Dillashaw on Team Alpha Male rift: Urijah Faber is the mastermind behind this whole thing

TJ Dillashaw believes Urijah Faber continues to stir up the rift between him and Team Alpha Male to make more money.

TJ Dillashaw left Team Alpha Male on October 2015 to train full-time with Duane Ludwig and the Elevation Fight Team in Denver. But to this day, there continues to be a rift between him and his former team.

As of late, Dillashaw has been beefing with current bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt, which he believes should not be happening in the first place. For him, it is their founder and his former mentor Urijah Faber who continues to stir the pot for personal gains.

“Cody should have no involvement in this at all,” Dillashaw said at the TUF 25 media day on Wednesday (via MMA Fighting). “He was coming in, I was on my way out, for the most part. We were never friends. It wasn’t like I did anything to dishonor him or whatever.”

“I think it’s more Urijah pumping these guys up and continuing to push this trash and build this team, which is money in his pocket. Every guy that fights from there pays him. I think it’s him being the mastermind behind this whole thing.”

“I think they’re trying to hype themselves up. Justin (Buchholz) put himself through the hype machine of being the best coach ever. He’s gonna be behind his fighter and do what he needs to do. Maybe when it’s all done and said, we’ll see. But I’ve lost a lot of respect for those guys. They’re showing their true colors throughout this whole thing. It’s gonna be a tough one to forgive them.”

Early this month, Garbrandt mentioned a video of him knocking out Dillashaw in training, which he says he intends to release to the public. Dillashaw remains untroubled by it and believes he is still the better fighter between the two of them.

“They can post the video of whatever happened in a split second, but we all know know how the majority of practices went down. I know how I feel and I know that I’m the better fighter and I was the one putting it on him the majority of the time. Everyone’s got their days, but I’m by far the better fighter in that room.”
