Today we lost an incredible man, friend, coach, and legend Saul Soliz. I started training with him in 2008 and knew right away he was the person I wanted to learn from. He knew more in his pinky than many others about mixed martial arts. Training at Metro fight club 5 days a week we created bonds and friendships that we still hold today and Saul was the glue that kept us together and the light that guided us. He was one the strongest person I’ve ever met and you knew you were training with the best. I would have never opened my own martial arts academy if not for him and he was always there to give his advice and even help me set up. Thank you for being such an impact on me and I am deeply saddened you are gone. I love you Saul Soliz and your memory will forever live on through the people you’ve inspired. #youaremissed #gonetoosoon #legend #mycoach #mma #mmaledgend
Today JR (Saul Soliz) past away @8:15 this morning- at the age of 55 he died from COVID – he fought a long hard fight, anyone that knew JR knows he was a UFC trainer, he loved training his fighters and showing them how to become winners, not only in fighting but also how to live life – he mentor so many , I’ll never know how many , I know it’s a long list. He really loved training his fighters- they all have great respect for him and they loved him also. My story with Jr begans when he was 13 years old , he lived direct behind me . I hired him to help me at my TV shop making deliveries and run service calls , not only help lifting heavy wooden console TVs , but installing antennas on roof top , running wires thru attic crawl spaces – doing custom media rooms, we did many different types of work residential and commercial. When we weren’t working – we went fishing, bowling, playing basketball,went to watch him play football, and we all learn how to ski – my brother Joe, JR and myself- Lita called us the “3 Musketeers” he was like a son to me – I also had a pool table in the garage, we spent many hours playing pool – he came to live with us his senior year of high school- we had a very close relationship, he moved away to Houston in his twenties, but we still kept in touch , he would come and spend a few days with us when he could . We went to State Fair of Texas few years together,JR meant a lot to me and my daughters and wife . My greatest joy was watching him laughing while watching TV – he loved watching a good comedy show, his laugh was uncontrollable . He loved comic books, he could draw with pencil really good, I would look at his drawings – it was amazing. JR was very talented, always kept in good condition . He loved watching Bruce Lee movies , he got his inspiration from Bruce Lee . He would meet someone at a park to train . When he told me this I thought this person was taking advantage of him , taking his money- he pulled out a magazine and unrolled it , showed me a picture of this person on the cover and said this is who is training me “wow” I was impressed. He loved training, I was so proud of him when he would show me what he learned. I have a lot of good memories that will be with me forever- now he’s gone to heaven with no more tubes hooked up to him , God was with him through all this suffering while in the hospital, it was time for God to take him home . God knows to the moment when he will takes us. We may not understand it and want it not to happen- we never want to let go of the people we love ,we want to hold on to them and not let go, it hurts with great pain knowing I won’t see him and spend time with him. But I know I will always cherish the time I spent with him and all the memories- now is the time to celebrate his life , he left his footprint on this earth, his path has touched many lives – he was loved by so many . I know JR is in heaven maybe training the Angels and watching down on us . May all of students, fighters carry on the legacy of JR be the best you can be. He was a very special person, I will miss him and my heart will need time to heal- I’m hurting, crying, wanting to spend more time with him , it’s hard knowing I won’t . I know God is with him , I will continue my life knowing how special he was to me , thank you JR for all the memories- I love you JR
The man the myth the legend. Saul Soliz gave so much to everyone he could, one of the best men I have ever know. Every time I asked him for help he gave me more than I knew at the time or know now. He’s the type of guy you owe in ways you could never repay. If anyone knows the details on his service please dm me so I can be there. Heartbreaking loss to the community.
