I think ever since Dillashaw lost to John Dodson he has really put his game together. TJ is on the rise right now Nomad.

Dillashaw has Duane Bang helping him out with that striking. Alpha Male fighters have all gone undefeated since Duane "Bang" Ludwig came on board. Everybody's striking has improved leaps and bounds.

Prediction: wrong Dillashaw wrong KO/TKO wrong Round 2

^ No it hasn't. It's the same striking, the only difference is that they're confident enough to actually use it. Don't get me wrong, Alpha Male has looked great since Ludwig got there.......but since when did they not look great when not fighting champs/big fights? Dillashaw's record outside of the TUF finale has a 0 in the loss column. Faber has never lost a non-title bout. Mendes has lost to Aldo and........oh, yeah, Aldo. 2 of Benavidez's losses have come in championship bouts and the other was to Cruz in a #1 Contender's match.

I do believe Bang has given the fighters the confidence to actually attempt to KO people, but I don't see how their striking has dramatically improved.

Assuncao beat Tamura exactly one second faster than Dillashaw by the same method.

That doesn't impact my pick whatsoever.

TJ looked bigger than I thought next to Assuncao.

Dillashaw is bigger than Assuncao. I'm going with Team Alpha Male. He wins in looks too.

Itd be really cool if Faber, Benavidez, Dillashaw, Mendes and Castillo all pull off their next fights. I think Benavidez, Dillashaw and Castillo have very rough fights ahead though in Barboza, Assuncao and Mighty Mouse.

Well Benavidez as a reasonable chance and I think if Faber runs through McDonald he may too, Iuri Apcantara, Jorgensen and McDonald is an immense 3 fight winstreak my god.

Just a few of my favorite moments of Team Alpha Male in pictures/gifs:

Awwwww.....That puts a smile on my face. Anyway, I hope the "beta male" curse continues if you couldn't tell.

Some of us enjoy seeing our favorite fighters win. You, I guess, enjoy seeing your least favorite fighters lose. That´s a little pathetic.

Interesting that you perceive it that way. Aldo is my 2nd favorite fighter. I like Brown both as a fighter and as a person, he's just gone downhill after losing to Aldo. Dodson and Pettis are both significantly more exciting than any TAM fighter. Though, I will say that beating on TAM did make it that much sweeter. And you're not actually gonna tell me there's no fighter that you root against. LOL, BS.
