UFC adds Fatima Kline vs. Melissa Martinez to July 12 event in Nashville

BAD MMA News — Thu, 10 Apr 2025 14:01:08 +0000

UFC strawweight prospects Fatima Kline and Melissa Martinez will square off in July. Kline takes on Martinez at a UFC Fight Night event on July 12, which is expected for Nashville, Tenn. Two people with knowledge of the booking recently informed MMA Junkie of the matchup but asked to remain anonymous since the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. Kline (7-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC), a former Cage Fury champion, faced a stern test in her octagon debut when she stepped in on short notice to face surging flyweight contender Jasmine Jasudavicius last July. She wound up suffering her first-career loss, but was able to rebound when she stopped Victoria Dudakova by Round 2 TKO at UFC Fight Night 249. Martinez (8-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) has also split her first two octagon appearances.

Some folks say there’s not enough time in the day to get daily tasks done, but David Martinez is proving that to be a myth. Until recently, Martinez (10-1) simultaneously juggled not one – but two – highly-demanding professional paths. Martinez was a surgeon by day and a fighter by night. He worked in family medicine at a hospital in Mexico. “It’s very nice because I wake up very early,” Martinez told MMA Junkie.

Meet the 7 new fighters added to the UFC women’s divisions

BAD MMA News — Tue, 07 Jun 2022 02:06:37 +0000

These days, there are two main ways athletes can onboard the UFC roster. The first and most frequent way is to earn your UFC paperwork on Dana White’s Contender Series. The second recurrent option is to take a short-notice fight when someone falls out of a scheduled bout. While the rule is not hard-and-fast, individual regular-notice signings are unusual. That’s why a recent signing spree of over a half-dozen athletes to the women’s divisions over the past couple of weeks is even more obtuse.
