Another day, another Team Alpha Male fighter taking digs at Conor McGregor

"I just lost a ton of respect for him"

Darragh Murphy

Just when you thought Conor McGregor had ignited a feud with every single member of Team Alpha Male, another fighter comes out of the woodwork.

The latest representative of the Sacramento gym to join the likes of Urijah Faber, Chad Mendes, Cody Garbrandt and TJ Dillashaw (now formerly of Alpha Male) in some McGregor-dissing is none other than Danny Castillo.

The Last Call spent quite a bit of time in The Ultimate Fighter gym during the filming of TUF 22 and claims that his experience with McGregor in Las Vegas has lowered his estimation of him, claiming phoniness from The Notorious. 

“Before the show, I really liked Conor,” Castillo told TUF Talk this week. “I thought he was great for the sport, bringing all those people into the sport, and bringing so much recognition to the sport I thought it was great. But just listening to him and being around him, I’d rather not deal with it.

“I just lost a ton of respect for him because (when) the cameras were off, he was acting totally different than when the cameras were on. I lost a lot of respect for him because I’m the same way whether my mom’s there or my homies are there or you’re there, I’m going to talk the same way, I’m going to act the same way because I’m me. I’m that person. I don’t turn the switch on when the cameras are around.”
