TAM's strange break up with Duane “Bang” Ludwig in the last year has taken another strange turn with currently inactive UFC welterweight Martin Kampmann replacing him as a full-time coach. TAM had reached new levels of success with Ludwig's help but friction between him and Urijah Faber became untenable. Kampmann has been on sabbatical from fighting since being knocked out by Carlos Condit in August of 2013, his second knockout loss in a row. Concerned about concussions, Kampmann has chosen not to fight since, though he's been thinking of returning to action as of late. The 32-year old Danish fighter has been competing for ten years and has maintained a top-20 welterweight ranking for the last five.
Re: Martin Kampmann now coaching at Team Alpha Male Apparently Duane Ludwig will remain in TJ Dillashaw's corner. Starting to feel like a Faber/Dillashaw match isn't out of the question. Dom Cruz will try to throw a wrench in those plans I'm sure.

Cruz has also come off as a douchebag. I hope he gets trounced if he gets a title shot. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy he's healthy and able to compete, but I can't root for the guy
I can if he fights like he did against Mizugaki from now on. That was a monster performance. I wouldn't enjoy watching him out hurk and out jerk TJ Dillashaw for the UFC Bantamweight Dad Dance Championship. If he gets a title shot I hope he comes out blazing like he did in the last fight. I'm not a big Urijah Faber fan so maybe that's why I can stand Cruz's shit.
whaaaaaaaaaat? how can you know like Urijah 'duuuuuuude' Faber? Loved him in the WEC and love his agressiveness... which has been curtailed a bit by his losses, but still he gets after it for the most part. Like you said Cruz, usually, tries to out point guys by making them miss and scoring on punches, but not really damaging them. Hopefully he has changed his style that includes trying to win.
