Interview was from TSN's MMA Show podcast.

Starts 41:00 in if you click through to the website. (There's an interview with Derrick Lewis before it.)

Cliffs:
  • Was with TAM from the time that he was a UFC fighter in the mid-2000s up until Elkins beat Michael Johnson.
    • He'd been working with TAM fighters as an assistant coach from the beginning.
  • Says the slump that started after Ludwig left the team got worse after he (Buchholz) left.
  • The only TAM fighter that he's still working with, Cynthia Calvillo, is the only one on a win streak right now.
  • Trashes the corner instructions during Garbrandt/Munhoz for not being specific enough in telling Cody to back off of the exchange.
    • Says that TAM guys abandoned Cody in the cage after the decision was read out. This was ridiculous because Cody was concussed and needed to be monitored.
  • Credits Duke Roufus/Din Thomas's corner work during UFC 235 as the polar opposite of TAM in spite of the fact that their guy lost.
    • Roufus was solely concerned with Woodley's well being after the fight.
  • Has no problems with Bang and TJ and would still work with them. The beef is with Faber.
    • Says that Faber would have to lick his boots for him to even consider coming back.
    • Says Faber kicked him out without notice after a decade with the team.
  • Says Ludwig clearly improved the team and Faber's decision to kick out Ludwig (and TJ) was asinine.
    • Claims that TAM almost folded after Ludwig left.
    • Faber tried to sell the gym but couldn't find a buyer.
  • Says that the TJ/Bang situation was identical to what happened with him, only Cody stayed when he was fired as coach.
    • Says that Faber's ego is out of control and that he can't handle coaches who make better decisions and get better results than he can.
  • Says that he and Ludwig were replaced by guys who have zero experience coaching and don't know what they're doing.
  • Thinks that the team is done now that Mendes has retired.
    • Mendes was the team's anchor.
    • Says that TAM even botched Mendes's retirement announcement.
  • Funny exchange between Buchholz and interviewer about how baffled Cruz has been by the fact that he lost to Cody after seeing Cody's performances in the last three fights.
    • Buchholz says that he cornered 27 rounds with TAM fighters against Cruz and had a lot of input into the gameplan for Cruz/Garbrandt.
  • Thinks that Cody is regressing to his pre-UFC form.
    • Cody can't control his emotions and needs stern coaching.
    • Cody also needs to be restrained in the gym. Cody has hurt guys himself despite the criticism against TJ for doing the same thing.

That's about all that's relevant before getting into "not reading this shit" territory.

thanks for this very informative post!
 
I thought bang left of his own accord to start up his own gym?
 
just to make a general comment. it's truly amazing the amount of drama that surrounds that gym. i can only point to the main-man himself, faber. it's his gym. he runs the show. he has allowed the drama to run amok for years. i wouldn't be surprised at all that faber was looking to sell and jump ship, and leave everyone behind if he could. the more people begin to leave that gym and speak the truth, the worse it begins to make faber look.
 
Sounds like a man so bitter about Faber, he's triggered.
 
He was one of the guys that shitted on TJ after he left, talking about loyalty.

Now he looks like an even bigger snake.

I wouldn't be surprised if that gym folded in the near future.
 
Expose that short try-hard Urijah some more.
 
They kinda fucked him a little. He was there when there was no coach. I believe he spent like 2 years there as the head coach and he went home for his fight. When he came back; they hired 4 more head coaches. When he decided to leave, Cody didn't follow him so it's opposite of TJ.
 
While all spit hate on TJ and Bang, the real culprit is Faber. He is a scumbag, that "cool face" never tricked me. He is a scum. This "50 year old skateboarder" (credits to McGregor lol) is fucking it all. And I still think he is corrupt because of this: https://www.detroitnews.com/story/n...12-m-scheme-involving-frank-patino/741261002/
Hope Cody get out of there ASAP. He is a good fighter, needs proper training and psychological routing. He needs to stop doing that Wanderlei Silva swing on the fight.
 
Sounds like too many chiefs and not enough Indians

He also sounds like a bitter little bitch, if it was so bad there why did he stay there for so long

<BC1>
 
Good thread, TS.

Interesting stuff, TAM seems like a shithole and Faber seems like a douchebag. Dude is in the HOF, omg.
 
Can’t trust what he says. He was shitting on TJ and Bang before, but now he’d work with them again.
