Back in 2013, it looked like Team Alpha Male had churned out yet another top-level bantamweight prospect. Chris Holdsworth, who earned his BJJ black belt at just 21 and won The Ultimate Fighter 18 at 26 years old, was well on his way. But even before TUF he suffered a concussion in training, and that the lingering effects from that have seen him on the sidelines for over three years now.
It has always been rumored that the injury was caused by then-teammate T.J. Dillashaw. Dillashaw’s UFC 217 opponent, current UFC bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt, has pointed the finger at Dillashaw.
