he was always overrated to begin with.
at the time, there was no real interesting fighters in the division so dana and joe rogan had to manufacture one

His win streak of Pickett, Jorgensen, Faber, Mayday, Wineland, and Faber was very impressive. He was definitely the second best if not the best, because he never fought Cruz, in the division. Nobody gave one fight win streak Dillashaw a chance.looking at his old fights before TJ the guy was never that good. he was the champ then Cruz was injured. He had good jits, speed and spinning back kick that's about it.
Every fighters prime comes at a different time. and id like to think a large part is confindence. After the TJ fights, he hasnt looked like the same guy in the cage. Takes wayy less chances, scared to brawl, more grappling oriented fight approach, and to be honest less cardio. Id say USADA had a part but alot is confidenceHe was an absolute monster. Went 32-1 until his first fight with TJ, then went 2-5 after (including his rematch). And he's not old by any means, 31. That's considered prime for most MMA fighters. Did TJ just take his soul, or was there some serious flaw in his game that got exposed?
