Ivan E. Salaverry (born January 11, 1971) is a Canadian mixed martial arts fighter and instructor. He is a member of Tito Ortiz's Team Punishment, and is known for his well-rounded skills and calm behavior. Salaverry is a middleweight veteran of the Ultimate Fighting Championship and the now-defunct World Fighting Alliance. After a long layoff, he made his UFC return at UFC 71, losing to Terry Martin.
He is also notable for being a pioneer of the crucifix-style position from side control, which is often referred to as "The Salaverry" during Mixed Martial Arts broadcasts, particularly by UFC commentator Joe Rogan.
[edit] Personal life
He opened his own gym, Ivan Salaverry MMA, October 2005, in Seattle, Washington, where he lives with his wife and 2 sons, Ivan and Gabriel. In a recent interview with he said:
“This could be it for me, I honestly can tell you. I had a very nice career. I’ve talked it over with my wife and family, and the priorities are really going into the school, teaching, maybe some promotions, creating a fight team. Things of that nature.”
In what could possibly be his last MMA fight, Salaverry took on Brazilian newcomer Rousimar Palhares at UFC 84 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on May 24, 2008, losing by Submission (armbar) at 2:36 of Round 1.
