"I was never approached with it. I knew it was an idea and it was being talked about, not only by the
media
and Lorenzo and the matchmakers, but I was told that they called Urijah asking if he would take the fight," Dillashaw said.
"It's just something that we're not really wanting to do right now. I don't feel like it's a situation where we have to do it. I feel like I do have fights that I can fight. I do have (Raphael) Assuncao, I do have Barao to rematch, I'm hoping (Dominick) Cruz gets healthy. You know, I don't want to have to fight my mentor. Urijah is the one who got me in the sport, he's the one who talked me into fighting instead of going into grad school. So it'd be a real tough thing for me to have to do to kick his ass."
