@@theeOnslaught no one’s saying it’s not good? We’re saying that his knowledge of it wasn’t obtained by becoming a doctor or research for research sake. He knows these things because how many times he’s been told them by doctors and things of that nature
Everything he said, from injuries to the medications, weight cut, potential surgeries. I think thats it. If TJ doesnt want to end up like most of the OG fighters, he should stop. His body is telling him to stop.
The fact that he was able to hide it from the UFC is the biggest problem guys, this is supposed to be a professional sport not to mention a title fight
A lot of fighters have had injuries and fought anyways and some won. This was just a big example of it backfiring. If you have done sports you know it is not hard to hide injuries from doctors most athletes do it
UFC needs total reform. Perhaps after Dana retires, but reality is someone else interested only in money and not the fighters and not interested in building this into a reputable sport will show up.
dude is able to hide PEDS from ufc before getting caught doesn't surprise me he can hide a shoulder injury too, this dude needs to retire or UFC need to release him

@@Reginald_Harrison sorry but Tj a sore loser. He’s one of my fav Bw but every time he lost there was an excuse. He went into the fight with the injury and said himself he was 100% confident he’d. Now that he lost he needs an excuse for his ego simple.
@@Reginald_Harrison it goes both ways would yall be defending sterling if he came in injured and ps tj never had to sign the contract regardless if it was his "last chance"
What a terrible take from Ariel!!! How can you second him in this, fans who backed TJ putting there hard earned money on the line were wronged because tj didn't say he wasn't competing at 100%, or he was injured we were lead to believe he is gunna be competing for a championship belt and be ready not one armed against a killer?
100% he sold all his fans and betters a dream, everyone was rightly certain he would be able to finish aljo because tj that good and tough, but he had lost long before the fight started, he held up the division, and in all embedded episodes talking about he gonna find aljo weakness and finish him blah blah nahh
I know it's obviously private info, but I wish more fighters would publish their injury/surgery list a while after they stay retired. It would really put into perspective how much these people go through and the reality that awaits young fighters. On one of Wonderboy's video he stated Chris Weidman has had over 15 surgeries. Most human beings will barely have more than some dentistry done.
part of it also gotta be not training or fighting smart. people get mad at Izzy for fighting the way he does but over 100 fights across three combat sports and I dont think Ive ever seen him injured bad then on the other side, you have Michael Chandler who completely drops his guard and lets Justin Gaethje cuz he knows he can take it😂
He ruined his career and future, there was no way in hell he was beating aljo in that condition(actually a huge insult to aljo if he thought he could win) and now he’s probably done permanent damage to his shoulder that will keep him from performing at a top level and realistically prevent him from living a normal life. Shoulders are no joke.
TJ knows his body is breaking so he took the fight because he knew he would never get a title shot again. Fighters have short careers and they need to maximise every second.
Let’s be honest here. TJ has barely fought in a few years, and ALL that sponsorship money dried up due to PEDs. TJ needed a paycheck. That’s why he fought. That’s why he hid it from the UFC.
You do know TJ has over 100 food trucks all over California, and has plenty of other businesses. I don’t like TJ but dude is wealthy with or without the belt. He ain’t need a paycheck.
@@FrZeshh I was about to comment this. Lmao tj doesnt drive a nsx because hes broke. Dude is well off mma fans need to cut the bs talk without sources Haha
Yeah dudes.......food service investments , driving a sports car, and most of all, the word of TJ.....all definite signs of financial freedom and tremendous wealth. People with sports cars, mansions, yachts, 2nd & 3rd homes, file for bankruptcy every day. Your assets and investments are not cash on hand. Look, I’m sorry.....but men lie about two things to other men. Sexual conquests and regarding their financial situation. There is 0% chance TJ would ever say he did this for the money. Who cares what he said in this interview? You guys are very trusting of TJ’s word. I’m just not.
T.J. got freaking smoked. Sterling man handled him like no other. If you try and claim you had an injury, that's on you. Should never have gotten into the cage if you thought it was going to be a factor.
