It hasn’t been the best start to the year for former two-time UFC bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw.
Just two months after his knockout loss to Henry Cejudo at UFC Fight Night 143, Dillashaw tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs and has been suspended for one year by the New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC).
Dillashaw, 33, announced that he has voluntarily relinquished his bantamweight title and claims to be investigating his failed drug test. As of yet, it hasn’t been revealed what substance the former Team Alpha Male fighter tested positive for.
Dillashaw’s failed drug test came as a shock to the MMA community, and plenty of pro fighters reacted to the news on social media.
