Former UFC bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw recently teamed up with controversial streamer N3on for a training session in the gym. A short clip from the session was posted on X by @blondedmma.

In the clip, N3on visibly struggles to perform a squat, despite Dillashaw giving him instructions. The former UFC bantamweight champion initially appeared to be in disbelief, but then burst into laughter and said:

"You're not real, you're f***ing lying, dude."

Check out the video below:

N3on has mostly grabbed the headlines in the MMA world for the wrong reasons. UFC CEO Dana White banned him from attending UFC 296 because he said he would jump former U.S. president Donald Trump during a live stream. The streamer was also jumped by ex-UFC fighter Nate Diaz's teammates for controversial remarks he had made in the press conference ahead of the Diaz-Masvidal boxing match.


Video of T.J. Dillashaw slamming N3on on the mat went viral

T.J. Dillashaw and N3on also engaged in a sparring session. A video of Dillashaw slamming N3on on the mat went viral and drew vivid reactions from fight fans on social media.

In the short clip posted by @HappyPunch on X, N3on proposed to Dillashaw that they pretend like UFC announcer Bruce Buffer was doing pre-fight introductions. As soon as he approached the former UFC bantamweight champion, Dillashaw slammed picked him up and slammed to the mat.

Check out the video below:

Fan reactions to the video were largely focused on Dillashaw's failed drug test in 2019. Dillashaw tested positive for EPO in a drug test conducted for his flyweight title fight against Henry Cejudo. Prior to testing positive, he was arguably at the peak of his powers, and went down to flyweight to face Cejudo and attempt to become a two-division champion.

After testing positive for EPO, he was handed a two year suspension and was forced to relinquish the bantamweight title he held at the time. Unfortunately for Dillashaw, he would never reclaim the belt, and ended up retiring after a TKO loss to Aljamain Sterling.
