Alex Oliveira parts ways with TFT, to train full-time at hometown team ATS

Nine days after scoring the biggest win of his MMA career, Alex Oliveira has decided to part ways with one of the teams he has trained with for years, Tata Fight Team, and prepare for his future fights only in his hometown gym ATS, Oliveira told MMA Fighting.

“Cowboy”, who submitted Carlos Condit in the co-main event of UFC no FOX 29 in Glendale on April 14, trains with coach Andre Tadeu at ATS in Tres Rios, but would drive approximately 100 miles to train with coaches Tata Duarte and Philip Lima at TFT in Rio de Janeiro as well.
