For months leading up to their title fight, UFC bantamweight Aljamain Sterling hasn’t been able to stop talking about T.J. Dillashaw’s history with performance-enhancing drugs, so it should come as no surprise that he’d go there to Dillashaw’s face.
With the two men sitting just across from each other during Thursday’s UFC 280 news conference in Abu Dhabi, Sterling wasted no time questioning what Dillashaw’s been up to when asked if he had anything to say to him directly.
“For some reason, I haven’t seen T.J. in any of the ‘Embedded’ episodes. That’s how he got caught last time,” Sterling said, referencing Dillashaw’s 2019 failed drug test for recombinant human erythropoietin (EPO). “I wonder if there’s something going on again that might be a little fishy, T.J.”
