Tj Dillashaw Talks to Josh Barnett about being a Hard Sparing Partner

[@Rob-ze1wi]

TJ tone different around big boys.

[@234i9]

What is this grammar.... You're right tho maybe

[@Julian-hy7tn]

Trying to knock out sparring parters is wild

[@dosage13]

TJ was known for hurting his sparring partners

[@SirPraiseSun]

no he just hits them as hard as u hit em so check ur ego while sparring its coming back to you

[@malcolmreid8632]

@@SirPraiseSunyou must be kidding. There are literally clips of him hitting guys after the bell in sparring. Multiple training partners have come out to say what a POS he is in camp. TJ ruined Chris holdsworths career because he decided to knee him in the head during grappling, he’s an unstable bad dude.

[@vanguardmedia7218]

I believe the stories. Unfortunately, many fighters aren’t great human beings. Hurting others for a living requires a special type of human being. One that is disagreeable and just plain nasty at times. There are tons of stories of past MMA champions being poor human beings: Matt Hughes was renowned for being an aggressive asshole. So was Mark Coleman in his UFC heyday. Jon Jones isn’t exactly a great role model either. These guys are just people. Flawed human beings just like the rest of us.

[@tray3483]

he'd just try knocking them out and hitting them after the bell, nothing more bro

[@DM-sy4hg]

I can't stand when people act that way in the gym, then "excuse" it by saying they are just competitive. There are stories about him injuring people. That BJJ guy from alpha male that won TUF is a good example. The story is that TJ kept getting taken down and subbed. So when the round was over TJ kneed him in the head while he was trying to get up and that eventually ended his career.

[@michaelromefelt762]

“At Alpha Male, the one rule was to have my teammates back”…TJ a slippery one

[@BullyBoxer]

Load of drug cheats.

To be a fighter you have to be selfish, I don't blame TJ in the slightest.

TJ seems like he’s always been a selfish dude. Known for hurting dudes, doesn’t believe in paying sparring partners

so many wussies think they can go really hard without getting hit back spar light or dont complain

I mean Urijah brought him into Alpha Male for him just to leave and sell peanut butter with Daune, not to loyal haha.

[@dmvbawse4265]

Tj was a dirty sparring partner

[@simonnormansound]

Josh Barnet’s insight into the art of fighting is phenomenal

[@2regarded]

Josh is definitely making that point to get at tj 😂

[@WhalesWilly]

Didnt members of Team Alpha Male say that Dillashaw injured a teammate with a cheap shot and basically ended his career?

[@akilbrazier1421]

Yep. TUF 18 winner Chris Holdsworth. Dude had promise too

[@I-HAVE-A-BOMB]

@@WhalesWilly not basically, 100% ended his career and left him permanently damaged. They called him Killashaw.

[@suckmah7438]

@@fubusupporter5933what I heard was that Chris holdsworth was getting the better of TJ in wrestling in practice and TJ got frustrated and kneed him in the head. Gave Chris a concussion that left permanent symptoms that left him unable to compete again.

They talk about the game from the Nokia phone 'Snake' and go straight to TJ...!!!

KILLASHAW. Heard he ended some dudes career in the gym.

[@B0l0joe]

Holdsworth, i think. I remember him cheapshotting a japanese kickboxer after sparring too. It's online.

[@DavidMarin-pt2wc]

Apparently he was sparring with holdsworth and he started to hit holdsworth repeatedly in the back of the head. I don’t remember if it was with knees or hammerfists but it was bad enough for holdsworth to stop his mma career

[@DM-sy4hg]

@@DavidMarin-pt2wc Faber said it caused his eyes to be crossed for awhile. Which is scary. It was a knee to the head. TJ was reportedly mad because Chris kept taking him down and subbing him in sparring.

[@Ghostface__x_]

Same goes for jones

[@ShakurasStalker]

@@Ghostface__x_ well that's pretty obvious, the whole community already know he's terrible. With TJ, the statement has more significance because a lot of the casual fans are ignorant to who he really is as a person.
