TJ Dillashaw Ditches Team Alpha Male As He Prepares For Dominick Cruz

The only UFC champion Team Alpha Male has ever produced is gone. Reining UFC bantamweight champ TJ Dillashaw (pictured) is leaving the famed Sacramento-based team to start his own MMA squad at the MusclePharm facility in Colorado.

Combate first reported Dillashaw’s plans, which was subsequently confirmed by multiple outlets.

Dillashaw reportedly informed Team Alpha Male leader Urijah Faber earlier this week of his plans. Dillashaw will immediately begin preparing for his January 17 title tilt against Dominick Cruz at the massive gym in Denver.

A team containing other UFC fighters is being formulated as we speak.
