Faber sympathizes with Dillashaw, feels he was 'manipulated'

The California Kid feels bad for T.J. Dillashaw but says he doesn't think he'll ever return to Team Alpha Male.

The drama between Urijah Faber and T.J. Dillashaw may have come to an end. Tensions were high between the two after Dillashaw had left Team Alpha Male for Elevation Fight Team in Colorado. The 29-year-old was to train under the tutelage of Duane Ludwig -- former TAM coach -- who had personal issues with Faber in the past.

Prior to UFC Fight Night 81, Faber and Dillashaw appeared to be promoting a potential bantamweight championship fight down the line, but things changed when Dominick Cruz dethroned TJ in Boston, Massachusetts last week.
