Former UFC Lightweight Justin Buchholz announces his departure from Team Alpha Male.
Buchholz served as a head coach for Team Alpha Male since 2016.On October 2017,Buchholz first announced that he was no longer with the Team Alpha Male.However, a few days after team founder,Former WEC Bantamweight and UFC Title Challenger Urijah Faber clarified that Buchholz but has been more of a kickboxing coach than the team’s lead mentor.According to him the team has gone to a “different system”from the one he put in place in 2016.
Faber said,“I think Justin is maybe having a little trouble with having more guys in on practice, etc,” Faber said. “It was kinda his idea for him to step into more of a kickboxing role. I’d love for him to be as a head coach. There’s a lot of guys that he will be a head coach for and there’s a lot of guys that won’t have him as a head coach. So it’s not necessarily like a shaking up, everything is pretty much the same.”
Buchholz did served as a corner man for Team Alpha Male fighters like Cynthia Calvillo(6-1,3-1 in UFC) at UFC 219 against Former Strawweight Champion Crala Esparza.He was also in the corner of Featherweight Darren Elkins(24-5) at UFC St.Louis where he welcomed Michael Johnson and submitted him in the second round to extend his wining streak to 6.
