Art Jimmerson, known to MMA fans as the one-gloved boxer from UFC 1, is now the boxing instructor at a UFC Gym.
From his interview with Ben Fowlkes of MMAFighting.com:
"The one glove, that was kind of a trick. I knew I was knocking cats out with fifteen-ounce gloves, so what am I going to do to someone with my bare hand? They had no idea who I was, so I wanted to wear the one glove so he'd think I wanted to hit him with that hand, but then I'd suck him in and hit him with the other, right? I told them I wanted to wear one glove and they were like, 'Fine, wear one glove.'"

yes. but it’s also not so bad. i mean, he was the 1983 national golden gloves champ. it’s not like he’s unqualified to be a boxing instructor for random joe schmoe’s

I think its cool of the UFC. Jimmerson was a part of UFC history, and he was a proficient boxer, so why not ask him to be a boxing instructor?
Now they just need to bring in Harold Howard (from Jail) for Karate, Joe Son (from jail) to teach Joe Son Do, Kimo Leopoldo (from the grave…) for TKD, and Emmanual Yarborough for Sumo, and the UFC will be able to create the Ultimate Fighter!!!!!!

Kimo isn't dead (unless you was joking and i totally missed it)
He came out the woodwork asking everybody when he died. Then he got busted for possession.
