Endast några dagar innan deras titelmatch vid förra helgens UFC 217 så valde den dåvarande UFC-mästaren Cody Garbrandt att till slut läcka den ökända videon där han knockar T.J. Dillashaw under en gammal träning.
Videon var från när de båda tränade med Team Alpha Male för flera år sedan.
Den nykrönte UFC-mästaren i bantamvikt, Dillashaw, som knockade Garbrandt i den andra ronden, väljer nu att till slut gå in på detalj om sina tankar kring videoklippet. Vid ett färskt avsnitt av B.J. Penn Radio berättade mästaren att videon bara skildrar ett av hans sämre träningspass. Dillashaw menar att alla fighters har ett antal dåliga dagar i gymmet:
It’s like… that’s practice. You know what I mean? Like everyone’s got good days, everyone’s got bad days, you know. There’s tons of sparring footage from the six years of me being there with every single fighter there having a good day and a bad day. That’s how you get better. You know, if you don’t have those situations, and you don’t get better from them, you’re not gonna be where I’m at. You know, you gotta take your licks, and you gotta learn from ’em.
Dillashaw fortsatte med följande:
And you gotta have guys that are gonna push you, you know, that’s why I’m building my own team to bring in world-class athletes. Trust me, this last camp too. You know, I had my days where, you know, I’m not putting everything together. You know, that happens and then you go home, and you say like, ‘Alright, I didn’t do this. I didn’t do that. I didn’t do this.’ You write it down in your notebook, and then you freaking fix it the next day, you know?
So for those guys to be as immature as they are and release that footage, it just shows even more so what I’ve been saying the whole time, their true colors.
