My mind is blown with the anti Rogan commentary chat. Hes a star in his own right now I suppose so its cool to bash him.

OH! HE'S HURT! HE'S HURT BAD!

Some people, believe it or not, aren't fans of brain dead, meathead bros who yelp nonsense during a fight.

Agreed he can be annoying but when he's gone I think people will then begin to realise how good/important he actually is. Same happened with Goldie to a lesser extent.

One of the most unlikeable pricks on the roster.

i dont know why people dont like him. unbelievable fighter comes across well on social media and as a fox presenter. i enjoyed him on rogans podcast.

he does use the race card from time to time which is stupid but he is by far not the only fighter on the roster who say dumb ****e

personally hope he doesnt get beaten for a long time just so it pisses dana off:P

jones and smith going back and forth on twitter both hinting that a fight is in the works. i get that smith is the next in line considering dc isnt likely to fight jones but i just dont see smith been much of a challenge for jones

Jayzis, he looks gaunt and still a fortnight to go. Really like TJ though, hope he makes the weight without destroying himself

Zero-Cool

Jesus, I wonder how much more he has to cut

I don't think Goldie has been missed at all to be honest with you. I still haven't got over him banging on about Rousey finding it hard due to being a rockstar at 183 and Rogan screaming over him that it had nothing to do with being a rockstar and "SHE'S GETTING PUNCHED IN THE FACE"

FFS. He's not going to make weight. I just hate the fact that this is a flyweight fight so much. Would have been so much better at 135.

Said it from day one he won't make weight, I didn't think he'd look this bad though. I worry for his health.

Dillashaw looked fine in pics posted on Instagram yesterday. You can't say hes not gonna make weight 2 weeks out he hasn't cut anything yet.

On another note who the f*ck can afford that stuff he's shilling? A vitamin test alone is 150 euro

You can heavily speculate on it based how shredded he is at 135. I can't see how you can strip another 10lbs off this frame. Then again I'm no expert

He'd have to lose some muscle mass obviously. Cardio, calorie deficits etc.

Of course, hes probably losing weight over the last few weeks, suppose he'd be hoping to lose 8 or 9 pounds. The jaunt face is usually from the water cut though isn't it? I think he makes the weight an starches Henry inside a round anyway. Can't wait.

Subcomandante Marcos

People worrying about him now are just projecting, he wouldn't have cut a millilitre of water yet. Odds are he rolled out of bed and just seems all over the place because he's still half asleep. He'll make weight easily imo.

Well that's why people (who i agree with) think that he will struggle big time to make weight as we know he isn't in the water cutting stage but still looks super gaunt two weeks away from the fight. I only saw the video (not heard) so didn't think he was all over he place. Looks like it will be a super hard cut. Like people have been saying he already makes a hard cut to make BW! Don't know what you are on about 'projecting'.

Dillashaw probably looks bad because he just finished his sparring for the rest of his camp. He will be fine

dulux99

Even if he makes weight we definitely won't be seeing the best version of TJ Dillashaw which is a shame as he's one of the top fighters in the game at the moment.

tommyboy26

was just thinking who are the ufc fighters you are looking forward to seen this year and why?

mine are

ben askern because his style is very hard for anyone to fight and would love to see him become a massive star would like to see him fight colby or usman

tony Ferguson cause he is an animal and looked unbelievable in his last fight would love to see him and khabib im not really interested in the conor/khabib rematch just yet

Cody garbrant because i think he got to emotionally drawn into the tj fights and he has only lost to tj would love to see him vs moraes


rose namajunas nearly a year since she last fought would love to see her against karolina kowalkiewicz because lost lost via a split decision and i would like to see it ran back

i know the rankings wont allow some of those fights but i would love to see them.

lastly the diaz brothers verses anyone really just because they are the diaz brothers:P

vkus6mt3y8zg2q

Looking forward to seeing Cain back. A healthy Cain is a monster

Beersmith

Askren: hope he is super boring but keeps winning to stick it to dana

Barboza: cause I love his leg kicks

Gunni: although id prefer to see him fight at LW

Ryan Hall: just love how 1 dimensional he is but I think he could take out a lot of fighters

Just realised ive been following the sport for over 10 years now and I've never cared less about potential fights and especially about the champions and their potential opponents. Mainly because of the farcical nature of match ups these days.

How can you say we definitely won't be seeing the best version of him, we haven't seen him at this weight yet. He could be as good or better than 135. If he keeps his power an speed it'll be over in seconds I think

Jaunt face is usually dehydration but can also just be down to be very skinny (look at anorexics, junkies, etc).
In order for TJ to get within cutting distance of 125, he be getting skinny in camp.

Don't think he'd have to get that skinny. He says he makes 135 with absolute ease, so a tough cut he could prob knock off another few lbs. So really he only needs to shed a few pound of actual weight off before the cut?
