Cruz, the former UFC bantamweight champion, blasted Dillashaw on
the UFC Unfiltered podcastthis week for Dillashaw’s complaints about the stoppage in his loss to
Henry Cejudo at UFC Brooklyn last month.
Dillashaw, the UFC bantamweight champ, was moving down to try to win the flyweight belt from Cejudo. But Cejudo stopped Dillashaw by TKO in just 32 seconds. Dillashaw disputed the stoppage, saying it was early. He has continuously said that he will not accept the defeat, slamming referee Kevin MacDonald for calling it prematurely. Dillashaw was not unconscious and seemed to still have his faculties when MacDonald stepped in.
Cruz, though, believe his longtime rival should quit the talk and carry on.
“I look at this and say, is this how insignificantly stupid you are?” Cruz said. “To think you complaining and whining about a stoppage is gonna change anything? You just sound like a moron. Like, nothing is gonna change. You might as well just accept what just happened to you and try to grab a hold of your balls instead of run from them and admit the loss. Because you just got knocked out by a [125er]. And you dropped down to a weight class that dried out your brain and you might not have been as durable as you are at 135.”
