TJ Dillashaw Says Umar Nurmagomedov Needs More Wins Before Title Shot

“Umar’s got to get some more wins,” Dillashaw said, arguing Sean O’Malley’s “star power” will jump him in line. Umar answered at UFC 324, sweeping Deiveson Figueiredo to move to 20-1 & log a second straight win since his lone loss to Merab at UFC 311 in January 2025. But Dillashaw wants another statement first, saying, “He’s got to do it in impressive fashion.”
