"I've been preparing for the best fighters in the division, so I was prepared to fight anyone," he told media outlets including Cageside Press following the bout. "That's it.""

Being able to do the two things that I love the most, fighting and medicine. I think it would be great, wonderful." Now coming off his biggest win yet, Martinez didn't have any names he wanted to call out on Saturday."
