UFC Bantamweight Champion TJ Dillashaw and former divisional champion Cody Garbrandt are facing off once again at UFC 227.
The two have not been friends for quite a long time now, going back and forth during press conferences, on social media and through other means.
These two rivals got into another battle on Twitter recently, with Garbrandt not only accusing Dillashaw of PED usage, but the challenger even names the substance he believes Dillashaw is using.

Garbrandt accuses Dillashaw of using a substance known as EPO, with Bloody Elbow providing the following description of the substance:
“Your red blood cells work like magnets in relation to the oxygen you take in; part of your RBC’s contain hemoglobin, an iron molecule that binds to that oxygen. The more RBC’s your body produces then, the more oxygen your body can hold. This is why it’s so popular and critical in endurance sports like cycling.”
UFC 227 takes place on Saturday, August 4 from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California with TJ Dillashaw and Cody Garbrandt headlining. Fightful is providing live coverage of the event, with a post-show podcast to follow.
