MMAJunkie<\/a>). \u201cBut if T.J. beats him, does that give T.J. a title shot? It should absolutely give T.J. a title shot. Absolutely. But in the sense of the other way that I\u2019m looking at it, I don\u2019t know what this win really does for Sandhagen other than getting another marquee name added to his resume.\u201d<\/p>\nAlthough Sterling believes Dillashaw would get a title shot with a win, he doesn’t think the former champ will. Instead, he believes the time off will hinder Dillashaw and it will be Sandhagen getting his hand raised.<\/p>\n

\u201cT.J.\u2019s been suspended, out of competition for two years, he cheated,\u201d Sterling said. \u201cHe\u2019s been cheating for a very long time. Ask his teammates. This is something that has been disclosed to me years ago, and of course you don\u2019t want to be the whistle blower and not have any evidence, but the evidence has been his former teammates talking about it, and of course now being caught. I think it\u2019s pretty safe to say where there\u2019s smoke, there\u2019s fire, and he said at the press conference against Cody Garbrandt \u2018yeah right\u2019 when Garbrandt said, \u2018Bro, you were the one showing everyone how to do it,\u2019 and everyone just brushed it under the rug.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m just excited to see this fight. I think it\u2019s gonna be a good stylistic matchup. A guy who\u2019s so much taller, rangier, fights with so much calmness and now fighting with a little more stank in terms of brutality, trying to really hurt guys in there,” Sterling continued. “I think it\u2019s gonna be a very, very fun fight to watch. If I had to put my money on it, I gotta say Sandhagen gets the job done. These guys used to train together, and I do believe them formally training together gives him some type of confidence that he understands what he\u2019s dealing with going in there. If T.J.\u2019s truly off the stuff, I like Sandhagen\u2019s chances even better in this one.\u201d<\/p>\n
If Sandhagen wins and Sterling beats Yan in the rematch, perhaps Sandhagen doesn’t get the title shot as Sterling submitted him in 88 seconds a year ago. However, there’s no denying him that he would’ve earned a title shot with three straight wins.<\/p>\n
