The current UFC bantamweight kingpin, Dillashaw (16-3 MMA), weighed in at a remarkable 124.6 pounds for his highly anticipated super fight with Cejudo.

That fight will take place later this evening at UFC Brooklyn, which airs live on ESPN+.

Minutes after making weight for a bout that will serve as his flyweight debut, TJ Dillashaw shared the following NSFW video on his official Instagram page.

“Ear muffs 🙉 I’m sorry was feeling ALIVE minutes after weight ins and ready to go. @hansmolenkamp caught me in rare form! @monsterenergy #moviequotes #teamamerica #Talledeganights” – TJ Dillashaw

TJ Dillashaw will enter tonight’s flyweight title fight on a four-fight win streak, his latest being a first-round TKO victory over former teammate turned bitter rival Cody Garbrandt at UFC 227 this past August.

“Killashaw” has not tasted defeat since January of 2016, when he suffered a controversial split-decision setback to Dominick Cruz.

Meanwhile, Henry Cejudo was also last seen in action at UFC 227. That evening in Los Angeles the former Olympic Gold Medalist scored a split-decision win over longtime flyweight kingpin Demetrious Johnson.
