“Ear muffs 🙉 I’m sorry was feeling ALIVE minutes after weight ins and ready to go. @hansmolenkamp caught me in rare form! @monsterenergy #moviequotes #teamamerica #Talledeganights” – TJ Dillashaw

TJ Dillashaw will enter tonight’s flyweight title fight on a four-fight win streak, his latest being a first-round TKO victory over former teammate turned bitter rival Cody Garbrandt at UFC 227 this past August.

“Killashaw” has not tasted defeat since January of 2016, when he suffered a controversial split-decision setback to Dominick Cruz.

Meanwhile, Henry Cejudo was also last seen in action at UFC 227. That evening in Los Angeles the former Olympic Gold Medalist scored a split-decision win over longtime flyweight kingpin Demetrious Johnson.

On Saturday night, Jon Jones defeated Stipe Miocic to successfully defend his UFC heavyweight championship.

Alex Pereira has given his thoughts on being bumped into the #3 slot by Jon Jones on the latest UFC pound-for-pound rankings. If there’s one thing we know to be true about Alex Pereira, it’s that he’s a pretty chilled out guy. In equal measure, he’s also one of the most dangerous fighters on the planet. He has already achieved some great things in combat sports, and in the world of mixed martial arts, he has established himself as a genuine superstar over the course of the last few years.

You won’t catch Jon Jones complaining about his new spot in the UFC’s official pound-for-pound rankings — but Dana White is another story.

He ultimately cemented that reputation with a dominant, third-round TKO win over former heavyweight king Stipe Miocic.
