Danny Martinez
The Gremlin
Martinez defeated Richie Vaculik via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) at UFC 193 on Saturday in Melbourne, Australia.
ANALYSIS
When the going got tough, Martinez leaned on his wrestling. He had nearly two full rounds of top position time. Martinez did decently on the feet, but his brawling and reckless style wouldn't work against more talented fighters. It took four tries, but Martinez finally has his first UFC win. There probably won't be too many more unless he is facing terrible competition like Vaculik.

Danny Martinez: Still Winless In UFC Career
Martinez lost to Sirwan Kakai by unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 27-30) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Hollywood, Florida.
ANALYSIS
Martinez's brawling style is a serious problem. He's aggressive and he throws a ton of shots, but there's nothing to his game other than his striking. If he isn't landing, which he wasn't doing much of on Saturday, he isn't doing much of anything. Martinez, who hadn't fought in over a year, is now 0-4 in the UFC. It's entirely possible that he will be cut after this performance.
