Coach Duane Ludwig: 'T.J. Dillashaw Is The Best Martial Artist Ever'

Ultimate Fighting Championship bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw, who is coming off a resounding victory in his rematch against former teammate Cody Garbrandt at UFC 227, is the greatest mixed martial arts fighter in history -- according to his head coach, Duane Ludwig.

Dillashaw successfully defended his bantamweight belt earlier this month with a first-round TKO victory over Garbrandt and Ludwig believes his star pupil just continues to get better and evolve in the sport with everyone else playing catch-up.

Ludwig was the head coach at Team Alpha Male in 2013-2014, where he is credited with transforming an already strong camp into arguably the best in the world, winning two consecutive “Coach of the Year” awards from the World MMA Association and helping make TAM “Camp of the Year” in 2013.
