Barao: Dillashaw isn’t a champion – he’s a joker
The former bantamweight UFC champion, Renan Barao says that TJ Dillashaw is not a good representative of the title. “I don’t like him because he talks a lot of s**t.”
Brazilian fighter Renan Barao didn’t have a history of talking bad about an opponent, until now. Barao will take on TJ Dillashaw at UFC on Fox 16, July 25 in an attempt to reclaim the UFC bantamweight title.
The Brazilian former champ said that he does not agree with how Dillashaw presents himself to the public or the way he talks to the media. Barao got in Dillashaw’s face during their staredown and he explained why.
“I looked in his eyes just to tell him, ‘I will kick your ass,'” Barao said through an interpreter in a recent media scrum. “I don’t like him, because he talks a lot of sh*t. He’s not a champion — he’s a joker.”
“T.J. Dillashaw had one defense of the title and he thinks he’s the best champion in the world,” Barao said.
