Joe Benavidez No Longer Training With TAM

[Hardkore]

Coming from Justin Bucholz's Twitter feed, after someone asked about Joe and Lance if they are still training cross training between Elevation and TAM.

I remember when Urijah took Benevidez to Inside MMA and was hyping the shit out of him to Bas Rutten.

It was early in his career, in his wec debut days.

Urijah must be rustled

 

[INTERL0PER]

Damn... You have to feel for Uriah. Really seems like the team is kind of falling apart. It's gotta sting to have two of your best fighters leave the team.

TAM RIP

Suprised he left, but not surprised. Faber has up and comers, but losing Joe def hurts. Joe was one of the OG's and one of Faber's best friends on the team. Can't believe it.

You gotta feel for the guy, man. Faber is a stand up dude, I can't begrudge Joe for leaving, he's gotta do what's best for him. But man...

 

[Chris John]

Faber must sorely regret the day he brought Ludwig in.
Everyone is a flight risk from TAM now.

Faber in Hell lmaooooooooo

LoL HI, I was thinking the same exact thing. But I know Joe was a man about it, and told Faber straight up. I wonder if Lance Palmer is leaving too.

They both might go to Jackson's, Elevation isn't a slam dunk. Both of them got along well with 6 Gun Gibson.

TAM has never been lacking talent, it's there coaching that's always seemed to be a problem for them. Faber needs to hire a quality head coach and let him take the reigns for awhile.

Idk man, is musclepharm money that good?

I don't see why he would change, is not like team alpha male sucks.

 

[MMAAAM]

Saw this one coming a mile away.
Definitely a team of snakes.
Poor Faber.

Faber already established the new coaches, and IMO I think that's why Joe left.

Oh didn't hear about that. Who are they?

Snake in the Megan Olivi.

Both Palmer and Joe were concerned about the lack of a head coach, and a well known/respected striking coach.

The head coach is Justin Bucholz, Muy Thai Master Thong, Wrestling Danny Castillo, BJJ Chris Holdsworth and the Brazilian guy I forget his name, Prado?

They're paying for TJ's crib, and paying him to train there. But I wonder about the solvency of Musclepharm, supposedly they're bleeding money like crazy.

 

[BAKM]

Heard thong just showed up whenever and was pretty unreliable. So Ludwig was brought in. Surprised to hear he's still coaching there.

 

[Cooliox]

Faber has no one to blame but himself. He was the Alpha, and the game moved by him- better fighters started to emerge from the pack and he refused to let go of the Alpha spot and move on to mentor the next Alpha.

Obviously once TJ became champion, capturing the belt that has long eluded Faber, Dilla wasn't going to play by Faber's rules.

Faber went though some really bad changes in the last year or 2. He was always cool and calm, the surfer dude type. Always happy and smiling. Really seems to just be salty and bitter these days. Come on man(let), take pride in the generation of fighters that you personally paved way for and help build.

The team is going to continue to break apart.

Cruz Bless.
