In addition, to Brazilian fighters failing the USADA tests, they also discuss TJ Dillashaw’s last fight, calling him another ‘Juice Head’.

Dillashaw’s fight against Aljamain Sterling was controversial. Additionally, when he made the decision to suddenly retire, many felt he was going the Conor McGregor route and would eventually return.
