UFC Bantamweight David Martinez does not only get into a short-notice fight against Ronb font at NOCHE UFC. He wants to make a statement against a ranked veteran. In anticipation of their fight this Saturday, Martinez says that he is ready to test the font, to take advantage of any mistake and to prove that his youth is not liability, but a weapon.
Martinez (12-1) the UFC reached the back of a decision victory at Xavier Franklin in DWCS in 2024. After scoring an impressive first round of Saudon Oliveira in his UFC debut, he will go to Noche UFC in a short term.
“I had several changes. I was preparing for the Ecuadorian Carlos Vera. When Quang Le, but only a few weeks ago I received a phone call from my manager to offer me this fight, a ranked hunter,” said Martinez reporters including cageside press on Wednesday.
“I discussed it with my family and my coaches, and I felt ready to go. My coaches felt the same thing, so that’s how the fight arose.”
The experience factor is clearly on the side of font, but Martinez is not worried. He trusts his own background while he prepares for Saturday’s fight.
“He is a high -level striker. He has kept his place at the top for a long time, but I also fought against great hunters. It is nothing I have never seen before and I am ready for this fight,” he said.
NOCHE UFC was originally planned for Guadalajara, Mexico, but Arena Guadalajara-the brand new location under construction was not completed on time. As a result, the map was eventually moved to San Antonio.
“First I was (disappointed). I wanted to fight in my home country, represent my people, but I have the people in my heart,” he said.
“I fight with the Mexican people in my heart and that is where they will be.”
