T.J. Dillashaw has ‘a lot of mixed emotions’ about former friend, mentor Urijah Faber retiring

Just a little over a year ago, the feud between Team Alpha Male founder Urijah Faber and Duane Ludwig boiled over in a major way, leading to a very public and nasty falling out between Faber and Ludwig’s star pupil, ex-UFC bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw.

Much has been said since then between the two sides, and Dillashaw still remains estranged from his former friend and mentor. Yet with Faber set to retire a week before Dillashaw’s next fight at UFC 207, Dillashaw knows he will inevitably be asked about the man who first introduced him to mixed martial arts, and despite everything that has gone on over the past year, he is conflicted about how it feels to see the end of Faber’s run.
