Aljamain Sterling is now the undisputed UFC bantamweight champion and he has plenty of options next for him. Urijah Faber recently spoke out on who should fight for the title next and he went with his old nemesis, TJ Dillashaw.

TJ Dillashaw came back from a two-year suspension after failing a drug test in early 2019. He came back to the UFC in July and beat Cory Sandhagen by decision to become a title contender at bantamweight.

Urijah Faber recently spoke to MMAFighting and explained why TJ Dillashaw should be next for the UFC bantamweight title shot. Aljamain Sterling showed interest in the fight as well when he called him out after beating Petr Yan.

“I don’t think that T.J. needs to show that he’s not there yet, Cory Sandhagen could very easily be the champ, or a title contender himself. He’s an amazing fighter, they had a close fight and some people thought Sandhagen won. Right now, for relevancy, I think T.J. vs. ‘Aljo’ is the fight to make, and then Aldo gets the winner of that. I think a T.J. vs. Aldo fight would be huge as well, but you don’t have the hunk of metal on the line so it’s dulled down a little bit, and then Aldo lost to Petr Yan, so I think the story is still a T.J. vs. ‘Aljo’ fight, or an Aldo-’Aljo’ fight because Aldo is somebody that has taken that loss from Yan and it really lit a fire and he’s looked better than he ever has, so I’d like to see that, too.”

“I would say T.J. [gets the shot],” Faber said.
