UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling has made some serious accusations against T.J. Dillashaw. According to 'Funk Master', Dillashaw has been cheating throughout his UFC career by taking performance-enhancing drugs.
The 33-year-old made the claims in a recent interview with Sky Sports. Sterling noted past remarks from Dillashaw's own teammates to support his allegation:
"I'm fighting the guy I have watched for so many years... I respect everything the guy has done, but I know he's been cheating his entire UFC career. It's been disclosed by his own teammates. It's not me blowing smoke. His own teammates outed him."

After his fight with Henry Cejudo in January 2019, Dillashaw tested positive for PEDs and as a result, was handed a two-year suspension.
The former bantamweight champion returned to action in July 2021 and took on Cory Sandhagen in a five-round fight. In a highly competitive contest, the California native edged a split decision victory.
Dillashaw is now set for the chance to regain the bantamweight title as he is scheduled to take on Sterling in the co-main event of UFC 280.

Demetrious Johnson believes Aljamain Sterling will emerge victorious against T.J. Dillashaw at UFC 280.

The former UFC flyweight champion said that Sterling is aware of his strengths and thus represents a dangerous opponent for Dillashaw.
"The biggest thing is I give the edge to Aljamain Sterling. The only reason why is because I feel like when I look at him, he seems healthy, he seems happy, he's embracing this backpack role. And when you see an athlete embracing a certain role, it makes them more dangerous."
