Juanito Ibarra Sans Hat
I caught Quinton Jackson’s boxing coach, Juanito Ibarra, on camera without his signature hat. It came to me that this was the first time I’ve ever seen him with an exposed dome. It was a quick clip on The Ultimate Fighter, but here is a better view.
Juanito is a pretty dynmanic guy and a site called ThaFomula.com posted a good interview with him. It’s a good chance get the perspecitve of one of the top trainers in all of mixed martial arts.
thaFormula.com - Let’s get into your background Juanito for those that don’t know…
Juanito Ibarra - Well I’m a Mexican American and proud to be. I’m from San Pedro California. I grew up there and got into fighting when I was young. I used to like to fight. I got into martial arts because I wanted to actually learn how to fight. I got busted up there when my trainer broke some ribs and I decided to go to a boxing gym and got mentored by the best boxing people in the world and the lord has blessed me with teaching skills. That’s where he took me and that’s where I found my skills.
