Quinton Jackson's trainer Juanito Ibarra talks tough in the open of Countdown to UFC 86 on SpikeTV. He says that he'll quit if Forrest Griffin pulls off the upset.

Ibarra did confidently say his guy would beat Chuck Liddell's ass and Rampage delivered. But based on his horrific coaching record with the fighters on The Ultimate Fighter 7, Juanito may want to tone down the rhetoric. If Jackson evers falls from grace, we may reference Ibarra as the 'George Seifert of MMA.' Without immense talent to work with, maybe he brings little to the table. Only time will tell.

    don't blame ibarra for the very weak fighters on tuf 7..none of those guys will ever amount to anything but set up fights for real contenders..if that..rampage should handle griffin pretty easily though..no worries juanito..

    Dana White has been known to step in an take charge of things, and the way Juanito had built everything up, I believe Dana will make him pack it up or have a public adress and apoligize for getting out of hand.
    The mans words were "ill go on record, I will retire if forrest Griffin wins this figth"
    I agree with Jarrod retire son, be a man head on over to pride
