Killashaw: The Disgraced UFC Champion

Спорт

TJ Dillashaw was on his way to becoming the greatest UFC Bantamweight Champion of all time, but his legacy was razed to ash and dust in the wake a PED violation that would see him sidelined for over 2 years.
But this wasn't the first time that TJ had been in a contraversial situation. This documentary explores TJ's relationship with Team Alpha Male, EPO, and The UFC. A storied and disgraceful story of an athlete who's ego destroyed everything he ever built.
Thanks so much for waiting out for this one guys I really appreciate it!
Love Always,

    I think what makes TJ take the crown is that he is so freaking unlikable. Jon Jones did way more bad stuff than TJ ever did, but Jon at least tried to appear like a nice guy. TJ is just a clear egotistical narcissist. To me it is all the backstabbing to his so-called ‘friends’ and training partners. It’s just nasty. Jon Jones is a villain, but he is somehow charrismatic.

    Jones criminal record is nothing lol people love to say he hit a pregnant woman with his car, which is party true, but he basically got in an accident by running a light and the woman happened to be pregnant, and her ending up being pregnant gave haters more than enough fuel to twist it and highlight the aspects of him that they specifically cherry picked to formulate their jealous/hateful view of things. We've all been in accidents, sure he was wrong there but its really not a big deal at all lol. "U didn't mention him "RUNNING away with a pile of CASH and DRUGS, leaving the pregnant woman and her unborn BABY to slowly perish!"--hater. He didn't know who was in the car, it wasnt the worst accident tho still very wrong, and it was weed lol

    Botand Bakos-- that is truly the essence of the hater mentality perfectly illustrated in your comment. "Still, every win he has there's a foul in every fight"-or what ever aha Seriously though, winners focus on winning, losers focus on winners....I mean read ur comment twice its honestly sad to see how pathetic of an existence the mind stuck in this way would certainly provide.... No offense dude, I'm not saying ur a pathetic person, just that this way of thinking is literally pathetic, so it will infect ur mind. Put in work everyday on re wiring the way your thoughts are structured in different scenarios, to different people, emotions, etc. Analyze how u respond to things mentally like where ur thoughts tend to go in different circumstances and learn what the " whys" are. This process if followed will bring u to the edges of issues that need to be resolved and re imagined, and going near them will immediately push u away with negative feelings or thoughts, which are there to protect your reality essentially. Our subconscious does this for our egos to protect them from reality. The standard setup tends have tons of these in areas we least suspect even sometimes, and the reality we see or experience by the time pur conscious minds experience it, is delusional. Its normal. But work on this constantly, run towards the uncomfortable realizations and u will immediately gain am edge on most people. It effects every aspect of reality and ourselves. The difference it immediately makes is extraordinary even when u just start. Its not easy at all, that's why its not common at all. Most tend to structure their reality/ how they perceive it by finding ways to make it less hard to deal with which gets ppl in habits of bending truths or even ignoring them just to accept themselves. This over time makes most ppl mentally docile and lost. Up to you who u become. Its not easy at all and will alienate u at points but only some can handle and push through. Good luck brother

    Conner is a master of investigation. He understands that spending money to collect information is key to success in a world of criminality and corruption. He is an information broker. It is why he was able to secure so much money out of his storm years as a fighter. He never did anything without figuring out who to talk to and what to talk about. He is from Dublin! A tough guy in a city of tough guys in a brutal ecosystem. He is underestimated when it comes to his political genius and information is the key to his success.

    Nah it was worth the drama because he was already beginning to be disliked at TAM because of the way he treated his teammates during sparring he ended a dudes career but because they were teammates and loyalty was important hence so many guys sticking up for him during the Conor call out, then it had to do more with Duane then TJ as well alpha male brought duane in to be a striking coach like how kavanaugh for Conor has Roddy do his striking stuff but kavanaugh is the head coach… Duane wanted to be a head coach and he started poaching guys from Team alpha male to make his own gym, and if you lure the champ to yours he clearly has other friends there that probably went with duane as well… so its more so the money aspect of Duane and TJ were stealing guys to make their own gym and thats fucked up, especially when TJ was telling them nah i am still on the team and training there and hurting guys at the gym.

    @@henrycavillsrealmustache3553 nah wasn't that heavily fabricated? Like they skewed the story for drama initially saying it was why he retired, then years later it was re-clarified it wasn't why he retired? I think there was an element of truth to it, like there was genuine competition and a few remarks were made around business / the two camps. But eventually it turned into a full blown disinfo campaign and mental warfare, but I think it was mostly done for commercial reasons around this point once everyone realised they were making bank from it. It was pushed heavily by the UFC, UFC commentators, in every single interview, etc. Eventually everyone was jumping on the bandwagon, even people not associated with either camp, like Cruz. It was easily one of the biggest drama stories in UFC history, at least 4 title fights were based on this storyline. It's up there with the Conor bus incident for mass attention lol. Conor was involved again in this one btw at the start.

    Yeah, he should have gone up a weight class instead of down, but it's easy to say that when you're not the one granted the opportunity.

It was like listening to an audio book by a master philosopher, caught myself rewinding over and over and soaking in the chillingly poignant prose. It spoke to not only my heart and soul, but inspired me to judge less and do more. This transcends far beyond the confines of a movie about a fighter, but delves into the heart of what it means to fight. In our life and in our minds, to fight the barriers we create for ourselves. To treat others with both empathy and respect, and to never cheat others. Thank you so much for this video and your gift for words
