Joe Talks About TJ Dillashaw's Comeback Fight with Chad Mendes

I miss training with Dwayne like I'm that whole situation with Faber obviously Very very upsetting. Yeah, it is man, and I stayed out of the middle of it You know I have a ton of respect for Faber and I have a ton of respect for Dwayne as do I you know Yeah, I love both of those guys and sucked and you know I talked to Dwayne about it I talked to Faber about him like I know I can't do anything I don't know them well enough to get in the middle of it and arbitrate But I feel like the improvement that everybody was making under Dwayne was tangible. It was noticeable Yeah, it's like he came along and all sudden also everybody had this footwork. They're moving good the striking combination seemed to be improving I agree. Yeah TJ for sure Was the most he benefited the most he took to it probably the best for yeah like a duck to water. Yeah Yeah, they work perfect for TJ his style of wrestling his body style and his ability to I mean TJ is one of those guys that gets obsessed to and him and Dwayne just really meshed on that on that fact of notepad writing you know mapping everything out and TJ has that memory You know that kind of comes along with it where he can Remember all these different crazy combos and then get out there and actually perform it like yeah That takes a special athlete to be able to see that thing on paper train it and then actually hit it in a fight Wild thing about his fight with San Hagan was San Hagan had him in a fucking triangle Locked up and I was like man. I wonder if He had some like pointers on how to finish that better. That would have been it because it seemed Locked the fuck in I mean he went to through a through a knee right and then TJ takes him down and in the process of taking down He locks up fully locked up triangle early in the fight, and I was like man I feel like he's got this I thought TJ was gonna tap mm-hmm. Yeah, man. I mean That dude's a beast. I was worried for TJ going into that fight I mean that's a lot of people are like oh, I think TJ is gonna go in there and just destroy and I'm like like I Know the only guy who's ever really destroyed him was Was all Joe and all Joe took him down and choked him yeah, and Aljamaine's got some fucking nasty jiu-jitsu Mm-hmm. You know yeah, you know I Definitely knew this was gonna be a tough fight and it was a tough fight coming off of that long You know mm-hmm like TJ's not getting a tune-up fight like this is gonna make or break like show everyone TJ's back or TJ's gonna have to fight a couple times and get back, but it's close the decision as you're ever gonna say yeah I mean like you could you can make an argument that Sanhagen did more damage and you can make an argument that dill shot control the more mm-hmm I'm a damage guy. I lean towards damage always yeah, but Tj's ass fucking fight. It was close ass fight mm-hmm I guarantee they're gonna run it back. Oh they're gonna see that at least one more time Yeah, so well Unfortunately with TJ surgery. I mean he has like several major tears in that knee You really never know what a guy's like once you get your knee mangled like that because the pain Like it might inhibit training. It might become a problem. You know It's so hard to say on TJ's post. He said it happened at this part right here Here where his knee gets all twisted. Yeah, yeah, he'll hook right there. That's the heel hook. Yeah, so he was Yanking on that heel hook. Yeah, you could see it I mean go go back and by the way that is the worst kind of hill at the inside hill hook right there That's so nasty so TJ just didn't tap and he just tore his shit apart Mm-hmm. Yeah, you can see it there. He's keeping yeah, he's keeping his weight off at there for a second Yeah, I hear he falls to in the second round It's just well, I'm sure cuz his knee was fucking mangled already look at him stepping on it. Yeah, he's walking I guess I didn't notice that before but Yeah, he played it off Well, he really did a good job playing it off and and gutting it out because he was obviously in like some serious pain Mm-hmm. Yeah right there you got clipped out But part of getting dropped there was because he had no balance on that left leg.
