After months of back-and-forth banters, the UFC bantamweight title fight between current champion Aljamain Sterling and ex-titleholder T.J. Dillashaw is on the verge of happening. Sources close to the situation told MMA Junkie that the company is targeting the said matchup to headline UFC 279.
As for the venue, MMA Junkie reports that Boston and Atlanta are the top two choices. The UFC has yet to make an official announcement.
The 36-year-old Dillashaw, who spent two years of his career on the sidelines after testing positive for EPO, returned to the Octagon in July 2021 against Cory Sandhagen.
