T.J. Dillashaw revealed that his recent retirement from mixed martial arts was a decision he was forced to make.
Throughout his decade-long career, T.J. Dillashaw has experienced the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. Once regarded as the best bantamweight in the world, T.J. Dillashaw’s reputation took a massive hit after USADA and the New York State Athletic Commission revealed that he had tested positive for recombinant human erythropoietin (EPO) prior to his bout with Henry Cejudo in 2019. Slapped with a two-year suspension, T.J. Dillashaw accepted his punishment and focused on coming back clean once eligible.
