Aljamain
Sterling really enjoyed punching T.J.
Dillashaw. 

Sterling defended his bantamweight title with a technical knockout
win over Dillashaw in 2022. Sterling recently said that punching
Dillashaw was the best moment of his career. While Sterling
respects Dillashaw’s skillset, his dislike for the former
bantamweight champion stems from his infamous drug testing
failures. Sterling notes that Dillashaw’s former teammate turned
foe, Cody
Garbrandt, had long been accusing him of cheating. While
Sterling had his doubts then, he is now free to speak his mind
since Dillashaw has been caught cheating.

‚He’s a Lying Cheat‘

“Best moment – probably punching T.J.
Dillashaw… I just know he’s a cheat,” Sterling told Home of
Fight. “He’s a lying cheat. ‘Oh no, I only got caught that time.’
Yeah, you only got caught that time. Your teammate outed you before
you fought him. Don’t get me wrong, I like T.J. in terms of
skillset, fun to watch, studied a lot of his games. But I always
heard the rumblings that he was cheating, but I couldn’t say
anything until he got caught. He got caught, so now I can say
everything I want to say.”

Dillashaw’s (17-5) fall from grace was one of the steepest in

UFC history. Dillashaw had three bantamweight title defenses
across two title reigns before he challenged Henry
Cejudo for the flyweight title in 2019. Dillashaw was knocked
out in just over half a minute and also failed a pre-fight drug
test. Dillashaw was handed a two-year suspension, retroactive to
the date of his fight against Cejudo. Dillashaw returned to
competition in 2021 and roped in a split decision win against
Cory
Sandhagen to earn a title shot against Sterling. Dillashaw hung
up his gloves following his loss against Sterling. While Dillashaw
is still considered to be among the best bantamweights in history,
his legacy will forever be marred by the PED use.
