After being severely limited by a shoulder injury during his bantamweight title fight against Aljamain Sterling at UFC 280, TJ Dillashaw will have surgery to correct the issue.
Speaking to ESPN's Brett Okamoto, Dillashaw said he is going to undergo a procedure on his ailing left shoulder that will likely keep him out of action for one year, but he intends to fight in UFC again.
"Nine months until I can start training rough and tough, and then making sure everything is healed up," Dillashaw explained about his recovery and training timeline. "I've had shoulder surgery before and I'd say another year, maybe, to compete.
