Martinez, brother of UFC strawweight Melissa Martinez, is on quite the streak of six consecutive wins, including five finishes. One of those stoppages came over former UFC contender Francisco Rivera.
The most recent’s victory marked Martinez’s second title defense of his Combate Global bantamweight title. His lone career loss came in 2021 in a split decision against Gianni Vazquez.
