TJ Dillashaw will be champ again

Even though I think he lost against Sandhagen, Dillashaw is the more interesting storyline against both Yan and Sterling.

Heels all around I love it.

Depends on how much gear he’s on. I still think yan beats him and everyone in the division. Fully juiced out epo, d-bol, science experiment dillashaw gives anyone in the division a tough fight. Like I said, it all depends on how much he stacks his steroid cycle

Yan doesn't really have any weaknesses, but he isn't really exceptionally at anything either. He hasn't look amazing either, I'd say his best performance was against Aljo.

Really? He beat the fuck out Aldo.

Yan will get pieced up by Sandhagen

Haha. Hope there's tons of bettors like you when they finally do fight.

A bunch of injuries as you mention can foil those plans, considering his age

I would say at 135lbs Yan's power is exceptional. Thus far his takedown defense seems to be as well in how dominantly he was able to stave off Jimmie Rivera's, Faber's and Sterling's takedown attempts (not a bad line up) and he improved after the Magomedov loss and showed stellar grappling in the rematch he won. Its a little too soon to tell about cardio but after rounds 2, in 3 and 4 vs Aldo and Sterling he became more dominant so it looks like he is strong late too and has a good tank.

He certainly has weaknesses, he's not the quickest and he likes to punch a bit outside of boxing range and throws loopy often, if you watch the Rivera fight, Rivera was outlanding Yan, beating him to the punch and somewhat the better man on the inside boxing. But he is super strong with no real holes.

Dillashaw is old and had a long layoff, he went tooth and nail with Sandhagen and inclined to believe his wrestling strategy is a poor idea vs Yan. I feel like Dillashaw is quicker, has way better setup's and way better defense and headwork and footwork. That said, Yan's like 27, has huge power and is rising to his prime. Dillashaw is chinny, hold and lost years, I dont think Dillashaw wins but I think he can give Yan trouble.

Did not look very chinny this fight. Granted Sandhagen is not very powerful. Eating jumping knees is impressive though

i think he has to, otherwise his marriage will suffer....

This pic needs to be added to the cringe thread if it hasn't already
