As he walked to his corner after the first round, T.J. Dillashaw tried to make sense of what had happened. He’d just spent five minutes in the cage with Renan Barao , the man who was supposed to be the top 135-pound fighter in the world, and maybe – at least according to his boss – the pound-for-pound best in the sport . He’d also put that man flat on his back with a single punch, and he wasn’t sure what to make of it just yet.
