Urijah Faber ger sin version av tjafset backstage mellan honom och McGregor

Urijah Faber och Conor McGregor tjafsade lite snabbt backstage på invägningarna för UFC 189. Faber medverkade nyligen i MMA hour där han gav sin syn på tjafset.

Det var backstage på invägningarna inför UFC 189 som Conor McGregor och Urijah Faber stötte på varandra. Det uppstod lite lätt tjafs och brottning emellan dem. Faber hade följande att säga om händelsen:

”I was in the hallway backstage and there was one men’s bathroom with one toilet, one sink, you know, everything else, and there’s a female one, so I’m waiting in line and there’s a guy behind me who was like ‘you should check the girls,’ cuz there’s a lot more guys backstage at UFC than there are girls. And I said no, I’ll check into it if you watch the door for me. So I go into the bathroom, I told this guy, I’ll go pee real quick, I’ll be right out, just make sure if anyone comes they know I’m in there.”

”So I’m washing my hands and someone goes and tries to shake the knob, so I open the door, and it was someone trying to open the door for Conor, and as I’m walking out he’s walking and we’re nose to nose. It was super random, wasn’t in anyone’s locker room or anything like that, we were just in a hallway and it so happens that we get face to face, and the guy looks like he was gonna die, it was crazy.”

”He’s like, ‘what’s up little man’ and he rubs my head and I grabbed his stomach and was feeling his ribs, his scrawny little rib, and I was like ‘man, are you gonna survive?’ I don’t know what he’s thinking, he went, like an armdrag to a double, I mean, he was doing a move and I just had the instinct to turn back do a little wrestling, so I redrag hold both his arms because I don’t know what he’s thinking. So I hold both his arms against the wall, I don’t know if he’s going to use his chin or what’s in his head, he goes ”get your fucking hands off me,” I’m like, dude, I don’t have my hands on you, motherfucker.

”He just walked away and went to the bathroom, then I just walked away too. It was kind of confusing, it wasn’t like a real altercation. I don’t think he was trying to go for a massive takedown right before weigh-ins. I don’t know where it got heated a little bit.”
