BREAKING: Ricardo Liborio Leaves American Top Team
Ricardo Liborio took to social media today to announce that he is leaving American Top Team.
Ricardo Liborio took to social media today to announce that he is leaving American Top Team, a South Florida-based team that he helped found in 2001.
The split comes just days after Colby Covington, an ATT athlete, beat Demian Maia in Sao Paulo at UFC Fight Night 119 and riled up the crowd with aggressive, critical comments about the host country of the event.
"Brazil you're a dump, all you filthy animals suck," Covington said in his post-fight interview.
However, in a full statement given to MMAFighting.com, Liborio states that "[he] left the team approximately 3 months ago… and that [he] want the members of ATT to know that they will always be in [his] heart."
In any case, Covington's apology certainly did little to mend the rift with Brazilian fans or Liborio.
