What was the whole story behind TJ leaving?
TJ wanted to utilize both gyms(he was getting paid $5000 a month or somesuch to do 1 class a week by Musclepharm in Colorado and Duane Ludwig was there and they had an extremely tight relationship as Duane was the best striking coach TAM ever had). Faber and TAM were fine with it until Conor made them seem like Cucks on National TV about the situation and gave TJ an ultimatum to stick with them exclusively or be blacklisted from the gym.
Faber denies giving an ultimatum on TV and claims TJ "Quit on the team", but his previous podcasts specifically state he felt TJ would be spying on other fighters and he could not allow him to be a part of 2 gyms spying on them so he had to be kicked out. Chad Mendes confirmed this on a podcast as well. TJ was told he could not go to multiple gyms anymore and he had to make a choice despite wanting to stay tight with Alpha male.
Faber likened it to TJ saying "I am married to you, but she is hot and I am gonna bang her, but ill come home and slap you around a bit sometimes"
Obviously TJ was given a stupid ultimatum by Faber that no rational human would take. Other fighters in other gyms go to multiple camps ALL THE TIME. Only at TAM is this ridiculous frat Jock bully brotherhood where rules only apply to some because Mcgregor made them look silly on TV.
Then the personal attacks started. TAM loves claiming TJ is a dick during practice, which he probably is, but acts like he is the only one doing it when it is known throughout the MMA community that they all love to go hard and dirty in practice. Christ, Faber praised PVZ for beating the shit out of a 14 year old boy and giving him repeated knees to the head when he was down at the gym saying "She is definitely right for our gym. This is the attitude we want and praise. She wants to be a fighter."
Hell, When Cody first started saying Chris Holdsworth's career was ended because of TJ, holdsworth got on twitter and told Cody to STFU and that it was not true. And it wasn't, since Holdsworth had 2 fights in the UFC after the alleged incident where TJ kneed him.
Only years later did TAM gang up on Holdsworth and force him to start agreeing with them publicly. Frat house rules. Agree with us publicly and shame TJ or you are out.
