TJ Dillashaw - Consistently a top performer in the Octagon

TJ Dillashaw doesn't just rack up the wins in UFC; he does so in hugely impressive fashion.

His first "performance of the night" award came when he terminated Renana Barao's 32 fight undefeated streak at UFC 173; this is when he also secured his second "fight of the night" award following his first, in his loss to Raphael Assuncao at UFC Fight Night in Brazil on October 9, 2013.

Dillashaw's first title defence against Joe Soto earned him his second "performance of the night" award at UFC 177 and earned his third consecutive performance bonus when he impressively defeated Barao in a re-match.

Dillashaw lost the title to Dominick Cruz on a tight split-decision on January 17, 2016, where his only consolation was his second "fight of the night" bonus.

Dillashaw's two most recent fights where he won the Bantamweight title again at UFC 207 and successfully defended it at UFC 227 saw the imperious fighter collect two more consecutive "performance of the night" awards.

Dillashaw isn't just a Champion; he is consistently one of the greatest MMA performers of all time. A true living legend.
