“It annoys me a little that TJ is considered one of the greatest fighters of all time in our weight class, but at the same time he dishonestly achieved everything. Still, defeating him is a big deal. I hope I can "strangle" him. This would be the ideal situation. A very sweet victory, because he says that I am not a dangerous fighter. I'm not going to do the math here, but I like my odds against Dillashaw. I know that he works hard, but let him not forget that there will be a dog in front of him who works even harder.
Recall that the confrontation between Sterling and Dillashaw will be held on October 22 in Abu Dhabi.
