Top Ten MMA Fight Teams: #9 – Team Alpha Male

Mixed martial arts is about as solitary of a sport as you can find – once that cage door closes, a fighter has no one else to depend on but himself.  It is just him (or her) versus their opponent, mano a mano.  But while the sport is not a team-based one, that doesn’t mean a fighter does it all on his own – he/she depends greatly on their fight team to train them, coach them, encourage them, push them to their limits.  But what if MMA was a team sport (like it was in the old IFL)?  What fight team would be the most successful?  

To try to answer that question, we are ranking the top ten MMA fight teams, based on the current fighters on the team.  Next up #9: Team Alpha Male.

 
Team Alpha Male
Sacramento, California

Urijah Faber – UFC – #3 Ranked Bantamweight
Joseph Benavidez – UFC – Top Ranked Flyweight
Chad Mendes – UFC – #2 Ranked Featherweight
Danny Castillo – UFC Lightweight (14-4)
T.J. Dillashaw – UFC Bantamweight (6-1)

Urijah Faber has always been a mixed martial arts pioneer – both inside the cage and out – so it should come as no surprise that he personally created one of the top fight teams in the world.  When a Team Alpha Male fighter steps into the cage, you know what to expect – indomitable spirit, a superb wrestler, gas tank for days, a huge heart.  And a hell of an entertaining fight.
