\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Last night we learned that, Team Alpha Male,\u00a0one of the most successful teams in MMA, is losing their head coach.
\n<\/a>
\nOn Fox Sports 1’s ‘UFC Tonight’ show, the broadcast team announced that Duane Ludwig is set to leave the Sacramento fight teams side<\/a> in favor of something new.<\/p>\n

In a recent interview with MMAJunkie.com<\/a>, Ludwig expressed his concern for the way the news was handled.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt wasn\u2019t fucking supposed to be like this, man. I\u2019m not going to bounce on anybody\u2019s fight camp. Then he fucking went and told the team and did a press release before I knew. I\u2019m like, \u2018What the hell?\u2019 That\u2019s why it was a bit sudden, because I was just giving Urijah the heads up; I didn\u2019t really have much planned. I think he kind of jumped (the gun).\u201d
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Following up those comments, Duane discussed his plans going forward in an interview with MMAWeekly.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve really had a great time coaching at Team Alpha Male, and we\u2019re leaving things on great terms, but my heart has always been in Colorado. I have plans to return home and open my own martial arts academy. I love the guys at Team Alpha Male and have formed some tight bonds, but I need to be home in Colorado. It is just time to do my own thing and build my own business.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
