Earlier this week, Team Alpha Male coach Justin Buchholz announced that he had been ousted as head coach of the Sacramento based MMA gym, and would instead be moved into a role as the lead Muay Thai coach. The announcement was surprising as Buchholz stewarded one of the most successful runs in the gym’s history over the past two years, highlighted by Cody Garbrandt claiming the UFC bantamweight title at UFC 207.
But apparently, Buchholz’s claims may not be true.
Speaking with the Slip ‘n Dip podcast recently, Urijah Faber discussed what happened with Buchholz, saying that it was Buchholz who approached him about moving into a more Muay Thai role and that he would still be happy with Buchholz as the lead coach of the gym.
