Responsible for the physical preparation at American Top Team, André Benkei called TATAME to announce his leaving from the team. One of the biggest names of the world on the physical preparation at MMA, Benkei is responsible for the preparation of all ATT athletes, but now leaves the team. “I left the team because of some idealogical disagreements with the ATT headcoach, Ricardo Libório. I had no trouble with the Dan Lambert or Conan Silveira”, said Benkei, taht will continue working on some ATT athlete’s preparation.

“The main athletes of the team will continue working with me as a freelancer at Prime Time, but now I’m free to work with any athlete of different teams. I don’t fight for a team now, but Thiago Alves, Antônio “Bigfoot”, Thiago Silva, Gesias Cavalcante and Marcus Aurélio confirmed that they’ll continue with me. ATT will continue its life witha new guy and Liborio’s way of working”, told Benkei. For more about the changing at ATT, stay tuned on TATAME.com.
