N\u00e9 le 25 mars 1996 \u00e0 Houston (Texas), il a des origines mexicaines et philippines, un p\u00e8re Gil qui a fait du pankration en amateur (2 victoires, 0 d\u00e9faite) et une m\u00e8re Leona pass\u00e9e par la boxe. \u00c0 quatre ans, ses parents l&rsquo;inscrivent au karat\u00e9. Trente ans plus tard, il est toujours l\u00e0, au c\u0153ur de l&rsquo;octogone.<\/p>\n<h3>Parcours : de Houston \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC<\/h3>\n<p>Martinez construit son palmar\u00e8s sur la sc\u00e8ne texane avec la promotion Fury FC et la Legacy FC, encha\u00eenant les finishes d\u00e8s ses d\u00e9buts professionnels en 2016. Il exp\u00e9die Clarence Brown en deux rounds d\u00e8s sa premi\u00e8re sortie, puis Dulani Perry en janvier 2017 met un frein \u00e0 l&rsquo;\u00e9lan avec une d\u00e9faite aux points \u00e0 LFA 7. Qu&rsquo;importe : la machine repart, avec six victoires en sept combats entre 2017 et 2021, dont plusieurs KO\/TKO au premier round qui lui valent son surnom \u00ab\u00a0ManaBoi\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p>En 2020, il tente sa chance au Dana White&rsquo;s Contender Series, mais Drako Rodriguez l&rsquo;\u00e9trangle en triangle au premier round (8 septembre 2020). Un \u00e9chec, pas une fin. Martinez retravaille ses fondamentaux et signe l&rsquo;ann\u00e9e suivante une victoire exp\u00e9ditive contre Jose Johnson \u00e0 Fury FC 46 (32 secondes, coups de poing) \u2014 devant Dana White, en personne dans les tribunes.<\/p>\n<p>Son contrat UFC arrive dans des circonstances douloureuses : Saul Soliz, son entra\u00eeneur de longue date, d\u00e9c\u00e8de onze jours avant son debut \u00e0 l&rsquo;octogone. Le 28 ao\u00fbt 2021, Martinez rend hommage \u00e0 son coach en dominant Guido Cannetti par d\u00e9cision partag\u00e9e.<\/p>\n<h3>Passage \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC<\/h3>\n<p>La suite dans l&rsquo;UFC oscille entre bonnes performances et r\u00e9sultats frustraits. Il encaisse une d\u00e9faite aux points contre Ronnie Lawrence \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 271 (12 f\u00e9vrier 2022), puis revient fort avec une victoire en d\u00e9cision partag\u00e9e contre Brandon Davis en octobre 2022. \u00c0 l&rsquo;UFC 285 (4 mars 2023), Cameron Saaiman prend le dessus aux points et Martinez se retrouve \u00e0 2-3 dans l&rsquo;organisation. Ce bilan pousse l&rsquo;UFC \u00e0 ne pas renouveler son contrat.<\/p>\n<p>Retour \u00e0 la Fury FC, sa maison texane. Une d\u00e9faite par arr\u00eat face \u00e0 Felipe Efrain en juin 2023, un No Contest contre Reyes Cortez en d\u00e9cembre 2024 apr\u00e8s un coup de doigt dans l&rsquo;\u0153il en fin de premier round, et une nouvelle d\u00e9faite aux points contre Abdul Kamara le 17 ao\u00fbt 2025. Le record g\u00e9n\u00e9ral s&rsquo;\u00e9tablit \u00e0 10 victoires, 6 d\u00e9faites, 1 NC.<\/p>\n<h3>Style et profil technique<\/h3>\n<p>Karat\u00e9 en base \u2014 ceinture noire \u2014 avec une touche de jiu-jitsu br\u00e9silien (ceinture violette). Le gauche est lourd, l&rsquo;approche longue distance, et le finishing rate parle pour lui : la grande majorit\u00e9 de ses victoires sont venues avant la limite, majoritairement par KO\/TKO. Il s&rsquo;est entra\u00een\u00e9 avec James Krause \u00e0 Glory MMA &amp; Fitness (Missouri) apr\u00e8s ses d\u00e9buts \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC, en compl\u00e9ment de sa base au Metro Fight Club de Houston. Debout, Martinez est dangereux ; mais ses limites ont souvent \u00e9t\u00e9 expos\u00e9es face \u00e0 des grappleurs solides.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sources-article\"><strong>Sources :<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/athlete\/mana-martinez\">UFC.com<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/verdictmma.com\/fighter\/mana-manaboi-martinez\">Verdict MMA<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/news\/no-turning-back-mana-martinez-early-prelims-bantamweight-ufc-271\">UFC.com (interview 2022)<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mana \u00ab\u00a0ManaBoi\u00a0\u00bb Martinez, poids coq texan aux origines mexicano-philippines, karat\u00e9ka d\u00e8s 4 ans pass\u00e9 par l&rsquo;UFC.
