Ex-UFC Champion TJ Dillashaw on Positive PED Test: 'I Sold My Soul to the Devil'

UFC star T.J. Dillashaw was upfront about his use of an illegal substance during Monday's interview on Ariel Helwani's MMA Show.

"I made the mistake of wanting to do something that hadn't been done and I sold my soul to the devil," he said.

Dillashaw was already the bantamweight champion when he decided to drop down to the flyweight division, attempting to become the fourth person ever to hold two UFC division titles simultaneously. However, Henry Cejudo earned a first-round knockout to win a highly anticipated January fight.

The bigger drama came in April when Dillashaw tested positive for recombinant human erythropoietin, leading to a two-year suspension.
