Despite the well documented success Team Alpha Male has had since it brought on Duane Ludgwig as the team’s head coach, according to multiple reports, the parties have decided to split ways.

Ludwig has reportedly decided to open his own gym in his native Colorado, and as a a result, the noted striker will no longer be coaching the Sacramento based team. After news of the split was reported by the “UFC Tonight” program, Ludwig told MMA Junkie.com that he had no intention of leaving before any Team Alpha Male member’s upcoming training camp concluded.

“UFC Tonight” is reporting that Ludwig will remain on as head coach with the team through May 24th. The squad’s leader, UFC bantamweight contender Urijah Faber, also mentioned names like Mark Beecher, Mark Hominick, Robert Follis and Dan Hardy as possible replacements.
