TJ Dillashaw Departs From Team Alpha Male

Dillashaw defends the UFC Bantamweight Championship against Dominick Cruz at the January 17th UFC Fight Night card in Boston. He criticized Ludwig’s behavior, business ethics, and emotional stability-but qualified his statements by saying that if his students, like Dillashaw, wanted to continue to train with him they could. This is not the end of being a part of the Team Alpha Male family, but a new chapter in my career. Elevation’s head coach, Leister Bowling, confirmed Dillasaw’s addition to the team and told MMAjunkie that he is continuing with an arrangement in place for his past two fights, splitting time between Elevation and work with former Alpha Male head coach Duane Ludwig in Broomfield, Colo., near Denver. He instructed Mixed martial arts Fighting, “The last for 6 years at Team Alpha Male have also been irreplaceable and my childrens there’ll forever be relations in to me”.

Dillashaw, a former contestant on The Ultimate Fighter, was the center of friction between Ludwig and Team Alpha Male founder Urijah Faber.

The team, however, has recently stepped up its game to become a more organized unit and will reportedly be backed by the sports nutrition company, which grants the team access to MusclePharm’s 40,000-square-foot, gold-standard training facility. “I’m thankful he chose our team and thankful he put his faith into us and our coaches”.

“I want to thank everyone for the continued support as this has not been a decision I’ve taken lightly.”

Since then Ludwig and Faber have engaged in a rather public war of words, leaving Dillashaw stuck in the middle.

“In regards to my upcoming fight camp, I will be doing my training in Colorado”, Dillashaw told the site. Does the current UFC Bantamweight Champion deserve to be called a traitor to Team Alpha Male?

Speaking of being hurt, Dillashaw’s exit has to sting for Faber.
