Roque Martinez is a man of his word.
He proclaimed a quick finish, and that’s what he did Saturday night in Tokyo, Japan as he defended his Deep championship belt.
Leading into the fight, Martinez vowed to finish his opponent faster this time around. That’s exactly what he did with a first round ground-and-pound win over Ryo Sakai.
The 33-year-old Martinez improves to 14-5 (10-1-1 in his last 12 fights). Look for our heavyweight champ to stay active in 2019.