Tj really thought he would be able to get the job done with the injured shoulder, and obviously he was terribly wrong Either aljo is way better than tj thought or he did this for a pay check Either way hurts his legacy Rip the CEO of EPO
Takes peds to win but loses. Says he can take aljo with one arm, he loses 2nd rd finish. Is afraid he won't get title shot coming off of a suspension for banned substances. Plain to see he sells wolf tickets.
@deez if you take epo and don't train you can increase you v02 max up to*10 percent. Imagine the numbers if your training. When your at v02 max mistakes and injury happen. Should I keep going or can you connect the dots. If you reading the studies word for word you can come to your conclusion with rose tinted glasses. If you look at the whole picture, having you v02 max higher via taken a drug,can allow you to train at everyone else's v02 max with out you hitting yours. Allowing you to stay technical and keep overtraining at arms length.
@deez it actually kinda does make sense tho lol. you're correct about epo but that stimulation allowed him to train way harder and recover way faster. Therefore training at a much higher output while on the juice because his body could handle that. He hasn't let off the gas but let off the juice so it's bound to have more wear and tear when he can't recover as quickly.
TJ held up the division and gave the fans a horrible disappointment of a fight. He was a selfish cheat when he took EPO and he's a selfish cheat now. If he wasn't 5' 6", he'd be cheating on his wife, too.
People can rag on this dude all they want. Breaking news Peds are part of every single professional sport. Not a justification of it but people can’t be too shocked. As a fan of the sport I truly enjoyed every single TJ dillashaw fight. Whether I was rooting for him or against him dude always comes too fight. Regardless of the opponent or circumstances he always pushes for the finish. It’s going to be tough to make a comeback at his age and with the injuries he has but it will be fun to watch.

he fought roided up though.

This one hurts for me I really do think TJ would have won and got his belt back! Sucks all that work and to have an injury take you out like that. But what a freakin warrior to go in there and still fight with Al that injury. When I heard people saying he did it for a paycheck I laughed if you follow mma like some of do you know TJ has businesses and doesn’t need the paycheck he wants that belt one of the most competitive fighters in the UFC! Wish TJ nothing but the best successful surgery and speedy recovery look forward to seeing him back.
I didn't have a problem with TJ before and enjoyed his bad guy heel rifle. But this just showed no class to me. Many fighters go into fights injured. He himself, said he went into fights with similar injuries before. Why he felt the need to draw attention to his injury immediately after this fight and steal Aljo's shine, just tells me he doesn't have any class.
TJ - you can't fight with a serious injury and then expect people to be happy that you did AND for them to accept you were so injured that it was impossible to win. That's having your cake AND eating it.
Tj is the typical aljo hater. Thought aljo was so bad, he could beat him with one arm, and hasnt changed his opinion at all after getting his ass kicked.
Funny part is that he admitted he won his belt and defended it with that same injury but now when he loses to Aljo it’s because of his shoulder and nothing else lmao
This dude is still a competitor which is what's lacking in the UFC nowadays is everyone's in there for the paycheck. They all want to fight the best to get paid the best! Very few in the UFC love the sport for what it is. With his rage and anger he probably would do good in K.O.T.S
I think he needs to go up In Weight. All his injuries are worsened when your dehydrated. He’s ramping up training cutting weight and drying out. He needs to go up if he wants longevity
TJ you just need to sit out one more more year you won all them championships with one shoulder. 3 times is enough on one arm. Don’t even rush it at all just come back old and strong like Randy Coutour or something. Don’t rush it at all.
Hey TJ, you're an MMA fighter. Wasn't sure if you knew that. This means that fighters can strike, but they can also wrestle. You cannot force a fighter to only strike because it would benefit YOU. The snake always looking for a shortcut. Perhaps you should try boxing.
facts now him and all his fans are discrediting aljo because he went for what he is good at instead of striking to appease people, he is obviously going to utilise his strengths to hold onto his belt, i dont know why people cant seem to fathom this lol
You won your titles with a busted shoulder on EPO or whatever stuff u were taking. Clean and almost 40 ain't gonna cut it this time, sorry to say. This guy makes the worst decisions. Completely blinded by his ego to win at all costs.
