REVEALED: Urijah Faber explains the scuffle between Conor McGregor and teammate Cody Garbrandt

Spoiler alert

Darragh Murphy

You’ve seen the teaser trailer and you know that Conor McGregor and Cody Garbrandt clash on TUF 22 but now you know why.

Urijah Faber can expect a phonecall from Uncle Dana as he let a spoiler slip about the on-camera kerfuffle between his teammate and his opposing coach.

The episode which shows the bleacher brouhaha has yet to be broadcast and everyone involved in the show has signed a confidentiality agreement whereby they pledge not to divulge any spoilers.

But Faber couldn’t help himself when he appeared as a guest on Stud Show Radio as he explained how Coach McGregor continued to “needle” Team Alpha Male about TJ Dillashaw when the UFC bantamweight champion left the room.

According to Faber, McGregor then turned his attention to Andre Fili and started giving him grief before Garbrandt had heard enough, stood up and said “I’ll do something about it, motherf*cker!”

Garbrandt then “chest-bumped” McGregor backwards but Faber revealed that all the tension was alleviated when Team Europe fighter David Teymur, who doesn’t speak fluent English, cracked both camps up by saying “take off your dirty underwear because I’m going to f*ck you.”

Watch the full explanation below.
