UFC 135-pound champion TJ Dillashaw is no longer with Team Alpha Male.
In a statement he released to Ariel Helwani of MMAFighting.com, the 29-year old fighter says he decided to train full time with striking coach Duane Ludwig and Elevation Fight Team in Colorado.
For Dillashaw, it is more about what he believes is the perfect opportunity to better himself as a fighter.
"In regards to my upcoming fight camp, I will be doing my training in Colorado. The last six years at Team Alpha Male have been irreplaceable and my brothers there will forever be family to me. I thank each and every one of them for helping me along the way and being a part of this journey we've shared. This is not the end of being a part of the Team Alpha Male family, but a new chapter in my career.
"I will be spending my next full training camp with Elevation Fight Team as they've offered me an opportunity that I couldn't pass up, with an incredible coaching staff and state-of-the-art facilities.
"I want to thank everyone for the continued support as this has not been a decision I've taken lightly."
Ironically, Conor McGregor recently made mention of Dillashaw being a “snake in the grass” to Urijah Faber, adding that “The California Kid” should actually fight his now former teammate.
