[Arm Barbarian]

Yeah right.

That's why when McG called him out on his disloyalty live, he didn't have jack-shit to say.

Dude looked like a deer caught in the headlights.

He is indeed a sneaky lil snake in the grass. lol

 

[nanika]

whoever manages TJ just needs to put a muzzle on him.

my respect for faber has gone down over the years but i feel there is a ZERO percent chance faber was stealing money from anyone.

 

[Sparkie]

sounds like he's lying
did not listen

 

[Hardkore]

Yeah right.

I didn't say anything about my own personal feelings about the matter, because I rather have people make up their own minds. But, AB, he really is a snake in the grass. And I've never called him that before, ever. Going by his statements and the things he says about Faber and his version of events that happened, I think both him and Ludwig are less than honorable people.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Yeah, my statement wasn't directed at you whatsoever TS. Just silly Dilly being full of it.

It's like he can't understand that it costs money to pay for rent, lighting, heating and air, insurance, and staff. Plus to have lawyers and marketing people to look over his contracts and push his brand.

 

[Hardkore]

Yeah, my statement wasn't directed at you whatsoever TS. Just silly Dilly being full of it.

I know brotha, we are usually in agreement on most things. Even if you didn't, I'd still hear you out, so no worries.

 

[B ville Famous]

Yeah right.

What loyalty? Fighters change gyms all the time. Example: JDS, BJ Penn, GSP, Rashad Evans, Rory Mac, Ryan Bader, Robbie Lawler, Wanderlie Silva, Anderson Silva, Glover TX, Michael Bisping, Kenny Florian, JLau, Shogun Rua, Randy Couture, Frank Mir, Joe Riggs, Carlos Condit, everyone at Arizona Combat Sports, and the list goes on and on.

Its how he went about it that was wrong.

 

[TheWobbler]

Nothing wrong with changing gyms as long as you are a man about it and tell your former gym you are leaving. TJ gave it all the im not going anywhere shit knowng full well he was already gone so he deserves what he gets.

 

[Kuggk]

Sounded like bullshit to me. Especially being invited on TUF and the gym fees. Faber was actually defending TJ when Connor was talking trash about him..

They don't really care and just call him a snake cuz they think it's what they're supposed to do. Condit's departure from FIT NHB was much worse than TJ. Carlos just sent his longtime coach an e-mail that he was leaving and split.

Wait this can't be true b/c I remember when TJ signed on to Team Elevation, he said that he wasn't exclusively with with Team Elevation and that he planned on training at both gyms exactly like what GSP was doing with Tristar and Jacksons or like Alexander Gustafsson with Alliance and Allstar. But Faber had an issue with TJ doing this and just kicked him off TAM.

 

[Tormund]

TJ the conspiracy theorist, he forgets that the first time he was on TUF when he was a contestant everybody thought he was a dick.

But Faber had an issue with TJ doing this and just kicked him off TAM.

Duane was the one who told Faber about TJ leaving to join Elevation. Faber in turn asked TJ if it were true, and TJ denied it. Later that day or a couple of days later, TJ fessed up and told him the truth. Faber told him if you're with Elevation you can't rep TAM and train with us.

 

[Hardkore]

Faber is not an actor or poker player, when Mcgregor said that shit to him, you could tell that rocked him.

Is this true? Wow that's fucked up... I thought better of Condit.

 

[The ScorpioN]

TJ has to look out for himself first. Seems like TAM has stagnated.

They got Justin Buchholz as head coach. Maybe he's good but doesn't seem like he'd be better than Ludwig and elevation team. Benavidez just left too. I wouldn't be surprised if Mendes left as well.

 

[Lucifer Alpha]

Is this true? Wow that's fucked up... I thought better of Condit.

We don't know about their daily situations. It's best to not get caught up in gym drama and pick sides because neither guy is going to be 100 percent right or wrong.
