Sometimes just a look and a pause says everything that needed saying. TJ Dillashaw’s relationship with his former Alpha Male teammates has been rocky over the past few years, but following Joseph Benavidez’s own decision to leave the Sacramento based gym behind it seemed the two men still had some room for a friendship beyond the fallout between Duane Ludwig and Urijah Faber.
Benavidez has even spent some time training out in Denver at Team Elevation himself, as he’s bounced around with his recent fight camps. However, when TSN Sport’s Aaron Bronsteter asked him about his relationship with the bantamweight champion ahead of Benavidez’s fight at UFC Brooklyn – where Dillashaw will be fighting in the main event – he didn’t exactly get a warm reaction from Joe-B.
