T.J. Dillashaw fights for the UFC bantamweight title this weekend at UFC 280. Standing in his way, at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, is reigning champ Aljamain Sterling.
Dillashaw makes his way back into the title picture after a close win over Cory Sandhagen. That win came after a lengthy suspension stemming from a positive test for the banned substance EPO.
During the build-up to UFC 280, Sterling has said that he assumes Dillashaw is still using performance-enhancing drugs. In August he said “once a cheater, always a cheater”, referring to Dillashaw.
MMA Fighting asked Dillashaw about Sterling’s PED comments.
