“Its been a pretty exciting week. A lot of people know this but if you haven’t already heard, I resigned this week from the Xtreme Couture gym as the head trainer. On good terms, there is no war or battle. The gym and the direction its going and the direction I am going are two different things. A few years back I set some goals for myself and I am at a point now where I want to follow through on some of those goals” he said about leaving the academy he has been working on for years with guys like Wanderlei Silva and Vitor Belfort.

“One of those is to bring back the Team Tompkins brand and try to put together a bit of a legacy for myself. A lot of people don’t understand that in the world of MMA there is more than just the fighters. There’s the coaches, the Joe Rogans, the Bruce Buffers. I just want to make sure that when I am done I have got something to be really proud of and something I can call my own”.
