TJ Dillashaw Says Urijah Faber Crossed The Line After Recent Comments

In an interview with MMA Junkie, TJ Dillashaw spoke about his belief that Urijah Faber’s recent comments Dillashaw, suggesting he used PEDs, crossed the line. Here are highlights:

On the UFC 199 fight between Faber and Cruz: “It was kinda how I expected it to go down. I knew that Cruz’s footwork and feints and movement was going to be too much for Faber. He’s a very flat-footed fighter and hasn’t been making any gains. He’s kinda been the same fighter for the last ten years. I knew that Cruz was going to pick him apart.”

On if Faber will get another title shot: “Yeah, I definitely don’t think he’s going to get the belt. He might get another shot. Who knows? I don’t really know. He’s going to have to work his way back up, which I think is going to be really hard in this division. You’ve got a lot of tough kids in the weight class. I think it’s going to be tough to get back up there. He’s towards the end of his career. He’s already done the right things in looking to what he should do next. He’s already set himself up pretty. He’s a smart guy when it comes to business.”

On Faber’s PED comments: “It’s just crazy for me to say that because I didn’t think there’d be any time in my life ever that’d I’d be not only rooting against Faber – especially against Cruz – but he just crossed the line, man. He stepped the boundaries with the stuff he said, the kind of person he became. Like I said, it was childish and it actually kinda hurt my feelings, man. I really don’t feel like I’ve done anything to deserve it, just because I’m training elsewhere and following my career and doing what I think is best for myself. It’s kinda crazy for him to badmouth me. Also for him to come out with some outlandish s–t to say to me and Cruz were on PEDs. That’s bad mouthing my career. That’s putting a bad taste in people’s mouth about my name. That kinda crossed the line with me.”
