The former two-time bantamweight champion has shocked everyone with his transformation.

Given the conditions of his last fight were less than optimal, will the former champion ever make a comeback into the Octagon?

Did ‘Lieutenant Dan’ do the right thing by entering the fight at UFC 280 with an injured shoulder? 

UFC 280 probably marked the end of TJ Dillashaw’s career after he decided to enter the Octagon with an injured shoulder. Dillashaw injured his shoulder during his training camp while preparing for the then-champion Aljamain Sterling. ‘Funk Master’ dominated the fight and knocked out the challenger after injuring his shoulder. 

‘Lieutenant Dan’ lost the fight and ended a remarkable career because of an injury that could have been avoided. The 37-year-old has had a history of shoulder problems and could have avoided the fight. Things could have been entirely different had Dillashaw walked out of the fight.
