In another bloody, back-and-forth bout at UFC Vegas 32, former bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw had a successful return following his two-year layoff. After 25 hard-fought minutes, he picked up an important split decision win against Cory Sandhagen. On Twitter, pro fighters reacted to the match.
I picked Sandhagen to win but I really don’t know. Is Dillashaw finally competing clean? Has his run since his Dodson loss really been suped up as his former teammates have said in the past? Either way both have serious skills and I’m paying attention! #UFCVegas32

Personally I would stop this if I was TJ corner … I wouldn’t let him fight the 3rd

Unless TJ can throw those hooks in from the back I don’t think he can finish Sandhagen on the ground. #UFCVegas32

If Sandhagen throws some elbows after that flying knee, it could be a a bad night for TJ #UFCVegas32

TJ not a BJJ threat and he knows that I guess but you’re giving up back control and TDs to the judges

TJ has world-class head movement . @ufc

But anyway Sanhagen is a real deal
He is a problem for anyone in division— khabib nurmagomedov (@TeamKhabib) July 25, 2021
I think the difference was the wrestling and cage control. Both of these dudes have incredible striking. I’ll watch both of them fight every single time. Thanks for the show boys ✊
