"It's easy when you cheat to achieve your goal" - Fans claim "cheating snake" T.J. Dillashaw is on PEDs again by looking at shirtless photos of him ahead of UFC 280
Fans are throwing more PED accusations at T.J. Dillashaw after an Instagram post earlier this week.
Dillashaw is preparing to fight Aljamain Sterling for the bantamweight title at UFC 280. While potentially cutting weight, the former UFC champion posted a picture on Instagram looking shredded.
Fans quickly jumped to conclusions and accused Dillashaw of using PEDS again. Several fans aggressively insulted the no.2 ranked UFC bantamweight, with some saying:
“Its easy when you cheat to achieve your goals. Fingers crossed this cheating little rat gets KOd or choked out fast”
“Once a cheater always a cheater. PERIOD!!!!”
“Wonder where all those bumps on his stomach r from”
“EPO seems to be in full effect, just like before”
“He's gonna pop again”
Dillashaw’s legacy was tarnished when he received a two-year suspension for a failed PED test. After serving his suspension, the former bantamweight champion returned in 2021 with a split-decision win against Cory Sandhagen to earn a title shot at UFC 280.

Aljamain Sterling believes T.J. Dillashaw is still using PEDs
Random MMA fans are not the only ones accusing T.J. Dillashaw of using PEDs again. Bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling has made heavy accusations towards The Ultimate Fighter 14 runner-up.
During an interview with TMZ Sports, ‘Funk Master’ had this to say about his UFC 280 opponent being clean:
"Hell no! That guy's a little weasel man. 100% man. That guy knows the ins and outs of the whole thing. He didn't get caught by USADA, he got caught by the New York State Athletic Commission. There's a big discrepancy in that. I know they've tested him a bunch but if they ain't testing him for the gear, then what's the point."
Sterling vs. Dillashaw has evolved from an intriguing title fight to a potential war between rivals. ‘Funk Master’ is the betting favorite, but underestimating the California native isn’t recommended with his five-round experience. Don’t be shocked if the bantamweight showdown steals the show at UFC 280.
