UFC bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw finally has someone who wants to chat.
Promoting their Jan. 17 title bout in Boston, Massachusetts, Dillashaw and former champ Dominick Cruz didn't waste much time getting personal.
Asked by the hosts at 98.5 The Sports Hub to explain the crux of their beef, Cruz said he credits Dillashaw's new head trainer Duane Ludwig.
"He was emulating me for all his teammates," Cruz said of Dillashaw. "Then decided, 'Wow, I'm beating up all my teammates here at "Team Male" with Dominick's style so maybe I should use this to go win a title while he's hurt.
