Former UFC bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw was far from the only person to leave Team Alpha Male over the past couple years. But out of all those who left Sacramento, from flyweight standout Joseph Benavidez to coaches Martin Kampmann and Duane Ludwig, Dillashaw caught the most flack for leaving Urijah Faber’s famed gym.
“I left when I had the belt, there was a lot of attention coming back on the team about it being kind of on a downward spiral,” Dillashaw said on Monday’s edition of the MMA Hour.
