At least the fights are fairly close to each other so there is a little bit of momentum. Even though Martinez is bigger I dont think he will be stupid enough to punch with Mayorga.

The bout is in Nicaragua and apparantly Mayorga is very popular in his home country, he is also very pally with the promoter and now they know he cant be banned from MMA there because of the freedom to work law, he always has the option to do some move that will make MMA fans cry and get the win, or at least leave another fighter on his back screaming
I hope he doesn't have to resort to disgraceful unsportsmanlike tactics again.

Thumbing a guy in the eye is one thing (the Michael Walker fight), but kneeing him in the spine is uncalled for and dangerous.

I really hope Mayorga beats this Cuban streetfighter, but the guy is A LOT bigger than Mayorga and 4-0-1 in MMA, although I checked his opponent list and they all had losing records, some terrible records.
