Filed under: News Martin Davila Martin Davila had already described his mother’s deportation to Peru, his enlistment in the Marines to find guidance in his life (and avoid being kicked out of his father’s house), his time in Iraq, and his time in South Korea. His biggest laugh during the conversation came when he was asked about the start of his amateur MMA career. “Only me,” Davila told MMAjunkie. “It’s so funny.” The joke is this: Davila prepared for his first two amateur MMA fights while he was out in the field training with his Marines unit. He was cutting weight in the final week by bringing his own food and doing extra workouts after his unit finished its brutal tactical work for the day
