UFC 280: “s*** way to win the belt”, TJ Dillashaw isn’t jeopardized about Aljamain Sterling considers an easy fight
The jaw-breaking performance of Aljamain Sterling against Petr Yan and dominating the Octagon with the title wins at UFC 259 and UFC 273.
“He won the fight,”“The first one was kind of a s***** way to win the belt, and the way he kind of handled it made himself really hated. But still, I don’t feel like he gained that much more respect for the fact that he’s not a dangerous fighter.
“He’s not someone you have to go out there and worry about getting finished or put to sleep. I’ve always known he’s great. He’s got some great skills in what he does. But to me, if I look at him, he’s not a fighter. He’s more of an athlete, which our sport is professional athletes, but we’re all fighters and want to go out there and get that finish.”
“I think they both have their difficulties, just different aspects,” Dillashaw said. “When you fight someone like Yan, you’ve got to go out there and be ready for someone to get put to sleep. He’s kind of like that gangster, in your face, ready to go. When you’re fighting Aljo, you’ve got to worry about him not putting the fight where he wants it and controlling it and making it a snoozefest. So it’s a little bit different, but I think I match up really well with Aljo, to be honest.”
“100 percent – how could I not?” Dillashaw said of a rematch with Cejudo. “I feel like the chips are all lining up perfectly, to be honest. Get the belt back, Cejudo’s coming out of retirement — which I knew was all bulls*** anyways. Come on, I knew from the beginning it wasn’t a real retirement, he was trying to get paid more, but it kind of backfired on him, and now he’s coming back, so kind of perfect timing.”
TJ Dillashaw has an overall record of 18 wins and 4 losses, had his last loss against Henry Cejudo and his last fight saw him go up with Cory Sandhagen in a 5-round battle and win via a unanimous decision.
While The division’s King Aljamain Sterling holds an unstoppable 7 wins and is looking forward to defending his title.
