Dillashaw om Faber får matchen mot Cruz: ’I’ll be sick to my stomach’

T.J. Dillashaw förlorade sitt bantamviktsbälte när han senast mötte Dominick Cruz under UFCFight Night 81 och förlorade via ett delat domslut. Nu kan det hända att hans forne lagkamrat och tränare Urijah Faber får nästa chans på titel i en tredje match mot Cruz.

Dillashaw menar att han borde få direkt retur mot Cruz och använder sina matcher mot Renan Barao som exempel på varför detta borde hända.

Det här berättade Dillashaw, via ”MMAFighting”:

I think we’re going to be talking to Dana (White) and Lorenzo (Fertitta) here real soon. I’m kind of letting the dust settle. I don’t want to seem overly pushy about it. I told Dana after the fight that I want that rematch and I felt I deserved it, and so I’m hoping he’s taking that into consideration. I’m hoping he’s taking into consideration what I had to do.

When I won the belt, I dominated Renan Barao, and they gave him an instant rematch within two months. And then he missed weight and they still gave him a rematch. So, I feel like it’s deserved. I feel like I did the exact (same thing), and this fight was actually close, if not the wrong decision, to where it should get a rematch. I feel like I am the most deserving of that shot. I still feel like I should be the champ right now and I want that fight.

Dillashaw anser fortfarande att han borde ha vunnit matchen och tror att det kan vara dåligt för divisionen att ha Cruz som mästare.

I’m afraid that Cruz is going to be a champion who’s going to be up on the shelf like he has been in the past. Not defending that belt, not fighting that often. Always hurt. The guy doesn’t seem like he’s built to fight, and I’m just worried that he’s going to be sitting on the shelf and not looking to defend his belt very often. After being an active champion, a guy who was taking fights whenever, I’m hoping that is not the case. I’m hoping I can get that shot. I want that shot bad.

Cruz berättade förra veckan att han vill möta Faber härnäst och det blir då deras trilogi-match. Dillashaw berättar att han kommer att bli ”illamående” om matchen blir bokad.

Of course he does. Why would he want to fight me when (we had) such a close fight and I feel that I won, and a lot of other people feel that I won that fight? That’s a lot more dangerous of a fight for him to take, and he’s trying to stay on top. I feel like Urijah looks like the easier fight and Dominick knows that

I’ll probably be sick to my stomach if that happens, because why does he (Faber) deserve it? The only reason he deserves it is because he’s got a name. It’s not like he’s had performances where he should be in title contention. I don’t feel that he deserves that shot. I feel that I do. I feel that I won that fight. And it’ll make me sick to my stomach.

Om Dillashaw hade segrat mot Cruz hade han troligtvis fått möta Faber, men han kommer nu vänta och hoppas på att han får returen.

I’m hoping to figure it out, talk to [the UFC] soon and plead my case and hopefully get that fight. I hope everyone enjoyed it to where they would want to see that rematch. I mean, why would you not want to see that fight? I enjoyed it. I ended up getting the decision against me and I still enjoyed that fight, so I think it should be something that’s redone.
