"It sounds like T.J.’s trying to turn himself into a victim like he was kicked out of our gym," Faber said of his former teammate on Thursday. Cody Garbrandt agrees.
Last week, reigning bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw announced his departure from Team Alpha Male (TAM). The 29-year-old parted ways with the camp in favour of training full time with Duane Ludwig at Elevation Fight Team (EFT) in Colorado.
Dillashaw cited financial security as the primary reason for joining EFT, as the former TUF finalist will be getting paid to train with the team, but many feel as though escalating tensions between Ludwig and TAM caused the split.
