Former UFC bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw doesn't have much sympathy for José Aldo after he came up short in Salt Lake City this past weekend.

While the Brazilian immediately forged a path back into the rankings at 135 pounds by getting the better of Jonathan Martinez, Mario Bautista was able to spoil his plans for a late-career title shot in Utah.

The 33-year-old fell on the right side of a split decision verdict, a result that proved controversial. Many gave the nod to Aldo after determining that Bautista didn't do enough with his control against the cage.

UFC CEO Dana White was among those questioning the two judges who leant the way of Bautista. One of the division's former titleholders, however, saw no issue with the result...

During a recent episode of the JAXXON PODCAST, Dillashaw reflected on the events that unfolded at UFC 307, including the main card clash in the weight class he formerly ruled over.

Dillashaw differed from many with his take on Aldo vs. Bautista. He insisted that the ex-featherweight kingpin could have done much more to avoid granting Bautista such a long period of control in round three, which ultimately proved to be the difference.

It surprises me...there's techniques like this that (Aldo) doesn't like — get off the cage," Dillashaw said. "The loss for him, like with the fight cards, they thought Aldo should've won. I don't know. He kept himself there (against the cage). Like, I'm not too mad. He lost the fight himself.

With his UFC 307 loss marking the first bout on a new multi-fight deal with MMA's leading promotion, Aldo will likely look to rebound and revive his ongoing ambitions inside the Octagon soon enough.
