Former UFC bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw is optimistic<\/a> he’ll reclaim the division’s title, but Aljamain Sterling isn’t buying it.<\/p>\n

Dillashaw reigned over the UFC bantamweight division from late 2017 to early 2019. After a loss to Henry Cejudo at flyweight, however, he tested positive for the banned substance EPO, vacated his title, and was suspended by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA).<\/p>\n

While Dillashaw is still serving his suspension, he’s confident he’ll eventually reclaim the bantamweight title he once owned.<\/p>\n

The former champ shared his optimism on Instagram over the weekend.<\/p>\n
