T.J. Dillashaw touts ex-rival as UFC champ Merab Dvalishvili’s toughest test

BAD MMA News — Wed, 29 Jan 2025 02:23:06 +0000

T.J. Dillashaw has an unpopular opinion on UFC bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili ’s hardest fight. Dvalishvili (19-4 MMA, 12-2 UFC) retained his bantamweight title when he outlasted Umar Nurmagomedov (18-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) by unanimous decision in the UFC 311 co-main event. Former champion Dillashaw sees Dvalishvili ruling over the 135-pound division for a while. However, he did surprisingly pick former foe Cody Garbrandt (14-6 MMA, 9-6 UFC) as potentially the champion’s sternest test – despite “No Love” having lost three of his past five.

BAD MMA News — Fri, 24 Jan 2025 17:37:06 +0000

T.J. Dillashaw guarantees Kevin Holland will never touch UFC gold. Dillashaw was critical of the lack of urgency Holland (26-13 MMA, 13-10 UFC) showed in his first-round submission loss to Reinier de Ridder at UFC 311 this past Saturday. Holland, who was crowned MMA Junkie’s 2020 Fighter of the Year after going 5-0, has now lost four of his past five outings. “I commented on one of the posts you guys put out there about him not caring about being a champion, ‘There’s too much politics in it.’ All right, dude. That’s just an excuse, because you’ll never be a champion,” Dillashaw said on the “JAXXON PODCAST.” “He’s a very entertaining fighter

T.J. Dillashaw: Merab Dvalishvili made Sean O’Malley look very weak at UFC 306

BAD MMA News — Sun, 22 Sep 2024 16:55:19 +0000

T.J. Dillashaw didn’t expect Merab Dvalishvili to look that dominant in his first UFC championship fight.

Dvalishvili took the 135-pound title from O’Malley (18-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC), outpointing him in a unanimous decision . “It’s not that I didn’t expect it,” Dillashaw said on the Jaxxon Podcast . “I knew that it was very close on the betting odds and when I had to go and pick this fight, I knew that Merab had a chance to just pressure the f*ck out of him.
