Going outside the big promotions there are tons of sibling prospects in competition on the regional scene.
Out of Ecuador, the Martinetti brothers can now be seen fighting on UFC Fight Pass for Ultimate Warrior Challenge (UWC). Andres Luna Martinetti (12-0) is the former Fusion FC flyweight champion — a promotion out of Peru. He’s a jiu-jitsu fighter who most recently won via a rare calf slicer. His twin brother Adrian is a thriving bantamweight. Both these brothers you’ll see a lot more of in the future.
Everyone knows Brazil has a ton of high-level prospects. A pair of the nation’s best prospects happen to be brothers. Lightweight Ismael Bonfim (16-3) is on a ten-fight win streak. Along with a good amount of MMA experience, he has competed in boxing as well. As an amateur boxer, his record was 24-3 and as a pro it’s 4-1. His younger brother Gabriel is a weight class higher fighting at welterweight. Like his brother, he has a solid ground game but more so slick boxing. Both the Bonfim brothers debuted last year for LFA so they now have a larger audience.
On the come-up in the brothers of Ethan (3-0) and Dennis (7-3) Hughes. Even though Dennis has more experience more know of Ethan because he recently fought for Bellator. In fact, Dennis beat Mahmoud Fawzy Sebie who had hype behind his name. His brother Dennis has more pro experience and has been fighting for XFC beating other good prospects. Both still are unproven but have the upside.
