Despite being considered the underdog in the matchup, Martin embraces the role. “That shit embraced. You know, like I say ‘bet with me, win with me.’ That shit is one of those things, like I embrace it. I’m eating off of it, it’s fueling me, so it is what it is. It ain’t going to change so I just got to go out there and do the unexpectable,” he explained.
Reflecting on what a win over Tank would mean for his career, Martin emphasized the significance of the opportunity. “It means everything. You know, this moment doesn’t come by like that for a lot of fighters. So me getting it and me being able to change the seat, get in that seat, it’s a blessing to be able to have that type of opportunity,” he shared.
