TJ Dillashaws tränare Duane ”Bang” Ludwig säger i en intervju att övriga fighters vid Team Alpha Male saknar den disciplin som bantamviktsmästaren har.
TJ Dillashaw ska till helgen möta Renan Barao vid UFC on FOX 16. Inför mötet säger Dillashaws tränare samt Team alpha Males tidigare huvudtränare, Duane ”Bang” Ludwig att det bara är Dillashaw som har viljan och disciplinen till att vara en mästare från campet. Ludwig säger även att Chad Mendes hade haft en betydligt bättre chans på fjäderviktsbältet om han haft Ludwig som tränare:
HETAST JUST NU
”He actually wants it. TJ is the only one who actually wants to be a champion. TJ trains a lot harder and is a lot more focused than anyone else on the team, period. There’s just certain people that want it more than others. He has a stronger drive, a stronger determination. He actually believes he can be champ and he’s the one who puts in the extra work, asks the questions, trains a bit harder, takes less breaks…. He’s the only guy…. Danny Castillo works really hard as well. Danny over-trains himself. T.J. is just very smart on how he trains as well, and it’s just a difference when you see the whole Alpha Male Team train, and T.J. sticks out.
Chad is not one of the guys who is always in the gym training hard. So, he wasn’t in the best shape for the fight. I think if Chad was in shape — I don’t know if it would’ve been a different outcome — but it definitely would’ve been a different fight. Chad, man… I’ll tell you what, no one needs me, but everyone who works with me is going to do better with me than without me. That’s for sure. And I feel with the proper camp, Chad could be wearing the belt, he could wearing the belt right now. I felt that too when he fought Aldo the second time”.
