“He’s Obviously Jealous of Me”- TJ Dillashaw Hits Back at ‘Salty Cu*t’ Dominick Cruz for His Recent Comments
Aljamain Sterling cemented his place as the bantamweight champion of the world with a unanimous decision win over Petr Yan at UFC 273. With the win, Sterling silenced a lot of his doubters, including former bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw, who in all likelihood will be his next opponent.
After the win against Yan, Sterling called out Dillashaw for a fight. The common consensus is that the UFC will oblige and award Dillashaw the next title shot. This has obviously upset a lot of fighters, including former champion Dominick Cruz, who labeled it a hook-up.
TJ Dillashaw makes his case for being awarded a title shot after one win
Cruz’s comments have not sat well with Dillashaw who in a recent interview hit back at the former champion. He said, “He sounds like a salty c*nt, to be honest,” Dillashaw told Submission Radio. “I just think he’s obviously jealous of me being able to stay in the top, you know – my layoff and how long I’ve been in the sport and me still be able to come back and prove that I’m still the best. And I did lose money, right? Me not fighting for two years while being a champion is a lot of money out of my pocket. (If I had) kept racking in the wins, getting title defenses, I mean, we’re talking about millions and millions of dollars that I let slip through my fingers because I made a f*cking stupid mistake.”
Dillashaw continued, “So yeah, I paid my time, I came back and f*cking grinded to get that win on f*cking one leg and one eye, and there’s nothing you can do to deny me that it’s my shot,” he added. “So like I said, he’s just being salty, and that’s kind of his personality, anyways. He’s kind of an unlikable dude. I mean, I’ve always respected him and I think he’s got a good eye for stuff, but he’s got like this chip on his shoulder where he feels like everything’s owed to him, and he’s just like always complaining about sh*t.”
