Urijah Faber encouraged by Cody Garbrandt’s win after Team Alpha Male’s ‘divorce’ at the ‘hands of greed’

Cody Garbrandt picked up a major win for Team Alpha Male when he knocked out Brazilian super-prospect Thomas Almeida on Sunday in the main event of UFC Fight Night 88.

The breakout performance was the perhaps the biggest boost Garbrandt's team has gotten since its heavily publicized split with former UFC champion T.J. Dillashaw, and for the squad's founder and leader Urijah Faber -- who challenges for the bantamweight title at UFC 199 -- it couldn't have come at a better time.

"It does (help)," Faber said Tuesday on The MMA Hour.
