We are beyond excited for and proud of Henry Martinez, who has been asked to fight in the UFC this Saturday! For those of you that don’t know, Henry is the Coach of our jits program here at Undisputed, which is the future home of 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu.
10th Planet is the lineage of Tait’s jiu jitsu and has been studied by Henry as a Ronin for years. It can be seen in Henry’s grappling and MMA fights. Henry won his last fight on January 21st by a triangle from the back in the second round. Henry is listed as being 8-1 with only two of those wins being decisions…he’s a finisher!
The UFC called on January 26th and asked Henry to fight Matt Riddle on the 4th of February! Henry is usually competitive at 155 and will fight at Riddle’s weight of 170 for this bout, which won’t faze Henry, as he has even fought at 205 in the past!! There’s nobody more game for this this short notice fight! We can not wait to watch Henry’s debut fight for the UFC!!!!!
