Bantamweight Looks To Extend His Six-Fight Winning Streak Against Former Bantamweight Champion José Aldo During UFC 301 Co-Main Event.

May. 3, 2024

I don’t know if the members of the Factory X gym in Englewood, Colorado were chanting “Uh vai morrer” on Friday sparring days as Jonathan Martinez prepared for his UFC 301 bout with Jose Aldo, but when it happens for real on Saturday night in Rio de Janeiro, the “Dragon” will be ready for it.

He might even like it.

“Honestly, I'm kind of excited,” Martinez laughs when asked about the probability that fans at Farmasi Arena will be telling him he’s going to die on fight night.
