We can’t exactly expect a 24k gold Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz presser from just anyone, but that doesn’t stop Dominick Cruz and Urijah Faber from trying. Faber keeps pulling out all his best lines from middle school Cruz uses his expert footwork to get around them. Then Faber finally pulled out the big guns on UFC Tonight and called Cruz a pervert for touching his own belt.
Cruz: In 4 years you didn't touch the belt.
Faber: Touch the belt? .. You sound like a perv. You touch the belt. pic.twitter.com/6XoAEI4Wkg— Justin Golightly (@SecretMovesMMA) June 2, 2016
After having a whole day to think about it and let “check the record, bud” play in our minds a thousand more times, Faber decided calling Cruz a perv was so damn good he’d have to say it again and expound upon it. I mean, you don’t just “touch” a belt, you hold it up like a damn man. What’s left for Cruz to do but talk about Faber’s height?

While I love the T-Rex imagery, Cruz totally missed out on using that pervert material in an insult to Faber’s height. He should’ve said that if he’s a pervert then fighting Faber makes him a a pedophile. Faber would have never even seen that coming with his close eyes.
Peep out the highlights from yesterday below, you pervert.
