Judas Ibarra Is Bad For MMA!

Juanito Ibarra was once a well respected mma and boxing coach of fighters such as Oscar De La Hoya and Rampage Jackson.

Everything appeared to be going so well, with Juanito's tutelage Rampage managed to successfully capture the UFC Light-heavyweight Championship and later become the first ever Unified world champion in mma history when he defeated Dan Henderson.

Despite this things started to go wrong rapidly. These problems seemed to arrive when Rampage was asked to be the Ultimate Fighter 7 coach alongside Forrest Griffin. Rampage has stated that this was when problems started to arise.

So when the show was done Rampage fought his rival coach at UFC 86. But Rampage appeared to be distant and very one dimensional in this bout. Instead of mixing his fantastic boxing skills with his world famous wrestling, Rampage simply looked for the big shot.

It was evident Ibarra had underestimated Forrest and decided that Rampage did not need a game-plan. In heavy contrast Forrest executed a superb game-plan and won.

After the bout Rampage criticised Ibarra saying that he refused to bring in a new boxing coach for Rampage when Ibarra cracked a rib while holding pads. Then Ibarra and Rampage split-the full reasons are still hazy but allegations of extortion have been hinted at not to mention Rampage saying Ibarra was a control freak

Now the "Born again Christian" is telling Wanderlei Silva he is more than willing to help reveal how to be Rampage "Easy." Even going as far as sending Wanderlei his number! This is the actions of a traitor and is more like the actions of Judas Iscariot than a "Christian."

However Wanderlei Silva showed true class and warrior spirit when he revealed he would not use Ibarra saying that if he was willing to do it to Rampage he could do it to him.

Ibarra should do what he promised and retire! He has no place in MMA and is simply trying to remain a factor by being willing to commit such atrocities. If you don't retire go back to boxing where this type of  behaviour is the norm, MMA doesn't need you to pollute it. RETIRE!
