T.J. Dillashaw: Jag har tröttnat på att Dominick Cruz springer från mig

T.J. Dillashaw förlorade sitt bantamviktsbälte mot Dominick Cruz då de möttes under ”UFC: Fight Night 81”, och har sedan dess velat ha en returmatch mot den nya titelhållaren. Nyligen bestämdes det dock att Dominick kommer få möta Cody Garbrandt under UFC 207 den 30 december, och detta hade Dillashaw att säga om det hela via ”Glory World Series”:

I got nothing against Cody Garbrandt, of course he should push for a title shot. It’s what we should all be doing. It’s Cruz, he’s the one making the decision and the UFC let him do it. Whatever it is, it doesn’t make sense to me that I’m not getting the title shot, but I’ll get my belt back eventually.

I feel like he’s coasting right now. He’s being a prima donna champ, and he’s picking the fights that he wants. It’s not a sport anymore, and there’s no point of rankings. We went to a close split decision, and it was controversial in most people’s eyes. All the people I talk to say I won the fight, and I do so myself.

All I want is the chance to prove that I won that fight. I met with the head of the UFC and they told me that they thought I’d won it. I thought that would be enough to get the rematch, but it’s not about who the best is in the sport anymore. It’s about who can talk the most trash and what’s going to the best for the company.

I’m tired of Cruz running. I tried betting my purse–I bet $100,000K that I’d beat Cruz in a rematch and he didn’t even acknowledge the bet. He knows he doesn’t want to fight me and he just wants to retire on top and be a commentator. It’s just a bunch of politics–he’s a politician and it’s got me heated.

Sist vi såg T.J. inne i oktogonen var under UFC 200, där han tog sig an och besegrade Raphael Assuncao via ett enhälligt domslut. När vi får se honom fightas härnäst återstår att se.
