T.J. Dillashaw Relinquishes UFC Title After 'Adverse Finding' In Drug Test

Ultimate Fighting Championship bantamweight champ T.J. Dillashaw stunned the MMA world on Wenesday morning with the revelation that he would be voluntarily giving up his belt in the wake of an "adverse finding" in his drug testing for UFC Fight Night 143.

In an Instagram post Wednesday morning, the 33-year-old stated, "To all my fans, I wanted to be the first to let you know that [the United States Anti-Doping Agency] and [New York State Athletic Commission] have informed me of an adverse finding in a test taken for my last fight. While words can't even begin to express how disappointed I am at this time, please know that I'm working with my team to understand what has occurred and how to resolve this situation as quickly as possible.
