Mana Martinez Interview (29:12)
Closing out this week’s edition of TTP is an interview with Mana Martinez. He chats with Gumby about his upcoming bout with Brandon Davis and all of the ways that fight could go. He also talks about growing from losses like his most recent bout with Ronnie Lawrenece. That’s not all the growth they’re talking about. Gumby digs back into Mana Martinez to ask him about his amateur run that included four straight first round armbars. We had to know how that happened and how he then turned into the sharp striker that we see today. Luckily for us, Mana was more than happy to share the tale with us.
