Longtime featherweight contender Cub Swanson spoke out in support of his teammate T.J. Dillashaw ahead of his own bout this weekend at UFC Fight Night 151 in Ottawa.
Dillashaw relinquished the Ultimate Fighting Championship bantamweight belt in March, and was subsequently suspended by the New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC) for a year, for testing positive for recombinant human erythropoietin (EPO) prior to his fight with Henry Cejudo in January. The former champ was subsequently hit with a two-year ban from the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) for that offense, which superseded the NYSAC’s penalty.
