UFC bantamweight title contender TJ Dillashaw has claimed champion Aljamain Sterling is "not threatening", and insists that the promotion struggle to put together highlight packages from his biggest wins.
The 36-year-old is bidding to reclaim the bantamweight title he never lost in the octagon over three years since he was forced to relinquish the belt after failing a drugs test. He earned a shot at the belt with by grinding out victory over Corey Sandhagen last year, and has battled back from a knee injury to be ready for Saturday's fight at UFC 280.
And he is not threatened at all by Sterling, whose title reign began with controversy after he won the belt by DQ against Petr Yan before dominating the Russian in their return fight. Both renowned grapplers, Dillashaw believes that Sterling isn't the type of opponent that worries rivals like a heavy-hitter would.