@@madgavin7568 well his lawyer would do the work not garbrandt. But yea, I said in a just world he'd get compensation from the cheater. But this world is anything but.
This dude took a big gamble fighting like that now he’s gonna be out longer and be older when he comes back. Dumb move at that age to fight somebody who wants to take your back with a bum shoulder
@@josiffexplosiff1 that doesnt matter. 1. If he had another surgery and was out another year he would have ceased being the number 1 contender anyway. 2. He has needs outside a belt. He needed his show money
The fight would go exactly the same way. TJ got taken down before his arm popped out. Aljo didn’t sub him by attacking his weakened arm or do anything that affected his weakened arm, he took him down and ground and pounded the hell out of him lmao
Michael Bisping fought like 14 times with only one eye. Don't think it's that uncommon that fighters hide injuries. Too much on the line so naturally if they think they can get away with it and hide it from the doctors then many fighters, of course not all of them, would still take the fight. Bisping did end up being a Champion so that story probably makes it more likely for a fighter to try and hide injuries that would stop them from getting approved for a license to fight.
Okay cool. Gives himself all the credit in the world and discredits aljo for 25 minutes. Tells us how bad aljo is but got flattened out belly down by that guy.
You'll never get full strength back after shoulder surgery and he's had several. 1year+ for full recovery and the way he trains it'll be damaged during training.
I understand TJ's position in all this - but still doesn't make it right and doesn't mean it's reasonable for guys to go in with severely comprised shoulders like he did. Especially if he then constantly tells us about it. I agree with Luke, it was a bit of a scam for paying customers.
People are delusional to hate this man. He literally tore every shoulder muscle and all he can think of is that he could have won that fight. TJ and mighty mouse are the best mma fighters I've ever watched! I hope he's back soon.
Nothing tough about going into a fight injured and fooling everyone. The fight could've and should've been stopped in the 1st. He's an idiot and his fighting days are over
Sounds like as he said he’s addicted to being on top and he will do whatever it takes to bring on top, if you know what I mean. Especially as it sounds like his body is crumbling
Well hes not wrong. If he pulled out of the fight all these cheesedoodle "MMA fans" in the comments would say he's ducking and scared. And when he doesn't pull out and fights on he's a scam. U can't win with the new "MMA fans".
TJ's one of my least favourite fighters, but I really hope he doesn't go off the rails in his 40s or 50s. That "Championship mentality" can rebound on you really badly once your body goes and your ego can't cope with it.
@@TeemoForLife he clearly still has thick ab muscles , muscley pecs, back etc .. you don’t just cut down into a muscley body you have to gain muscle before you cut or else you’d just be skin and bones . I know from experience having bad shoulders interferes a lot with building muscle , although still possible it can be a big challenge
You know he's screwed when he knows all the proper doctor terms for all the injured areas.
Being informed is bad?

Why he felt the need to draw attention to his injury immediately after this fight and steal Aljo's shine, just tells me he doesn't have any class.
It’s crazy how he went on and on about aljo having built up excuses before the fight… funny how things turn around.
I broke my back. Spinal.
TJ - you can't fight with a serious injury and then expect people to be happy that you did AND for them to accept you were so injured that it was impossible to win. That's having your cake AND eating it.
Tj is the typical aljo hater. Thought aljo was so bad, he could beat him with one arm, and hasnt changed his opinion at all after getting his ass kicked.
