Twitter Reacts To TJ Dillashaw’s USADA Suspension | UFC Betting Sites

TJ Dillashaw’s recent issues with the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) have really taken the mixed martial arts (MMA) world by surprise.

It was announced earlier today (Tues. April 9, 2019) that Dillashaw has received a two-year suspension from the anti-doping agency. The suspension was first reported by ESPN. Dillashaw tested positive for recombinant human erythropoietin (EPO) prior to his flyweight title fight against Henry Cejudo in January. “The Viper” lost that fight via controversial first-round TKO.

Interestingly, Dillashaw didn’t contest the suspension, and will sit out the full two years before being eligible to return. Check out how the MMA community reacted to the news on Twitter here:

In the aftermath of TJ Dillashaw's suspension, at least the bantamweight division is still in great shape. Cejudo vs. Moraes should be phenomenal. Sterling vs. Munhoz, Yan vs. Rivera, Raphael Assuncao, Dominick Cruz and Cody Garbrandt still out there. Division will be fine.

TJ Dillashaw went from being on the verge of becoming a double champ, rated as one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world, making a case as one of the all time greats to literally ruining his legacy from which I see no return. From the penthouse to the outhouse.

More details on TJ Dillashaw. On the surface, his legacy as one of the best bantamweights in UFC history takes a huge hit. Gonna be a long 24 months for the former two-time champion. https://t.co/MQefEF82dP

EPO … for a guy who relied on pushing the pace and won key fights late and in brutal fashion this is unforgivable. https://t.co/it1yHkmhCN
