Former Team Alpha Male coach Justin Buchholz thinks Cody Garbrandt has failed to return to the level that saw him dethrone Dominick Cruz at UFC 207.
Buchholz was a spectator at Saturday night’s UFC 227 event at the Staples Center, where he watched two of his former training partners, T.J. Dillashaw and Garbrandt, engage in a rematch. Dillashaw bettered his first showing against “No Love”, finishing him in the second round of their bantamweight title clash.
Speaking to the Slip ’n Dip podcast following the event, Buchholz claimed that he doesn’t think Garbrandt was trained to the level that he had been for his first title shot in December 2016, when Buchholz was still featured amongst the coaching staff of Team Alpha Male.
