Former UFC champ Demetrious Johnson hopes T.J. Dillashaw can move past failed drug test

Following his devastating first-round knockout loss to Henry Cejudo and subsequent failed drug test, T.J. Dillashaw’s reputation has taken a battering these past couple of months.

Former UFC flyweight champion turned ONE FC contender Demetrious Johnson, however, isn’t so quick to jump on the hate bandwagon.

Speaking as a guest on The Ariel Helwani MMA Show, ‘Mighty Mouse’ brushed off Dillashaw’s loss to Cejudo and said the former two-time bantamweight champ will bounce back from his failed drug test.

“At the end of the day for TJ, he went down to fight Henry Cejudo and I felt that fight could have gone either way,” Johnson said, per MMA Mania’s Adam Guillen Jr.
