Jonathan Martinez now has something in common with UFC Fight Night 230 headliner Edson Barboza after picking up another TKO victory by leg kicks.
Martinez (19-4 MMA, 10-3 UFC) faced Adrian Yanez on the main card of the event at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas in what promised to be an exciting bantamweight bout between two solid strikers. Martinez was able to compromise the left leg of Yanez (16-5 MMA, 5-2 UFC), leading to a TKO at 2:26 of Round 2.
Once Martinez figured out the range, he began digging in hard calf kicks to the left leg of Yanez. Midway through the round, he connected with a kick that caused Yanez to stumble around while heavily favoring his limb. Martinez poured on the pressure and looked for another kick, but Yanez did well to recover to prevent a finish.
