‘He’s Looking Such an A****le’- TJ Dillashaw Thinks Conor McGregor Looks Like an ‘Idiot’ for Making Excuses After Loss

Former 2-time UFC bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw believes Conor McGregor is doing himself no good after giving excuses via several videos about his UFC 264 loss. The Irishman lost to Dustin Poirier after snapping his leg in the dying seconds of round 1.

After his surgery, McGregor posted a video on his Instagram account where he revealed he had stress fractures that ultimately led to his downfall against Poirier. During his match, he used several leg kicks on ‘The Diamond’ and aggravated it more.

In an interview with Brendan Schaub on the episode Food Truck Diaries, Dillashaw responded to the question of McGregor making a successful return.

“I don’t know, man,” Dillashaw said. “He’s (Conor) digging himself into a hole right now. He keeps putting these videos out, making excuses, make himself look like an idiot.”

“I want to back the guy now because he’s at his lowest low. I didn’t want to back him when he’s at the top (and) I want to back him now because he’s at the lowest low and what he has done for the sport. But he’s making it tough. He’s looking such an as***le.”

The former champion will look for a title fight opportunity after picking up a win against ‘The Sandman’. The latter, though, is currently riding a 2 fight win streak. His victories have come against Marlon Moraes and Frankie Edgar, respectively.

There is an impending rematch between the current bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling and former champion Petr Yan. A win over Dillashaw will put Sandhagen directly in contention to fight the winner of the aforementioned battle.
