Unofficial reports suggest that Barez was involved in a dispute with his ex-coach, known as “Titin.” Some sources claim that Barez was hit with a medal by the coach’s elder son.
It is also alleged that Barez’s girlfriend was assaulted during this incident. Additional details about Barez’s former coach, Jose Luis Zapatero, also known as “Titin,” a retired Spanish MMA fighter, are being shared on Twitter. Tweets suggest that Zapatero is known as a “former neo-Nazi.” He has been linked to the murder of a minor, for which he reportedly served time in prison.
