Juanito Ibarra Gets Denied

Fighters Only Mag with the scoop:
Wanderlei Silva says he was approached with an offer to train under Juanito Ibarra for his forthcoming fight with Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson. Appearing on Brazil Combate TV yesterday, Silva said:
"I've received a letter from someone offering training with Juanito to me, but I didn't care to accept it. The letter "contained phone numbers that I could use to get in touch with Juanito, but I threw it away," he added.
Wow how stupid can one be, or maybe desperate is the better term? Why on earth would Wanderlei want advice from Juanito when he's brutally KO'ed Rampage twice? How honorable of Wanderlei to deny Ibarra the chance to stick it to Rampage again, even though he dislikes Rampage with a passion.

I guess he was looking for someone else to rip off. What balls this guy has. He reminds me of that hunchbacked, deformed guy Ephialtes from the movie “300” that backstabbed the Spartans and sold them out to the Persians.

What I meant to say was his actions remind me of that guy.

Seriously, he would go in there and basically give Wanderlei insider knowledge, letting him know where Rampage’s weak spots are at and the best way to try to mentally break him in the fight. He is a scumbag hiding under the facade of a good, upstanding christian. He makes me sick.
