I en intervju med Submission Radio berättar den forne WEC-mästaren Urijah Faber att livet var inte alltid dans på rosor under inspelningen av den kommande säsongen av The Ultimate Fighter. Faber berättar att varje gång någon av hans lagkamrater i Team Alpha Male befann sig i samma rum med Conor McGregor så var det alltid en spänd stämning i rummet. Vid ett att av tillfällena var det inte alls långt ifrån att den regerande bantamviktsmästaren TJ Dillashaw och irländaren hamnade i handgemäng.
It’s funny ’cause Conor and I have been around each other and have an interesting relationship, but him and TJ on two different occasions have gotten into it with things escalating to, you know, them kind of bad mouthing each other. So there’s a little tension there as well and I think that’s a good fight the fans would love to see. One time TJ and Conor and I in the back of the Ronda Rousey fight in LA, we were in just a private little bar with celebrities and the UFC brass and words were exchanged, and TJ was talking about Conor’s title shot and Conor went back and forth and they were getting on each other’s nerves, really. So I think they ended up having to be split up a little bit.
Faber kommer tillsammans med McGregor att leda den kommande säsongen av The Ultimate Fighter, som har premiär den 9:e september.
