But Magny is fighting Burns next and this guy is fighting some bum on a regional circuit. And the charge sounds like a bs too and a made up one.

For his 50k/50k salary they can sign 5 absolute birdshit cans to help tune their favorite fighters up rather than having risky outs like him in the rankings.

Imagine if Roger Goodell cut the Detroit Lions and signed TCU to the league instead and had Aaron Rodgers face them instead as prep for a superbowl.

True story. I think they do that not just to him, but throughout the org.

those two pictures are crazy, like they swapped sizes in some freaky friday situation

 

[jeff7b9]

so the alleged assault is him yelling at cops. sounds deadly.

Sticks and stones can break your bones but words... are literally violence, and will get you actually arrested and charged with assault.

This year just keeps getting crazier and crazier, and we are only ten days in.



Tony Martin AKA Tony Rocco Martin who fought for the UFC between 2014-2020, and last competed under the CES banner.

Tony Martin charged with assault on law enforcement officer

According to police reports obtained by Bloody Elbow, deputies from the Lee County Sheriff’s Office responded to an abandoned 911 call (whereby a caller hangs up before speaking to the dispatcher) at an address in Bonita Springs. The report notes that the deputies had “just previously been at this location for a verbal disturbance.”

Once deputies arrived at the Bonita Springs address, they encountered a crying “white female” in a black Ford Expedition. The woman informed the deputies that “she just wanted to leave.”

While speaking to the woman, a “white male,” who was later identified as Martin, approached the deputies in the residence’s front yard. The report says Martin “appeared inebriated” and told the deputies to “get off my f–king property right now.”

When told by the deputies that an active investigation was underway, Martin reportedly responded, “I don’t care, and if you touch me, I will kick your ass.”

According to the report, Martin then “continued to escalate yelling and shouting statements such as, ‘I hate cops and you can suck my dick.’”

At that point, deputies reportedly restrained Martin after his “continuous attempts to square up face to face, in an aggressive posture with Deputies.”

While restrained, Martin reportedly said to one of the deputies, “You think you’re a bad man, if you take me out of these cuffs’ I will kick your ass.”

The report says the deputy later discovered Martin was a mixed martial artist and that because of the statements from Martin, the deputy “was in fear of physical harm from Martin.”

Martin was arrested and booked into the Lee County Justice Center at 5:16 am. He was bonded out of custody later that day, with a bail set at $5,000.

A hearing on the misdemeanor charge was scheduled for January 10, 2023, but Martin’s lawyer filed a request for a jury trial on a not-guilty plea. As a result, Martin remains free on $5,000 bail. He is scheduled to appear before a judge on February 22, 2023.

Where was the assault though?


All i see is drunk guy yelling at cops and squaring up with them ...

Dont see anything about laying hands on cops or hitting nobody..

We pressing charges for what might happen now instead of whats happening?...

Seems abit over the top on both ends...

Also once your out of the UFC it really isnt a bad look for the promotion anymore...just looks like lifes rough for Martin since leaving lol

Fun story about Tony Martin being a weirdo.

Tony beat my friend on one of the UFC Vegas cards and immediately after the fight, less then 10 mins after leaving the octagon, he went through my friends Twitter and IG comments and then DMed every person who wrote something like "Kick his Ass" or "You're gunna kill this guy" and talked crazy shit to them.

He definitely has some kind of mental illness.

 

[Joinho10]

Ali Abdelaziz stay undefeated

 

[MuffinsAppletree]

So this is gonna delay him spilling his guts on Kayla and Ali isn't it?

seems like he’s having a breakdown. I read his Twitter the other day. He needs to get help imo.
Best of luck to him.

Lmao wtf..


Thats heavy

Yea he's nuts. He sent at least 3 dozen DMs to random people.

 

[JoeganMoldberg]

A shame his name wasn't Dana; now he is facing charges for being drunk and belligerent, instead of being defended online for making a woman cry and wanting to leave.
Cops sound like they were more than happy to escalate the situation and are lovely people lol.


Dude is a perfect example of the UFC treating their fighters like dogshit a single loss to Magny and a very solid record and a top 25 rank.
Then ends up with horrible staph and having drinking problems because the company that he succeeded in kicked him to the curb while signing a bunch of dogshit cantenders for cheap instead. Dude didn't have a single bad loss.

Hi Toni!!

I'd believe this if your friends were retirees at an irish bar.

He could have very well been on a 10 or 11 fight win streak at that point. His fights with Maia and OAM were close too, many people thought he got robbed.
