“When I said I wanted a second round finish and it happened, I was really excited about that —just all the hard work we put in there,” Martinez said in a post-fight interview with the UFC. “He’s a really good boxer so we had to take his legs out, and after that, his hands wouldn’t be dangerous as much.
“To me, if you check the kick, I’m still gonna kick. You’ve got to break my legs — I’m still gonna kick.”
Thanks to his performance against Yanez, Martinez figures to receive another ranked foe for his next Octagon appearance. He’s also growing more comfortable competing in the sport’s premiere mixed martial arts organization.
“I’m obviously real excited. I’m in the best division in the UFC, in the world. I keep getting better and better. I’m barely 29 and I keep getting better,” Martinez said.
“Now it just feels like home. I think I’m about to go six years. Just another day in the office.”
