Urijah Faber Implies Dominick Cruz Took PEDs In The Past

Now it all makes sense.

When Dominick Cruz seemed overly bothered by the “back fat” comments from his upcoming UFC 199 opponent Urijah Faber, it was apparently a PED-implication being made by “The California Kid.”

Faber spoke about his “back fat comment” during a recent appearance on Submission Radio.

“I’ll tell you what has happened. I’ve seen a drastic change in his body from the very first time that I fought him, to a year later when he fought, when he took the whole year off and came back all ripped. Then he looked pretty good two years ago when he made his long-awaited return, physically. And then all of a sudden he’s got floppy boobs and back fat. I mean, there’s no secret what’s going on there – and I know he knows it.”

Faber battles Cruz for the UFC Bantamweight Championship in a trilogy bout in the co-main event of UFC 199, which takes place on Saturday, June 4, 2016 from The Forum in Inglewood, California.

The main event at UFC 199 will see Luke Rockhold defend the UFC Middleweight Championship against former champion Chris Weidman in an immediate rematch. Also on the card is the return of BJ Penn, who will be fighting Dennis Siver, and MMA legend Dan Henderson, who will be battling Hector Lombard.
