Nearly pulls of miracle comeback
Martinez lost to Ronnie Lawrence via unanimous decision (27-29, 27-29, 28-29) at UFC 271 on Saturday in Houston.
ANALYSIS
Martinez didn't emerge with the victory he entered the Toyota Center in search of, but he nearly pulled off a miracle after being M.I.A. for each of the first two rounds. Well on his way to a lopsided unanimous decision loss entering the third frame, Martinez floored Lawrence with a perfect back first before connecting with some follow up shots. Lawrence was in all sorts of trouble, but managed to push through and force Martinez back to the mat. A Martinez armbar again nearly ended the fight, but it wasn't meant to be. The Houston native put on quite a show in his hometown despite the setback. Still just 25 years of age, Martinez -- who is now 1-1 in the UFC -- is worth keeping an eye on as 2022 progresses.
