Jonathan Martinez (30-27, 30-27, 29-28) def Wuliji Buren via unanimous decision
Bantamweight prospect Jonathan Martinez entered the UFC win column for the first time in the opener, scoring a three-round unanimous decision over China’s Wuliji Buren.
Scores were 30-27 twice and 29-28 for Martinez, now 10-2. Buren falls to 10-7.
Martinez had a solid first round in his second UFC bout, using some crisp kicks before taking control on the mat. Buren was never in serious trouble, but he did find himself in a hole on the scorecards entering round two.
Buren tried to turn things around in the second, getting Martinez to the mat just before the midway mark, but Martinez was busy enough to keep his foe from taking over, and as the round progressed, he regained the upper hand while the two grappled against the fence.
Buren opened the third with a takedown, and in an ensuing scramble, the Beijing native locked in an armbar, but Martinez smoothly escaped and took his foe’s back. With a little over a minute left, Buren got free, but he wasn’t able to turn the fight around, with Martinez finishing strong with ground strikes on his foe.
