T.J. Dillashaw feels it’s his time to shine at UFC Fight Night on ESPN+1.
The reigning bantamweight champion is already considered one of the best fighters in the world, but the 32-year-old wants to immortalize his legacy by becoming the UFC’s next ‘champ-champ.’
Dillashaw will drop down to 125 lbs. to challenge Henry Cejudo for the flyweight title in the UFC Fight Night 143 main event but, speaking to MMA Junkie at a recent media luncheon in Los Angeles, The Ultimate Fighter 14 finalist said that the belt is just an accessory.
It’s the win — not the belt — that will help solidify Dillashaw as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world.
