T.J. Dillashaw expects UFC title shot upon return from USADA suspension

It’s been awhile since we last saw T.J. Dillashaw in action. After a successful bantamweight run, beating Renan Barao, defending his title two times, and then losing to Dominick Cruz in 2016, Dillashaw bounced back and took the crown from Cody Garbrandt in colorful fashion. He then fought and lost the flyweight title to Henry Cejudo. In addition to the soap opera with Team Alpha Male, he tested positive for EPO following the Cejudo loss, and recieved a two-year suspension from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency.

According to Dillashaw, a title shot will be his first bout back.