Funny part is that he admitted he won his belt and defended it with that same injury but now when he loses to Aljo it’s because of his shoulder and nothing else lmao
This dude is still a competitor which is what's lacking in the UFC nowadays is everyone's in there for the paycheck. They all want to fight the best to get paid the best! Very few in the UFC love the sport for what it is. With his rage and anger he probably would do good in K.O.T.S
Who is the pic of on the side of the table by the ufc sign
tj turning into the cain velasquez of 135
Very disrespectful from tj. Fighting with injury is okay but discrediting Aljo is not. I think he's not the best WW anymore. Umar Nurmagomedov is
I think he needs to go up In Weight. All his injuries are worsened when your dehydrated. He’s ramping up training cutting weight and drying out. He needs to go up if he wants longevity
He's not a big BW though. Maybe train less frequently or intensely.
Arnold Allen would trash him.
TJ a G💯. He would have been champ if it wasn’t for those injuries, I believe
Should have been permanently banned from competition
Lol he would've lost anyway, saying Aljo is not dangerous or easy is just salty lol
TJ you just need to sit out one more more year you won all them championships with one shoulder. 3 times is enough on one arm. Don’t even rush it at all just come back old and strong like Randy Coutour or something. Don’t rush it at all.
Ariel saying F*ck is the best part of the whole video, episode even.
Time?
Awesome interview
Even with what I said previously, TJ is one tough human.
Aljo slayed the snake. It is what it is.
Without the juice his body simply can't hold up.
Hey TJ, you're an MMA fighter. Wasn't sure if you knew that. This means that fighters can strike, but they can also wrestle. You cannot force a fighter to only strike because it would benefit YOU. The snake always looking for a shortcut. Perhaps you should try boxing.
facts now him and all his fans are discrediting aljo because he went for what he is good at instead of striking to appease people, he is obviously going to utilise his strengths to hold onto his belt, i dont know why people cant seem to fathom this lol
Great interview.
Keep up the good work.
Thank You,
Natasha Samuel
Whatever makes ya sleep at night 🐍
You need to find something else dude, your title shot has been taken and you lose
You won your titles with a busted shoulder on EPO or whatever stuff u were taking. Clean and almost 40 ain't gonna cut it this time, sorry to say. This guy makes the worst decisions. Completely blinded by his ego to win at all costs.
P.S. in a just world garbrandt should sue him
@@pinkbug8u Garbrandt's too dumb to do that let alone win a lawsuit.
@@madgavin7568 well his lawyer would do the work not garbrandt. But yea, I said in a just world he'd get compensation from the cheater. But this world is anything but.
You're the greatest Ariel
This is the saltiest interview in mma history
love the name.,
He said he ain't retiring. I respect that but his next fight will tell the tale of what will become of his career.
He looks so different after Cejudo fight
This dude took a big gamble fighting like that now he’s gonna be out longer and be older when he comes back. Dumb move at that age to fight somebody who wants to take your back with a bum shoulder
ufc fighters dont make any money uf they dont fight. dude wanted/needed the paycheck
Not a gameble. He probably made over 100k betting on aljo through friends and coaches
@@mmamultiverse75 riiiiight……
@@jfleming6870 OK he won’t make it back to the title though he’s too old and he’s falling apart
@@josiffexplosiff1 that doesnt matter. 1. If he had another surgery and was out another year he would have ceased being the number 1 contender anyway. 2. He has needs outside a belt. He needed his show money
It's a sad day when he retires man, say what u want about the guy and most likely it's credited but I enjoyed watching his fights.
I'm not a TJ fan but a healthy tj will absolutely destroy aljo
The fight would go exactly the same way. TJ got taken down before his arm popped out. Aljo didn’t sub him by attacking his weakened arm or do anything that affected his weakened arm, he took him down and ground and pounded the hell out of him lmao
Michael Bisping fought like 14 times with only one eye.
Don't think it's that uncommon that fighters hide injuries.
Too much on the line so naturally if they think they can get away with it and hide it from the doctors then many fighters, of course not all of them, would still take the fight.
Bisping did end up being a Champion so that story probably makes it more likely for a fighter to try and hide injuries that would stop them from getting approved for a license to fight.
