On Saturday there will be five newcomers stepping foot for the first time in the Octagon, and one of them is “The Brick” Victor Martinez (13-4) who will be making his debut against lightweight Jordan Leavitt (10-2).
Martinez, who has been a professional fighter since 2011 and holds a Fury FC 155-pound title, earned a UFC contract on Dana White’s Contender Series with a unanimous decision against Jacob Rosales. He hopes that his experience in the UFC APEX, where he earned his contract, will give him a sense of comfortability come fight night.
Martinez is riding a hot streak of seven straight wins and is eager to extend it to eight and give Leavitt a second consecutive loss.
The main card, headlined by light heavyweights Nikita Krylov and Ryan Spann, starts at 6 p.m. The prelims and main card can be streamed on ESPN+
