Justin Buchholz finally admits Faber is a problem

[machidafan99]

I thought TJ left because he was getting paid to train somewhere else

 

[MEAN357]

Lost to TJs goat pct imo

 

[Siesta]

Justin Buchholz criticizes tam's coaching structure and Faber's increased involvement. Faber is ruining Garbandt's potential. He immediately dismisses the "Cody was emotional" reason for why no love lost to TJ because he feeds off his emotions and it worked fine against Dom Cruz.

I dont even think Buchholz is a good hc, but having him as a hc is better than whatever Tam is doing now. From unranked to champ in one calender year to getting his asswhooped even worse than the first time against TJ. Safe to say Faber's ego is toxic and tam fighters should get a clue and follow TJ, Benavides, Palmer etc out the door

Faber is a very frugal retired surfer\skateboarder looking dude. That's his problem.

That's mmath, which doesn't work. For instance, if Big Nog beat Dan Henderson and Fedor beat Nog, then Fedor should beat Hendo, right?

I agree with your point, but i think you used a bad example...

Hendo beat both Big Nog and Fedor, the first time he fought each of one them!



“It definitely was the toughest night of fighting I’ve ever had. It showed me that I could really do things if I wanted to; push through things. Mentally, it made me a lot stronger. I entered that tournament because I was broke. I’d moved up to Oregon and I needed some money to continue to train to make the Olympic team in 2000, and I did it just for the show-up money that I’d get to enter. I think I got paid like seven grand to show up for the first event [“Block A” on 10/28/99], and if you won you made a little bit of money for the win. If I took second place I would have made $30,000. For first place, I made $230,000.”

Dom said this years ago, TJ has said this, common sense has said this, now Justin says this. The only people that weren't saying this were hardkore and agibbsonmma

Hendo beating Nog in RINGS was a robbery.

Gus is a very good grappler himself that's the point. You can not say that Cody is not a very good wrestler when he took down dom. It just makes no sense otherwise. You're now just holding onto your side of the argument to be a dick! It's not that hard to understand.

~DaViD~

My original argument stands, Cody is not the most talented 135er ever. And yes, I can say that we don't know how good his wrestling is based off a sprawl and a takedown against a Dom Cruz who was a) worried about the striking and b) the worst Cruz we have seen.

I will not concede. To be a great wrestler you have to prove it more than once against one guy.

I mean if he is so great, knowing TJ already besmirched his chin, he maybe should have used that wrestling, no?

Could be a great wrestler, not enough data.
Definitely not the most talented 135er of all time.

Cody isn't better than TJ, that's why he lost. Chances are he isn't better than most of the top 5-10 either, he had a quick rise to the title but he never really proved himself to be an elite fighter imo. His win against Cruz will be the best win of his career, by far. I like Cody, he is fun to watch, but he's also gonna go down as one of the weakest champs of this decade.

nah I still think cody would knock his ass out, the first fight proved that, t.j couldnt even walk to his corner after the first round, a few seconds and he was done . You know when you're trying knock someone out and walk to the same punch 3 times its definitely emotions

 

[ArtOfDrowning]

But but but but but but but but family for life? Don't leave your team brah? Team Alpha Male forever bitch? Everyone who leaves the team are bitches? Right Justin Buttholes? Right?

Oh no wait, when you do it then it's ok. Just fuck off! TJ was right from the start to leave that retarded gym.

 

[riitzni]

Basically.

Faber gets chin-hurt at the smallest slights real or imagined and will never hesitate to throw someone under the bus if it means keeping himself looking good. He's smart enough to be king of the meatheads but that's about it.

 

[kammfreudenstei]

Yeah that's what makes it crazy, dude got a title shot off of beating Mizugaki. He never fought any of the top guys besides Thomas, and Thomas has been exposed since then. He is in for a rude awakening if he fights any of the top 5. His win against Cruz was like two stars colliding. His style was perfect for cruz, and his counters were on point the whole night while Cruz kept exposing himself throwing low kicks. That one win fooled many into thinking he is a top 5 guy, he isn't and many will find out soon. I know I'll get hate cause Cody has alot of fans, but I'm just being honest and I'll be proven right in the coming years.

He's top 5 for sure, I think he can beat everyone not named TJ. Moraes and Assuncao would be great tests

 

[Nihongi]

Benavidez left TAM too!?

 

[davisxp]

I can't tell if this is a height joke or a buttchin joke

but I love it

I can't get the image of Urijah farting with his chin out of my head now. Thank you.

 

[molest]

It feels like Uriah saw that Duane got so popular it almost broke the team and decided to fire Bucholz before he got big enough to not have the same problem again.
Urijah is kind of in a tough spot because all the other top camps are mostly owned by the coaches.

Dominic is past his prime as a fighter, but still when I look back on that fight after what happened with Cody and his two fights with TJ, I am baffled how he managed to be so great against Dominic on that night? He was patient, he beautifully counterpunched, he never got frustrated even though in the fifth round Dominic was coming on and doing better. That is one of the weirdest results of all time given how great Dominic is. Just incredibly weird.

You are 100% correct about his career to date but we will see what the future holds

 

[Naj85]

His nose is quite close to the source.

Nick Diaz was right all along.

 

[Mug]

If one head coach leaves on bad terms its just a fall out, if two leave then there might be a common factor and that is Faber

If you keep pushing out people who are trying to evolve your fighters then they are all just going to plateau, lose fights and your gym loses credibility I cant imagine why you would self sabotage

Maybe Faber sees coaches teaching fighters new things and then the fighters talking about how theyve just had their eyes opened to a different look and Faber is jealous because he created it

That being said I really think TJ has always had Codys number in the gym but that one flash knockdown gave Cody his confidence to take the fight and think he will + pressure from TAM, also, the horrible fight IQ of getting hit with the same punch three times was a reason for the loss

 

[Miiiiiiighty]

Garbrandt must have some kind of complex, he clearly has emotions management issues..
He needs to work on this to get his emotions under control..
Let's not forget the guy was shook and angry as fuck when a 60 years old Van Damme landed a weak slap kick on him... and was all over the social medias yelling that he would beat/trounce him in a real fight... Nuff' said...
