The drama between Duane Ludwig, his prized pupil T.J. Dillashaw, and their former associates at Team Alpha Male is well-documented, and Ludwig is hoping that Dillashaw’s recent win over Alpha Male ace Cody Garbrandt buries that storyline for now.
Ludwig was in Dillashaw’s corner when the former bantamweight champion reclaimed his title at UFC 217, knocking out Garbrandt in the second round of their grudge match that stemmed from Dillashaw’s split from Team Alpha Male back in 2015. Since Dillashaw made the move from Sacramento to Denver to train primarily with Ludwig, there have been plenty of insults and accusations hurled from both sides.
