After his shoulder did pop out in round one, his coaches helped get it back into its socket between rounds one and two. However, it dislocated yet again in round two, which eventually resulted in his TKO loss. T.J. Dillashaw suggested that he'd previously headed into fights with similar shoulder injuries, but this one was slightly worse. UFC president Dana White later asserted that Dillashaw should've informed the promotion regarding his injury. Meanwhile, Dillashaw has insinuated that he was confident about competing and winning despite the injury. Dillashaw claimed that the injury worsened three weeks out from the fight and it would have been difficult for him to withdraw at the time. Dillashaw is expected to undergo surgery on his left shoulder -- his second surgery on that shoulder and third shoulder surgery overall since 2019. While the surgery date hasn't been finalized, it'll likely take place next month, and he'll probably not compete for an entire year. Addressing his comeback timeline and desire to reclaim the bantamweight title, Dillashaw stated: "Another year... Nine months until I can start training rough and tough, and then making sure everything is healed up. I've had shoulder surgery before and I'd say another year, maybe, to compete. Either a year to compete, or a year to get back to a training camp." Video: TJ Dillashaw () gives background on shoulder, explains reasons for not pulling out of UFC 280, discusses next move.
