T.J. Dillashaw already believes he’s the greatest bantamweight in history, says UFC 280 will cement it

ABU DHABI – T.J. Dillashaw thinks after UFC 280 there will be no doubt that he’s the best bantamweight of all time.

Dillashaw (17-4 MMA, 13-4 UFC) challenges champion Aljamain Sterling (21-3 MMA, 13-3 UFC) in Saturday’s co-main event at Etihad Arena on Yas Island. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPNews and ESPN+.

If he’s victorious against Sterling, Dillashaw will become the 135-pound champion for a third time. With the likes of pioneer Urijah Faber retired and former two-time UFC bantamweight champ Dominick Cruz having lost three of his past five, Dillashaw plans on separating himself from the pack.
