Both sides are trying to paint the picture brighter than the other guys.
There definitely was some underhanded sneakiness going on by TJ. That's how Conor knew about TJ switching campus before anyone because team elevation was courting TJ (and other fighters) for a while. TJ knew for a couple months he was going to be leaving and kept it to himself. No mma should be ashamed of getting paid money to train. He's extremely lucky in that regard and would have been dumb not to jump on the offer.
Faber did TJ bogus by basically forcing him to quit then blaming him for quitting. But if you look at it from Faber's perspective Faber convinced TJ to pursue mma and treated him like family. Gave him a place to sleep, train, and money to live.
It's really just a bad break up and the UFC is playing it to for all it's worth.
I want TJ to win but Cody is legit. Anyone can take it.
When you (ok, I) step back and look at this thing, you say "It's really just a bad break up and the UFC is playing it to for all it's worth." So true. But not only that, how incredibly childish & stupid this is? (whole TAM/ TJ/ Faber/ etc) What makes it even worse: here I fucking am writing about it on an MMA forum!
