Tyler Jeffrey T.J. Dillashaw is an American mixed martial arts champion and UFC bantamweight champion. For 2018, his biography has 16 wins and 3 losses.

Tyler was born in the United States, a small town of Sonora in California, but soon after his birth, his parents Hal and Janice Dillashaw moved to Angels Camp, where the children of the future champion passed. The young man had two passions - football and freestyle wrestling. He became a member of the Bret Garth School team, and later, thanks to his sports hobbies, was able to enroll in the University of California, where he was awarded a scholarship.

Tyler's first sporting achievements date back to his school years: he entered the state-level competition twice and competed four times for children his age at the city level. At the university, the young man received the status of freshman of the year, setting a personal record.

In 2006, Dillashaw went to Ukraine to practice wrestling skills, where he lived and trained for a year. This gave him an incentive to his sports career, but then Tyler has not yet reached the international level and has not gained widespread fame.

Dillashaw thought about his career in MMA after graduation - he was invited to training by Juraj Feber, a former WEC champion. Tyler joined Team Alpha Male. As a professional fighter Dillashaw made his debut in March 2006, his opponent was the same newcomer King Sclavos. Developed wrestling skills helped the American to win the first victory by unanimous decision. After T.J., he recorded two more wins and accepted an invitation to season 14 of The Ultimate Fighter.

The initial episode earned Tyler a TKO win from Matt Jaggers, followed by wins against Roland Delorme and Dustin Pah, the latter of which earned him the status of the show's champion. T.J. Dillashaw signed a contract with THE UFC before he participated in The Ultimate Fighter. His debut fight as a member of the world's largest promotion took place in December 2011 - he met in a duel with John Dodson, but lost by TKO.

The second time he entered the UFC ring in 2012. It was a successful and beautiful fight, during which Tyler came in handy his wrestling skills: rival Valel Watson significantly exceeded him in size, but Dillashaw managed to transfer the fight to the floor and overcame the opponent with the usual techniques, the award by unanimous decision of the judges went to him.

Six months later, he celebrated his victory over Vaughan Lee by winning the sub-race in the first round. "Hard Nut" turned out to be for Dillashaw rival Renan Barao. By the time of the match, he was already an experienced firefighter, but unexpectedly for the fans gave the initiative to T.J. and lost. As a result, the American received not only the title of bantamweight champion, but also 2 additional awards - a sponsorship bonus and a prize for "Performance yesterday."

Renan said he wanted to take revenge, but on the day of the preliminary weigh-in landed in the hospital because of desperate attempts to lose weight by the scheduled date. Dillashaw had to go out against Joe Soto, whom he was able to knock out in the 5th round. Later, the meeting with Barao was postponed again, this time because of Tyler breaking a rib, but when the athletes met again in 2015, T.J. retained his title and won a confident victory.

In the same year, Dillashaw left Team Alpha Male. The reason was the disagreement, which resulted in the left of his coach Dwayne Ludwig. Tyler did not want to work without a main mentor and also announced his departure, provoking a sharp wave of discontent among former colleagues.

Cody Garbrandt was particularly disliked about him - in every interview he recalled T.J.'s departure and called him a traitor. In response, the athlete said that the group already had enough problems, and accused the team coaches that they are profiting from athletes.

The culmination of the conflict between Dillashaw and Garbrandt was their fight under the auspices of the UFC. The promotion took the chance and "promoted" the upcoming fight on the grounds of personal animosity between the athletes. The victory went to T.J., but Garbrandt lost with dignity, and in an interview after the fight said that he considers his opponent a bad man, but a great fighter.

In 2016, Tyler was defeated by Dominic Cruz, who he later called "the dark spot of his career." The rematch did not take place because of Cruz's decision to leave the UFC, but in 2018 he decided to resume his performances and meet T.J. in the ring again.

The athlete is married, his chosen name is Rebecca. The couple met online, with Tyler the first to write to the girl they liked. She didn't answer for a long time, but then she liked the photo on his page. The wedding with Rebecca was played in 2014, and three years later the first child was born. The couple keeps their privacy from prying eyes and rarely appears in public together, but T.J. willingly posts photos with his wife on his Instagram.

Rebecca Dillashaw graduated from the University of California with a degree in Communications and Management and took over the management of her husband's affairs. In the interview, she admitted that she never watches his fights and even fears to know the results, because he is too worried about Tyler, so after the competition he always calls her himself.

The athlete is 169 cm tall and weighs 61 kg. T.J. carefully monitors himself and does not appear in public without a neatly laid hairstyle. Like most MMA fighters, he is a fan of tattoo art - he has a sleeve on his forearm and shoulder. The last tattoo - griffin - Tyler made in honor of the victory over Cody.

In August 2018, the American athlete again met in the ring with Garbrandt, but he could not take revenge. The victory went to T.J. easily - he won by knockout in the 1st round. The desire to fight with Tyler expressed and Dominic Cruz, who returned to the ring after a 2-year break, but T.J. suddenly said that

According to Dillashaw, after a pause Dominic lost his athletic form and has to train a lot to make him a decent game in the match. Now the fighter trains hard, but is already thinking about what he will do at the end of his career in the UFC.
