A story that hasn't received nearly enough press over the last week or so is Greeley's heavy handed Ryan Martinez getting signed by one of the last standing MMA promotions outside of the UFC in the 'Bellator Fighting Championship'.
Thats where http://www.uppercutsnews.com/ comes in, bringing any and all Rocky Mountain MMA/Boxing news to the masses.
While other local so called MMA news sites have been more worried about getting to the 'UFC 150' press conference, 'Uppercuts Inc.' is still dedicated to spreading the word of local fighters more than any mainstream related combat sports news.
Martinez has steady dominated the local shows for years and was most recently part of the 'Strikeforce' heavyweight tournament.
Here is what Martinez had to say on the big news.
"The second I heard 'Bellator' had interest in bringing me over, I thought the move was a no-brainer, so everything came together pretty quickly.
"Bellator, without a doubt in my mind, has the hungriest and most exciting fighters in this sport, and I want to be a part of that.
"Cole Konrad has an unbelievable wrestling base and background, and Brett Rogers has made a name for himself in this sport, but all I see are guys that will be good names to put on my resume as wins.
"Nobody is as hungry as I am, and I’m ready to give it 120 percent."
Stay tuned as details will soon emerge on Martinez's first opponent under the 'Bellator' banner.
