TJ Dillashaw

TJ Dillashaw, an Orthodox stance bantamweight from the United States with an 18-5 professional record, is a volume striker and tactical grappler who has competed at the highest levels of the division for over a decade. Averaging 5.09 strikes landed per minute with 41% striking accuracy and a solid 62% striking defense, Dillashaw relies on consistent output and footwork rather than raw power.

His takedown game complements his striking approach, landing 1.56 takedowns per 15 minutes at 30% accuracy while defending takedowns at a strong 77% rate, making him difficult to take down cleanly. His submission average of 0.8 per 15 minutes indicates occasional submission threats from dominant positions.

Recent fight results show a mixed trajectory: Dillashaw secured a split-decision victory over Cory Sandhagen in July 2021 and notched impressive knockout wins against Cody Garbrandt (November 2017) and Renan Barao (multiple victories in 2014-2015), but suffered a second-round knockout loss to Aljamain Sterling in October 2022, signaling the physical toll of a lengthy career. At 38 years old, Dillashaw's current standing in the bantamweight division remains uncertain as he evaluates his next competitive chapter.
