Notability[edit]

I really hate to be the one to ask, but if individual fight cards for so-called "minor league" MMA promotions aren't notable, should guys who have never done anything but appear on Ultimate Fighter have their own Wikipedia page? Perhaps you should win a numbered UFC fight before you actually get a page. 68.225.171.64 (talk) 23:13, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

-can we just remove this conversation now? pretty irrelevant now, hahaha. If no one lese does soon, I can change the intro and details to reflect his new status as champion 107.214.136.181 (talk) 05:02, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fixing Record[edit]

Can anyone fix his record? Someone removed all his pre-UFC fights and I couldn't undo it...not wikipedia savvy enough to do it manually. PEiP (talk) 14:04, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Height[edit]

Pretty sure he is 5'6, not 5'3. Both UFC and sherdog have him listed as 5'6. He was clearly taller than Dodson, who is listed as 5'3107.214.136.181 (talk) 05:02, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on T.J. Dillashaw. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

Name[edit]

Instead of calling him "Tyler Jeffrey Dillashaw" at the beginning of the article, would it be worthwhile to write it as "Tyler Jeffrey 'T.J.' (or 'TJ') Dillashaw", in the same way that the article for Nate Diaz starts with "Nathan Donald 'Nate' Diaz"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by RysonPrince (talk • contribs) 22:38, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In his fight against Brandon Drucker, the name of the city is misspelled. It should be San Luis Obispo. 2601:647:4380:177F:85F:EC02:BA27:816A (talk) 04:33, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Shoulder injury[edit]

I have reinstated info relating to the shoulder injury Dillashaw suffered in the build up to the Sterling fight. This is clearly DUE as the weight of coverage of this instance has been broad. It is the main focus of most articles about this and is broadly supported by multiple sources. While injuries happen a lot, they do not usually receive the weight of coverage as this one did, hence why it should be included. NEDOCHAN (talk) 12:57, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As the central issue in the fight it makes sense to point out that TJ dislocated his shoulder. How could one argue that the article is better without this info?NEDOCHAN (talk) 01:19, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
