Disgraced former UFC bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw has spoken in an interview for the first time since being served with a two-year ban after testing positive for EPO.
Dillashaw relinquished his bantamweight title in March after USADA found “adverse findings” in a test stemming from his January loss to Henry Cejudo. It was later confirmed the finding was EPO, and Dillashaw was handed a two-year ban from USADA.
Talking to ESPN about the failed drug test, Dillashaw said he only did EPO to cut weight for the fight.
“I’m not mad I did it, because I don’t think I could have taken the fight,” Dillashaw said.
