The way he talks about his 'conditioning' improving makes me think he's been taking something to aid with recovery because he talks about setting the best times in training ever at the age of 31, 32, 33.
A top fiver?
I was looking just at the top 10 and couldnt see a match for him but lets double check.
Khabib - No chance
Tony - out for now
Conor - wishful thinking
Dustin - booked
Al - recently worked him
Barboza - booked vs Gaetjie
Gaetji - see above
Pettis - booked
Cerrone - Already booked
And thats the top 10 done....
Gregor Gillespie - Makes sense and is where he should be looking.
Nate Diaz - sigh....contract probably wouldnt ever get signed.
TJ Dillashaw
Ohh man a full year suspension while you are the champ?
Can Dominick please get frikken healthy and be the champ we deserve.
Else all our hopes are on Moraes?
I know a lot of tri athletes and such that lose their quickness as they age, but improve their conditioning to make up for it. This shouldn't come as some sort of surprise.The way he talks about his 'conditioning' improving makes me think he's been taking something to aid with recovery because he talks about setting the best times in training ever at the age of 31, 32, 33.
True but TJ wouldn't be the first MMA fighter to only start using once they started slowing down.I know a lot of tri athletes and such that lose their quickness as they age, but improve their conditioning to make up for it. This shouldn't come as some sort of surprise.
TJ using for years is a possibility. But I think the above is a bad example in how it correlates.

I'll be rooting for the guy, but I don't think he has much of chance against Barboza.is there a micro-chance of gaethje beating barbosa??
i mean i love justin like everyone else, but he can't eat barbosa kicks like he eat punches in every fight or he's gonna get knocked out cold with the first spinning kick...
what do you think guys?
(sorry for my english)
thanks.I'll be rooting for the guy, but I don't think he has much of chance against Barboza.
And your English is fine.
Gaethje is one of the best wrestlers at Lightweight, he just doesn't want to use it. If he could combo his brawling and wrestling he could be a Top 3 LW.thanks.
do you think that maybe justin will be prepared and with a plan against edson? i don't know...an actual defense that doesn't suck would be a nice first step...or maybe just ultra aggressive style in the pocket where edson can't kick your heads off easily?
If it's just a striking matchup, Justin definitely has a chance, but Edson should be the favorite, yeah. His toughness and ability to deal with damage is even higher. Probably the best in the division, if not all of the UFC.is there a micro-chance of gaethje beating barbosa??

I don't think he plans on many more fights before retiring, in which case I just don't think he cares enough to adapt his game and develop some defense. It's a bummer, cuz the motherfucker is exciting as hell.thanks.

"They can charge me with whatever. I will show up," Shamrock told the station. "It is what it is. I'm not hiding in any way. It's an unfortunate and terrible thing. I'm an animal lover and I ran away crying. … It's an old dog – no one wants a 6 1/2, 7-year-old dog with a goofy hip."
Wow... who would've seen that coming!?
Hallowed Bob Ross would be a dope moniker.
Great performance by Peña, they did him wrong at the end though. Only one of the opponents corner man shook his hand and Cormier denying him the mic. Felt bad for the dude.
Yeah, guess it boils down to that.
I wasnt gonna say it but manPeterson may be losing this fight, but he still holds the title of WOAT tattoos in the UFC.
