TJ Dillashaw made his highly anticipated Octagon return in last weekend\u2019s UFC Vegas 32 main event for a bantamweight scrap with Cory Sandhagen.<\/p>\n

Dillashaw (17-4 MMA) had not competed since January of 2019, where he suffered a first round knockout loss to then flyweight champion Henry Cejudo and was handed a two year suspension due to his use of the banned substance EPO.<\/p>\n

Saturday\u2019s fight between TJ Dillashaw and Cory Sandhagen proved to be an absolute war. The bantamweight standouts proceeded to go toe-to-toe for twenty-five straight minutes in what was a thrilling back and forth affair. Dillashaw appeared to injure his knee in the opening round of the contest, but fought through the adversity to go on to earn a split decision<\/a> victory from the judges in attendance.<\/p>\n

Now back at home, TJ Dillashaw took to his official Facebook<\/a> page where he let his fans know that he will be headed for surgery in the coming days.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo place like home, this right here brings me all the joy I need.\u00a0Went in for a mri today, found out that I suffered a displaced Bucket Handle tear of the Lateral Meniscus and a Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL) rupture at the end of the first round landing ground and pound while being lazy in a compromised position.\u201d TJ Dillashaw revealed. \u201cThe good news is that these tears are repairable and will have a very speedy recovery. Going in for surgery in the next couple days. Loved being in the cage even though I had to push through some adversities to grit out the win. Thank you for the support, it\u2019s belt season now. 🏆\u201d<\/p>\n

It is expected that TJ Dillashaw\u2019s next fight will come against the winner of Petr Yan vs Aljamain Sterling 2, which is set for UFC 267 on October 30.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
