TJ Dillashaw

Nobody hands you anything at bantamweight. TJ Dillashaw has built a 18-5 record the hard way, one fight at a time since leaving the United States's regional scene.

Volume is the weapon: 5.09 significant strikes a minute on 48% accuracy. Rounds get won on attrition — opponents drown in output long before the final bell.

He's coming off a loss to Aljamain Sterling. Careers aren't defined by the fall, though; they're defined by the rebound.

At 40, the window is what it is — which tends to make every remaining fight more honest, and more dangerous.
