The first ever and only two-time UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz made a successful return to the octagon this past January 17. Facing the champ of the time TJ Dillashaw after only fighting once in five years, following a string of harrowing and career threatening injuries, ‘The Dominator’ completed his fairy tale comeback with a split decision win over ‘The Viper.’ Now set to face his old rival Urijah Faber in the rubber match at UFC 199, Cruz is once again embroiled in a feud with a member of Team Alpha Male.
First off it was Dillashaw who got the verbal bashing from Cruz, although that started back in 2014 when he was still a member of TAM. Now having left, it’s Faber who represents the California based fight squad, but ‘The Viper’ is never far from the conversation.
During a recent appearance on ‘The Herd,’ Faber pretty much accused his former team mate Dillashaw and Cruz of taking PED’s (performance enhancing drugs). Cruz shot him down during that interview, but the comments made by ‘The California Kid’ have not really been fully addressed. Not until now, that is.
Speaking during the most recent episode of The MMA Hour, Cruz tackles the subject of his beef with Faber, and also reacts to those accusations of steroid use levelled at him and Dillashaw.
“This is the thing, you can say whatever you need to say about me, I understand, all is fair in love and war. Like, I get that he is going to come and attack me. I get that he wants to attack my character. He’s been doing this to me since 2007. This is the Faber game. He wants to turn everybody against you and make himself the good guy. He can’t handle being the not liked guy.
“But, at the same time, this is all based off of fear. Judgment is the main act of fear. If I’m on [PEDs], what, is everybody on it? Everybody he’s lost to? This is his excuse. He’s setting up excuses for the loss that I’m about to serve him.”
