Three reasons why TJ Dillashaw is a living legend

#2 He left Joe Rogan almost lost for words

TJ Dillashaw and Joe Rogan

In one of the most remarkable feats of his career, TJ Dillashaw's victory over Renan Barao at UFC 173 to win his first UFC Bantamweight Championship left UFC commentator Joe Rogan almost speechless!

Rogan, never one to usually be lost for words, was struggling for superlatives to describe Dillashaw's monumental performance.

Of Dillashaw's display, Rogan stated: "That was the greatest performance I have ever seen in my life!… You surpass all expectations tonight with this performance. This was just … stunning…. This was incredible…. T.J., this is one of the finest performances I have ever seen. The best performance — I’ll say it right now — this is the most spectacular performance I have ever seen against a guy in Barao who is easily one of the best pound-for-pound fighters on the planet. Congratulations on just a masterful work tonight. It was an honor calling this fight. Thank you very much, brother."

Every word Rogan finally managed to utter was true. There were no acceptable superlatives to describe Dillashaw's performance. It was legendary and deservedly earned him "fight of the night" and "performance of the night" honours.
