If Sean Strickland had his way, T.J. Dillashaw would not be competing at UFC 280 in Abu Dhabi let alone fighting Aljamain Sterling for the bantamweight championship.
Dillashaw was previously suspended for EPO (recombinant human erythropoietin) use in 2019 after testing positive for the banned substance following his 2019 TKO loss to Henry Cejudo.
Three years have passed since then, with Dillashaw serving a two-year suspension handed down by USADA, but Strickland doesn’t think the former two-time UFC bantamweight champion should be let off the hook.
The controversial middleweight unleashed an expletive-laden tirade against Dillashaw ahead of his UFC 280 matchup with Sterling, labeling him ‘the scum of the f-cking earth’ for his past use of performance-enhancing drugs.
