After a horrible ending to the bantamweight title fight, Former Bantamweight Champion TJ Dillashaw reacted to the incident in a shocking post. Dillashaw called out Sterling as the best actor since he thinks that Sterling acted his way that led to the DQ. Not only was Sterling called out, he also called out Yan a cheater too.
And the Oscar goes to @FakeMaster for Best Actor in a Title Fight and Petr Yan needs a crash course in the rules of the sport he was once champion in. Hey Petr now you’re a cheater too, bitch.

Most would agree that Dillashaw does not have the right to criticize fighters since he himself cheated by using EPO. Though Yan cheated, it is not as worse as what Dillashaw did. Anything can happen inside the Octagon, but Dillashaw cheated outside the octagon where he could have put his opponent in danger.
Dillashaw may also posted just to keep his name relevant. He never lost his bantamweight belt but was stripped because of using PEDs. He is without a doubt a talented fighter that could potentially become a champion again but the question has to be asked whether Dillashaw used PEDs in his other past fights.
Sterling also responded with Dillashaw’s smack talk by calling him out for testing positive. He hopes that Sandhagen who Sterling has a win over, demolishes Dillashaw. The real winners are actually the fans since the UFC just keeps on making big fights.
You cheated your entire UFC career and you have the balls to call someone an actor? You lost your manhood when you decided to inject yourself so that you actually compete.
I hope Sandhagen tools like he did to you in practices before. https://t.co/D9CWOcsc5e— Aljamain Sterling (@funkmasterMMA) March 7, 2021
One of the greatest bantamweights, Dominick Cruz slams Dillashaw. Cruz is also the fighter that took the belt against Dillashaw in their encounter. So he of all people knows what Dillashaw is like, and the current situation of the bantamweight division.
"That's just him exposing himself again, trying to make himself feel better for being a cheater" 💉

With the drama and buildup of the bantamweight division, it will surely make it one of the most exciting division in the UFC right now. It is a shame that most casual fans only like the divisions where the bigger fighters compete. Many overlooked the smaller division but in reality, there are just so many skilled fighters in the smaller weight division.
Hopefully the bantamweight division will be noticed by many since it is really a STACKED division in terms of talent and division. Cody Garbrandt, a former champion who is also coming off a win after three straight losses. Honestly, the bantamweight division is one of the most difficult division to predict on who will be the champion by the end of the year.
