Vitaly Minakov vs Ryan Martinez Fight Video - Bellator 97

Vitally looked off or even bad but I don't think enough praise has been given to Martinez.

Before aka he was a 1st round brawler he went fir it and either won or gassed always had heavy hands and decent wrestling.

Since being at aka he has improved exponentially from his boxing,wrestling,and overall movement I was impressed.

He is about 20 or 30 lbs lighter as hiss gut wasn't nearly as round and hus cardio while still failing in the 3rd liked much better.

Most impressive was his counter brawling he can time the break now and his arms allow for brutal hooks that float over opponents punches.

I was very surprise to see how close Martinez came to upsetting minakov great fight.

Minakov didn't really look bad, its just Ryan Martinez is a pretty underrate fighter himself. I think a lot of people just pass judgement off of him based solely on his poor physique.

Watch one of his early fights and watch last night talk about evolution

He's been on my radar for a while he was in one of my hw talent lists he is underrated even while being in aka

I see him being a wrecking machine with some combo work and if his wrestling gets more fluint he can pose a real threat to a lot of guys in bellator.
