‘Wait in Line Cheater’ – Henry Cejudo and Petr Yan Gang up on TJ Dillashaw after recent comments
Follow Us
TJ Dillashaw is ready to make his return to the Octagon as soon as his suspension is up in January next year. He reminded everyone that he never lost the belt which Henry Cejudo and Petr Yan held after him. However, both Yan and Cejudo fired back at Dillashaw for claiming that they were never the true champs of the division.
In a recent interview, Dillashaw cleared that he never lost the 135-pound belt. Both the subsequent champions, Henry Cejudo and Petr Yan, won the belt by defeating fighters who weren’t champions. Cejudo defeated Marlon Moraes while Yan overcame former featherweight champ Jose Aldo to capture the bantamweight gold.
Therefore, Dillashaw is adamant that his position at the top of the division is still intact. However, Yan and Cejudo beg to differ with the former Team Alpha Male member and even went after him on social media.

TJ Dillashaw can be just a win away from getting back into the title mix
The former bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw was one of the best fighters on the UFC roster. However, things went downhill for him after he dropped down to flyweight in search of a second belt. Not only did he lose the fight against Cejudo within the first minute, but he also tested positive for EPO in both pre and post-fight drug tests.

This led to the New York State Athletic Commission handing him a ban for one year retroactive from January 2019. Later on, USADA extended the ban for two years. Dillashaw accepted the ban and also took full blame for the failed drug test.

Consequently, his suspension will end next month. Having been away from the sport for two years, Dillashaw will have to take care of ring rust. On top of it, the bantamweight division is full of contenders who will be willing to fight a former champ in Dillashaw. One such contender is Cory Sandhagen, who is up to fight Dillashaw in his return.
