“Every shot would cripple him” – Conor McGregor on possible TJ Dillashaw superfight

Doesn't rate him

Patrick McCarry

Twerp. Little boy. Snake in the grass. It’s fair to say Conor McGregor doesn’t think much of TJ Dillashaw.

The latest episode of The Ultimate Fighter brought The Notorious face to face with brash bantamweight champion.

Dillashaw clearly knows that a superfight with interim featherweight champion McGregor would butter his bread for years to come, saying: “The reason I want to fight him? Number one, he’s a big name. It’s going to pump me up even more.”

But McGregor is about as dismissive of Dillashaw as one can get.

“He’s too small,” the Irishman declares. “It’s that simple. Every shot would cripple him. It would break his whole, entire life… I giggle at the numbers he gets.”
