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

McGregor won’t be competing at least for a year now. He had an intramedullary rod inserted in the tibia, along with a small plate and screws attached to the fibula. For a few weeks, he will be on crutches before the recovery process starts.
What’s next for TJ Dillashaw?
Dillashaw (16-4) will make his long-awaited return to the octagon to face Cory Sandhagen at UFC Vegas 32. The American last featured in a match 2 years ago.
