LAS VEGAS — T.J. Dillashaw once was the top of the class in the men’s UFC bantamweight division, but after losing his belt to Dominick Cruz earlier this year in Boston, he wants another shot at the title.
Dillashaw will fight Raphael Assuncao on Saturday night at UFC 200, and if he wins, he likely will have the chance to reclaim his belt in the near future.
Dillashaw spoke during UFC 200 media day and discussed how he has been more comfortable flying under the radar now that he’s no longer the champion.
Watch Dillashaw’s full interview with NESN.com’s Michaela Vernava in the video above.
