A victory over current undisputed UFC bantamweight champion, Aljamain Sterling next weekend for former two-weight division champion, T.J. Dillashaw would land the Angels Camp native as the first three-time titleholder at bantamweight in the promotion. And according to him, would score him GOAT status at 135lbs as a result.
Scheduled to co-headline UFC 280 next weekend on ‘Fight Island’ in Abu Dhabi, UAE, Dillashaw will compete for the undisputed bantamweight title against Uniondale native, Sterling – with the latter looking to retain his crown and secure his second championship knockback.
Last time out, Dillashaw headlined against common-opponent, Cory Sandhagen back in July of last year, defeating the Colorado native in a close, split decision victory.
Dillashaw returned from a two-year retroactive USADA suspension in his win against Sandhagen, after he tested positive for erythropoietin (EPO) following a January 2020 knockout loss to Henry Cejudo in his pursuit for flyweight gold.
Along with past opponent, Dominick Cruz, Dillashaw is the only other two-time undisputed bantamweight champion in the history of the division. And according to the Duane Ludwig trainee, a win over Sterling would, in turn, solidify his claim as the greatest bantamweight of all time.
“When I’m champ again it’s going to be great,” T.J. Dillashaw told ESPN during a recent interview. “I never left. I never lost my belt in this weight class. Yeah, I was stripped, but I never actually physically lost it. People forget how dominant I was because I hadn’t been in there. I hadn’t been performing. I hold a lot of records in the bantamweight division and just because of the time off, they forget.”
“So I’m going to have to remind them all who the best is, who the best pound-for-pound is, and that 135 pound GOAT, I’m coming for it,” T.J. Dillashaw explained.
During his Octagon tenure, Dillashaw has defeated the likes of Renan Barao, Raphael Assuncao, John Lineker, Cody Garbrandt, and the aforenoted, Sandhagen.

‘Funk Master’ Aljamain Sterling will be looking to defend his bantamweight title at UFC 280 against the former champion T.J. Dillashaw. Dillashaw was stripped of the title in 2019 and suspended from MMA due to testing positive for recombinant human erythropoietin (EPO). Sterling thinks that Dillashaw is still on it, but will be able to beat him regardless.
In an interview with MMA Fighting, the undisputed world champion explained:
“I already made peace with it that I’m going to be fighting a guy (T.J. Dillashaw) that’s more than likely — if there were odds I would say about 90 per cent this guy is finding another way to cheat, even if it’s some type of microdosing or however that stuff works. He’s willing to put more time into that than just do things the right way.“
Sterling adds that fighting someone who is on some form of performance-enhancing drugs is just business as usual for a titleholder. He continued:
“I already made peace with that, there’s a chance that I’m going to be fighting a guy that’s already souped up. I think a lot of guys I fought in the past have been on some s*** anyways so this isn’t going to be any different.”
The 33-year-old ‘Funk Master’ Aljamain Sterling is on a seven-fight win streak against top-ranked opponents in one of the UFC’s most competitive divisions. Most recently, he earned a split-decision victory against Russia’s Petr Yan.
Dillashaw has had one fight since his return from suspension. He took on the top-ranked and dangerous Cory Sandhagen in what became a five-round war. With Dillashaw taking a decision victory, he now has the opportunity to reclaim the throne he formerly sat upon.
The Serra-Longo-trained Aljamain Sterling knows the threat that the former champion poses in this fight. Even if his opponent is on some form of performance-enhancing drug, ‘Funk Master’ has a game plan ready. In the same interview, he added:
“The only thing I have to worry about is to make sure my cardio is going to be more than extraordinary just so I can keep the pace. Because I know this guy is a little weasel that’s going to find any way to get an advantage. He can say whatever he wants but he knows deep down inside how long he’s been doing all that cheating for, and his teammates outed him. At the end of the day, it’s just going to be the better man that day and if he’s got to be the better man by using the supplements and all this other stuff, that’s on him. I know my hands are clean.”
Aljamain Sterling and TJ Dillashaw are booked to fight for the bantamweight crown at UFC 280 on October 22.
