T.J. Dillashaw needs to do one thing first and foremost: prove his win over Renan Barao wasn't a fluke. Yes, he defended the bantamweight title against Joe Soto, but he needs a fight against someone other than a virtually unknown former Bellator champ to prove that he belongs among the elite. Another injury to Dominick Cruz has really set the division back, so Dillashaw may wind up fighting Barao again. If he wins, he'll be set for stardom for some time, as it's unlikely team mate Urijah Faber will be willing to fight him.
