American UFC fighter T.J. Dillashaw does not consider league bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling the best fighter in their weight class, even though he suffered an early loss in his fight with him.
I fought Aljamain Sterling, who I never considered and don't consider to be the best at bantamweight right now. I don't think he's dangerous and I was sure I was going to go out there and win even though I was injured... I just believe I'm the best. I was going to go out there and get my belt back.
