In a recent appearance on the Overdogs Podcast, TJ Dillashaw gave his thoughts anew on the upcoming middleweight title fight.

The former UFC bantamweight champion has recently posted a photo of him standing alongside Khamzat Chimaev during the challenger’s training camp.

Dillashaw also admitted in the podcast that he originally did predict Dricus du Plessis being successful in defending the belt, due to his superior cardio.
However, his stance has been changed after he recently introduced Chimaev to a person that he says had a big impact on his own career.

The fight camp has since been at The Treigning Lab under Sam Calavita, who once changed Dillashaw’s approach to strength and conditioning.

“I met Khamzat and I introduced to him this guy, Sam Calavitta… So Chimaev is doing things right now, and I highly suspect he’s going to have an amazingly
better gas tank for this next fight - and I think he’s going to get the win because of it… He’s gonna make the weight better, which in turn gets his cardio better,
and he’s going to train the right way at this final stage” says TJ Dillashaw.
 
More like introduced him to the EPO

Hmmm, not sure I'm calling my facility the TREN-ing lab to be honest
 
Khamzat has never had bad cardio, I have been impressed with his cardio to be honest

NOBODY can redline the way he does and not gas out

And I don’t really see him changing his style unless he learns the hard way
Bingo, and his opponent has to somewhat match the pace to keep his head above the water.

Can't just chill and wait for him to gas out like many people seem to think.
 
That coach is the guy TJ was training with when he popped for EPO.. and everyone coming out of that camp has looked juiced to the gills. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to read between the lines here, Khamzat was worried about having cardio for 5 rounds so he went to a certain CEO.
 
TJ getting juicy and training?

This man angling for a comeback.
 
That old guy was the guy training tj when he popped and came up with the most ridiculous statement afterwards.

Anyhow, I'm sure they'll cycle what they need to properly this time.

What a sport mma is - the guy who got busted for EPO gets to introduce a fighter to the coach who was coaching him when he got busted for epo.

I guess Chimmy has never had a steady team so it probably doesn't change much but most other fighters would probably want to stick to the same old coaches going into a title fight for the first time.
 
Curious on y’all’s opinion someone like TJ in todays day and age…does he ever have to work again? Did he make enough if he was wise? I just don’t see him doing a regular job? Btw I know he’s young and not rolling in tens of millions but like did he make 2-3? Quick enough to put away live within his means and call it a day? Not even close ?

Thoughts ?
