Dillashaw seemed confident that he would win the belt from 'Funk Master', claiming that he is superior to Sterling in all aspects of MMA: "I absolutely have an advantage [over Sterling] in striking... I believe I have the advantage everywhere, right? I mean, he is really good once he gets on the back with control and things like that. But I haven't been impressed with his wrestling. He's a D3 wrestler — I have been wrestling D1... I think his takedown defense is under 50%... It is embarrassing that he's the champion and his striking is that bad. I mean he uses his awkwardness to his advantage but...you start throwing with him, he just cowers." Watch T.J.

He mentioned how T.J. Dillashaw's former teammates "outed" him for using banned drugs long before the fight against Cejudo, implying that he'd used them in other fights as well: "Whatever it was, you were on something. Even if it wasn't the same exact thing, you were definitely on something. Your teammates outed you years ago.
