T.J. Dillashaw responds to Aljamain Sterling
Aljamain Sterling settled the score against Petr Yan. He beat the former champion fair and square. In their first clash, the fans did not feel that the status quo was correct as the current champion did not really beat his opponent via competency rather he beat him via the consequences of the match.
However, unlike the first encounter, Aljamain swept out a clean split decision victory at the co-main event of UFC 273. Sine, the fight Aljamain has been relishing his victory and is in a state of contentment ever since. He has gained over 40lbs since his weigh-in where he publicly stepped on the scale at 135lbs.
“Look at this bantamweight! That’s a sick, sick, man! ? Exactly 1 week after my fight. Wow…”

Aljamain Sterling gives his outlook on TJ Dillashaw and his career
T.J. Dillashaw has only tested positive for banned substances once. However, one is too much for abating one’s reputation as a professional athlete, especially in a sport so scrutinized like this. To cite a precedent, one can witness the career of Jon Jones. He was considered one of the Goats, however, post his testing positive, one of the major arguments brought against him to be considered the greatest of all time in this sport is the fact that he hasn’t been a clean fighter in the past.
This has definitely brought a black eye to his legacy. Coming back to Sterling, on ESPN MMA‘s DC & RC Show, Sterling revealed what he thought of Dillashaw’s career. He said, “I think before his Jon Dodson fight, I think he was kinda regular, and then after that, he kinda turned a corner like really, really quick. I don’t know, man, his teammates outed him when he fought Cody Garbrandt.”
“He said, ‘You showed the team how to do it.’ The media brushed it under the rug and it’s there for anyone who wants to listen to it. So you’re trying to tell me this is the only time he’s done it? Your teammates just threw you under the bus, bro! So you can’t tell me anything that that guy has competed clean. His entire legacy to me is tainted,” Sterling concluded.
