Former bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw admitted that “it’s hard not to hate yourself a little bit” while discussing his two-year suspension from the United States Anti-Doping Agency for the first time.
Appearing on Chael Sonnen’s You’re Welcome podcast, Dillashaw claimed that it had been hard to show his face in public while cornering his teammate Juan Archuleta for his Bellator 222 bout on the back of his failed test and subsequently vacating his UFC title.
“It’s been the darkest time of my life and it’s been the best,” Dillashaw told Sonnen.
