Ricardo Liborio founded American Top Team in 2001, alongside Dan Lambert and the Silveira brothers, Conan and Marcelo. Yet, the decorated grappler has announced he’s now no longer part of the team.
Liborio released a statement to MMA Fighting on Monday. His decision is not related to Colby Covington’s recent comments in Brazil, after his decision win over Demian Maia at UFC Sao Paulo, but he doesn’t condone his behavior.
Read Liborio's full statement below.
I feel that I must make a statement in light of the comments made by Colby Convigton along with the amount of messages sent to me from Brazil, the United States, and from all over the world.
