T.J. Dillashaw, the former UFC bantamweight champion, recently shared an update on his recovery from a severe shoulder injury that has plagued him for years. Appearing on The Casual MMA Podcast, Dillashaw revealed the ongoing issues with his left shoulder, which has undergone multiple surgeries. Despite years of rehabilitation, the damage has left him unable to lift his elbow above shoulder height.

Reflecting on his condition, T.J. Dillashaw stated, “It doesn’t hurt, it just doesn’t work. Long story short, no, I will not be coming back.” This marks a definitive end to his career, as he officially retires from mixed martial arts.

T.J. Dillashaw’s Shoulder Injury

T.J. Dillashaw’s journey took a toll after a shoulder dislocation during his last bout against Aljamain Sterling in October 2022 at UFC 280. Numerous surgeries followed, but his recovery has fallen short of the functionality required for a comeback.

Despite the challenges, Dillashaw remains grateful for his career and the support from his fans. He shared a surprising story behind the fight that made him the most anxious in his career, revealing that his toughest mental battle was a short-notice title defense against Joe Soto at UFC 177.

As he steps away from the Octagon, Dillashaw looks forward to a new chapter in his life, focusing on his health and spending time with his family.