Bisping never used that as an excuse though. Tj has never lost a fight without an excuse- including when he lost on peds lol
Okay cool. Gives himself all the credit in the world and discredits aljo for 25 minutes. Tells us how bad aljo is but got flattened out belly down by that guy.
Ariel "The Brown Nose" Helwani really catering to his guest isn't he lol
I dislocated my shoulder 6 years ago and it keeps hopping out if i do some fast movements. I dont think he should fight again.
You'll never get full strength back after shoulder surgery and he's had several. 1year+ for full recovery and the way he trains it'll be damaged during training.
I understand TJ's position in all this - but still doesn't make it right and doesn't mean it's reasonable for guys to go in with severely comprised shoulders like he did. Especially if he then constantly tells us about it. I agree with Luke, it was a bit of a scam for paying customers.
This is basically TJs body telling him to stop. This was basically his last payday in fighting.
Lol no it wasn't get a grip
@@abtwopoint0He's pushing 40 and without juice can't perform or make it to the fight
The fact that he is constantly disrespecting sterling is mind boggling
People are delusional to hate this man. He literally tore every shoulder muscle and all he can think of is that he could have won that fight. TJ and mighty mouse are the best mma fighters I've ever watched! I hope he's back soon.
Mamed for life.
Showed toughness only few in the world could show!
Also probably made loads of money betting on aljo.
Yea ofcourse he cannot bet. But hsi friends and trainers, doctors probably make 20k each
Nothing tough about going into a fight injured and fooling everyone. The fight could've and should've been stopped in the 1st. He's an idiot and his fighting days are over
@@mmamultiverse75 hey maybe that's why they changed the rules around fighters and friends betting around the same time. Coincidence?
All that toughness disappears after his excuses.
Respect Dillashaw has that champion mindset
Was it the steroids, the disloyalty, the poor treatment of his teammates, the crybaby mentality or something else?
@Nick Furfaro Nah it was probably the fact Tj cheapshots his teammates after getting beat up or the constant victim mentality
Fun Fact: "TJ" stands for "Tito Junior". 🤙
To think Dillashaw used to call Dominick Cruz injury prone.....
Sounds like as he said he’s addicted to being on top and he will do whatever it takes to bring on top, if you know what I mean. Especially as it sounds like his body is crumbling
Best audio in the game.
It makes it hard to bet on T.J. when he is always fighting injured.
Well hes not wrong. If he pulled out of the fight all these cheesedoodle "MMA fans" in the comments would say he's ducking and scared. And when he doesn't pull out and fights on he's a scam. U can't win with the new "MMA fans".
No fighter goes into a fight 100%. I hate TJ lost the fight that way, but that’s the sport.
There’s a difference between going into a fight not 100% and what this dude did.
All this too say my body can’t hold up cause I’m no longer using steroids
Idk how anyone could be a tj fan
TJ's one of my least favourite fighters, but I really hope he doesn't go off the rails in his 40s or 50s.
That "Championship mentality" can rebound on you really badly once your body goes and your ego can't cope with it.
Aljo should have broken the other arm
TJ is one of the all time greats
TJ will be suing the ufc in the near future 🔮.
For wut?
On the job injury.
How does he get so ripped with such damaged shoulders
It's cutting....
@@TeemoForLife he clearly still has thick ab muscles , muscley pecs, back etc .. you don’t just cut down into a muscley body you have to gain muscle before you cut or else you’d just be skin and bones . I know from experience having bad shoulders interferes a lot with building muscle , although still possible it can be a big challenge
TJ Dillashaw on why he decided to do an interview in his car:
DUR DA DURP DURPA DURP SHITTY PISSY POO POO PEE PEE
I wonder how people that bet $ on TJ feel right now.
Tbh I don't blame TJ for taking the fight but, I blame the UAE for allowing the fight to happen.
No athletic commission over there, all on the UFC
This interview should just be labeled "Excuses". Basically, what every word out of his mouth is.
