Big Brady Expert Confident picked Jul 28, 2020 (4 days before fight)

Jonathan Martinez

Big Brady picks Jonathan Martinez to win by decision. He views Martinez as a very good striker who is improving, while Frankie Saenz is on the decline at 39. He worries about Martinez's 33% takedown defense but believes Saenz lacks the cardio for a wrestling-heavy game plan. He notes Martinez has never been knocked out or submitted and expects him to win via volume striking.

"i really like jonathan martinez to win this fight"

Daniel Levi Expert Confident picked Jul 31, 2020 (1 day before fight)

MMA Lock of the Night Expert Confident picked Jul 29, 2020 (3 days before fight)

Jonathan Martinez

The host picks Martinez, citing his size and reach advantage, and that Saenz is past his prime at 39 with a questionable chin. He believes Martinez can keep the fight on the outside and finish Saenz, possibly by TKO in the second round. He also notes that Martinez has good submission threats off his back if taken down. He likes the under 2.5 rounds at +165 as a prop.

Jonathan Martinez

Marlon Vera vs. Frankie Saenz

Round 1
It’s now time for a bantamweight bout between Marlon Vera and Frankie Saenz. The referee is Jimmy Neely. They touch gloves and the fight is on. Vera with a body kick early but Saenz catches it and throws him away. Saenz with a low kick and then moves away from the counter of Vera. Saenz appears to be much smaller and will have to work to get inside. Saenz looks to land a straight right but Vera uses his long reach to clip Saenz with a jab that drops him. Saenz drops down for a single leg takedown in desperation but Vera falls on top of him as Saenz is rocked badly from the jab.
As Saenz clings to his leg, Vera hammers at the head of Saenz with short, hard punches including a couple to the back of the head. The referee has to jump in and stop the fight, giving Vera a quick first-round knockout win
.
