Conor McGregor has been hailed a "legend" by his former UFC rival TJ Dillashaw despite their bitter feud during The Ultimate Fighter in 2015.
The Irishman branded then-bantamweight champion Dillashaw a "snake in the grass" amid drama between he, his coach Duane Ludwig and teammate Urijah Faber, who was McGregor's rival coach on the show. And a brawl infamously broke out between the two teams after he suggested that Faber and Dillashaw, who at the time hadn't ended their relationship, should fight.
Now, Dillashaw is hoping to reclaim the bantamweight belt for a third time at the age of 36 after returning from suspension for using a banned substance. Meanwhile McGregor has come and gone from the world title scene at featherweight and lightweight, with the pair never really crossing paths again after that incident.
