LAS VEGAS — The story has already been told ad nauseam over the last year plus.
T.J. Dillashaw left Team Alpha Male in 2015 and his former teammates were not happy about the whole thing went down. That includes Cody Garbrandt, the new UFC bantamweight champion, who will defend his title for the first time in July against — that’s right — Dillashaw.
First, though, the drama will only intensify. The two men are coaching against one another on The Ultimate Fighter 25, which premieres April 19 on FS1. Garbrandt’s coaching staff on TUF includes Dillashaw’s former friends and current Team Alpha Male coaches Justin Buchholz and Danny Castillo.
