Back in late March, former UFC Bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw stunned the MMA world by relinquishing his title and revealing that USADA had found adverse findings in his drug test before his flyweight title match against Henry Cejudo at UFC Fight Night Brooklyn.
Earlier today, The United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) announced that Dillashaw has accepted a two year suspension after testing positive for a substance known as recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO). Check out the press release issued by USADA on

Dillashaw won’t be eligible to fight again until January 18, 2021. The former UFC Bantamweight champion has not commented on the suspension at the moment.
In terms of the Bantamweight title, Henry Cejudo earned a shot at the championship when he defeated Dillashaw via knockout in 32 seconds into the first round (which has now been overturned to a no contest). The Flyweight champion will now fight Marlon Moraes at UFC 238, who’s on a four-fight win streak, previously defeating Raphael Assunção, Jimmie Rivera, Aljamain Sterling, and John Dodson.
