TJ Dillashaw Says He’s Trying To Get Healthy Again

February 6, 2018 | Posted by Joseph Lee

In an interview with MMA Junkie, TJ Dillashaw said he’s been dealing with injures and is trying to rehab to get better. Here are highlights:

On his health: “I’m doing some rehab here for the next seven, eight weeks, trying to get back to being healthy.”

On a possible fight with Cody Garbrandt: “They called me, and we were talking about (fighting at UFC 222 against Garbrandt). Anything’s possible, but it just depends. It’s definitely not something I want to do right now. I want to enjoy my time with my kid and heal up and get healthy. Obviously, if they need it desperately – that was something that was in talks – but it wasn’t the case. They weren’t able to do anything (for a bigger offer).”

On Garbrandt wanting another title fight: “(Garbrandt) thinks he can talk his way into another title fight like he already did. He didn’t deserve the first shot he got with Dominick Cruz. He did great with it, and he looked awesome. I don’t think that was the healthy Dominick Cruz that we’ve all seen, but I’m not going to let him (say) that he didn’t even deserve.”
