On Tuesday night&#8217;s episode of Stud Show Radio, Dillashaw was a special guest and talked about his move and explained his reasoning behind it.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Now, Elevation Fight Team came to me and they want to pay me some good money to train with them. They&#8217;re offering to pay me to train, instead of me paying to train. This sport is growing so much that that&#8217;s the way I feel like it should be. We&#8217;re professional athletes. I feel like I got treated better in college wrestling. I had a physical therapist on hand at all times, no matter what, when I was in college. And that&#8217;s not where MMA is at yet.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;If anybody else was in my situation, they would take the exact same deal. This is a very short-lived career. I have to do what&#8217;s best for myself. I have to do what&#8217;s best for my career and being on top for as long as possible. I can&#8217;t fight forever. I&#8217;ve gotta fight and secure my future and decide what I&#8217;m gonna do with my life. This is a great opportunity.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Dillashaw mentioned several times throughout the show that it&#8217;s not easy for him to be training at a new gym with a new team and considers TAM to be a family, saying that he wouldn&#8217;t trade his time with the team in for the world.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;I wouldn&#8217;t trade that in for the world. It&#8217;s got me to where I&#8217;m at. It&#8217;s helped me out. It&#8217;s taught me the person I am. I&#8217;ve learned so much here. The experience I&#8217;ve had here has been unreal. But when something like this comes at you, you can&#8217;t turn it down. I really don&#8217;t believe so. I believe anybody in my situation would do the same thing. And I believe it&#8217;s some of the best training in the world that I&#8217;m gonna get.&#8221;<\/em><br \/>\nStud Show Radio runs every Tuesday and Thursday at 8:00 PMish PT.
