Tidigare idag meddelande bantamviktsmästaren T.J. Dillashaw att han fastnat i en dopningskontroll och lämnade frivilligt ifrån sig bältet.
Det positiva testet kommer från tiden innan hans titelmatch mot flugviktsmästaren Henry Cejudo
Cejudo har nu uttalat sig om händelsen, via Ariel Helwani:
Just spoke to @HenryCejudo. (Actually woke him up and informed him of the news.) His initial reaction to the news: pic.twitter.com/KcLxGIgwQb

I feel bad for him. Obviously, you have your exceptions out there. Some people have been wrongly accused in the past. But people like Lance Armstrong and Marion Jones, and I’ve looked up to her in the past, they have to live with the regret and the dishonesty for the rest of their lives. I honestly feel bad for them.
I want to reserve judgement, but I also want to say I never wish to […] anyone who uses PEDs again. There’s no place for that in MMA. This isn’t baseball or basketball. This is another human being with four ounce gloves hitting another human being.
Cejudo segrade mot Dillashaw via knockout i första ronden under Fight Night 143 i januari och försvarade sitt flugviktsbälte.
