MMA-KO Hall of Famer Jaime "El Cucui" Jara By MMA-KO's Writer Art Rodriguez/ Leif Carlson
In 1969 Jaime Jara was born in North Highlands, California. His father was the wrestling coach at Rio Linda high where Jamie attended. In his senior year, Mr. Jara fought his way to a 56-1 record, placing 2nd in the California High school state wrestling championships. After high school, Jaime furthered his combat education by taking martial arts and earning a black belt. He has been a professional MMA fighter since 2002, and is still actively competing. “El Cucui” meaning “The Boogeyman” was the nickname his father gave him. Mr. Jara tends to “scare a lot of people” he told one interviewer, and the nickname just seems to fit. Jara’s fighting style is not easily comparable to most other renowned fighters. “I think I’ve got my own style. I’m a little more unorthodox than most” said Mr. Jara in an interview with Kodiak MMA. His stand up is very clean and effective, with knock-out power in both hands, and a good boxing style defense. He is always active on the ground, always posing a threat and looking to finish. Never out of condition for a fight, and with an experienced and focused attitude, Jaime Jara continues fighting with determination rivaled only by the Terminator.
When asked whom he wanted to thank, Mr. Jara asked that his fans be acknowledged, his fight team and Mike Rumsey, Coaching Kids MMA, and of course his many sponsors such as Stealth Armor, Warrior Wear, and Cassio Werneck Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
Jaime Jara recently signed a 6 fight contract, and is
about to make his next assault on the King Of The Cage Middleweight
division, On March 26, 2010 he will be fighting at the “Silver
Legacy” in Reno ,Nevada and will be starting his next path of
destruction. Mr. Jara has, and continues to lead, an inspiring
career especially to young up-and-coming fighters. “Just train hard,
and stay on the grind” was Jara’s advice to such individuals; advise
consistent with what we have seen in Jara’s fights and habits. He is
mentally unbreakable, with an unmatched will and a strong jaw; a
master of the grind. This disciplined fighter is about to be bad
news for anyone in the KOTC Middleweight division. Do not miss History being made on March 12th 2010 at the Sacramento Radisson.
