Jonathan “Dragon” Martinez (12-3 MMA, 3-2 UFC)
Bantamweight (135lbs): 3-2 (UFC), Missed weight 1 time
Jonathan Martinez had an extensive record in the flyweight division before entering the UFC, including missing weight while in the division. Martinez stands at 5’8″ and posses a 69.5″ reach, a very long frame for 135lbs, the division that he moved up to just one fight before landing his UFC contract.
Jonathan Martinez missed weight ahead of his most recent fight against Frankie Saenz back in August. Martinez weighed in at 140.5lbs for the bout, missing weight by 4.5lbs.
Jonathan would actually go on to get the win over his opponent the next day, with a 3rd round flying knee/ ground n’ pound TKO. But thanks to his weight cutting issues the day prior he was not eligible for a Performance of the Night bonus. Martinez will again cut down to 135lbs to face Thomas Almeida at UFC Fight Island 6.
