result.
“Went in for a MRI today, found out that I suffered a displaced Bucket Handle tear of the Lateral Meniscus and a Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL) rupture at the end of the first round landing ground and pound while being lazy in a compromised position,” Dillashaw wrote on Instagram.
