Everyone is talking about how amazing TJ is for fighting with the injury. It actually just shows how self centred he is. Knew he could not win but just wanted to cash a cheque

Just the kind of mindless violence my brain needs to offset its inherent brilliance. It gets tiresome being this cerebral.

Another ******** situation he was injured how is that a tko you cannot target joints been illegal for 20yrs.
One of the best cards of all time being sullied by bad decisions and weird stoppages.

I definitely get where TJ is coming from. If he takes time to heal he loses his #1 contender spot, comes back that much older having to win one more fight to get him back into title contention.

At the same time, you have to be smart. He was never beating Aljo with a dislocated shoulder.

TJ always makes excuses when he loses. He was injured during the fight, already it's not necessary to give reasons for an injury during a fight. I am sure that "Pops My Shoulder 20 times in fight camp" was a complete exaggeration of TJ Dillashaw and if it is true, taking the fight was a complete irresponsibility towards his own integrity.

His career ended with the Usada sanction. He could've comed back to be a jobber in lower rankings but not to be champ. But I bet that's nearly impossible to let go off if you've been on that level.

Let me guess, Makhachev said "I will get this victory inshallah" then stared vacantly into the camera with expressiveness of a rock?
