Earlier this month, former UFC bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw was one of several high-profile UFC fighters who emerged as part of the MMA Athletes Association<\/a>. In addition to Dillashaw, former UFC welterweight kingpin Georges St-Pierre, former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez, and top ranked fighters Donald Cerrone and Tim Kennedy all announced their involvement. <\/p>\n

\"mmaaa\"<\/p>\n

Leading up to Dillashaw’s UFC 207 fight with John Lineker<\/a>, many expected the winner to receive a bantamweight title shot against the winner of the co-main event scrap between Dominick Cruz and Cody Garbrandt. Despite that, Sean Shelby stated this week that the winner isn’t necessarily guaranteed a title shot<\/a>. Now, ahead of the fight, the former champ is wondering if his involvement with the MMAAA may come back to bite him. <\/p>\n

He spoke to MMAJunkie<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt does scare me,\u201d he told MMAjunkie Radio. \u201cIt\u2019s definitely in the back of my head.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOther than getting avoided for title shots, I have no proof of being screwed over,\u201d he said. \u201cIf it happens again, we\u2019ll have to figure something out. I\u2019ll have to make a bigger stink in the media that they are treating fighters wrongly. It\u2019s just not professional. This is a sport. There shouldn\u2019t be any grudges on who I\u2019m managed by. It\u2019s not my fault, to punish me just because you don\u2019t like my management.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In regards to his upcoming fight with Lineker, Dillashaw plans to let his fighting do the talking:<\/p>\n

\"former<\/p>\n

\u201cI think I always want to make a statement, no matter who I\u2019m fighting,\u201d he said. \u201cI want to go out there and entertain. I\u2019m not going to go out of my comfort zone and possibly get too crazy and lose a fight. But no matter what happens, as long as I beat John Lineker, I\u2019m making a statement. I will finish the guy.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
