Who is MMA fighter Javier Baez?

Javier 'Unbreakable' Baez is a 34-year-old professional MMA fighter based out of Miami, Florida. He has a record of 5-2-1, with his last fight coming in 2018.

Baez, who shares a name with the Detroit Tigers' shortstop of the MLB, began his career 5-0 through the first five years of his career before fighting Kester Mark to a split draw. Baez would lose his next two fights and has not fought since losing to Diego Silva.

According to his Instagram account, Baez appears to be doing the bulk of his training out of the UFC Gym in Kendall, Florida. However, he also posted a considerable amount of training footage from the MMA Masters gym in Hialeah, Florida.

Baez even posted an instructional wrestling video referring to himself as 'Coach Javi from MMA Masters.'

In the past couple of years, Baez seemingly has shifted his focus towards coaching rather than fighting. It is unclear whether or not the Florida native intends to make a return to fighting or has settled into his role as a wrestling coach.
