UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz and title contender Urijah Faber traded barbs on a conference call ahead of their clash set for UFC 199.

Both men still have a strong disdain for one another as they head into their rubber match. Cruz took the title he was stripped of back when he defeated a former teammate of Faber’s, TJ Dillashaw. Cruz also claims that Faber was scared to fight the former bantamweight champion.

Faber and Cruz will look to settle their feud in the co-main event of UFC 199 on June 4th.
