Martinez outhustling Buren here.
 
Martinez with superior cardio in a close fight
 
R1: Buren (close)
R2: Martinez
R3: Martinez

Jonathan Martinez 2-1, clear win imo.
 
Won 1u on Martinez, but man, wish I had gone much heavier there, before being scared off by some of the analysis here. :)
 
Blind degen tail unsuccessful

Jerk fails
 
Martinez via actually wanting the win

He was pretty quick in the scrambles. I was actually impressed with him there. He definitely has weaknesses, but that hustle can take him somewhere.
 
As I stated in the discussion topic, I really didn't understand the love for Buren. Yeah, he is bigger and has better wrestling, but that's not enough in modern MMA at bantamweight. His top control is shit and he has no GnP.

I was impressed, TD defence was weak which as a shame but very good for a BJJ blue belt and he strikes intelligently which was enjoyable to watch.
 
Turner ITD now. Potter should be getting cut after this.
