UFC has added another superstar to its squad. An unbeaten prospect and Combate Global strawweight champion, Martinez (7-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) has signed a multi-fight deal with the promotion.
On September 10, former combat global champion Melissa Martinez will make her UFC debut against seven-time Octagon veteran Hannah Cifers. Lichald Scott was the first to report this news.
The 23-year-old Martinez (7-0) will enter her Octagon debut with a professional mark, with all but one of her victories coming under the Combate Global banner. This will be the first appearance since December 2019 for a native of Mexico City, who claimed 115 pounds of gold with a decisive victory over Desiree Yanez on the tito Ortiz Alberto Rodriguez undercard.
Martinez is also a decorated kickboxer who represented the Mexican national kickboxing team and won a gold medal at the 2016 Panamanian Kickboxing Championships and a silver medal at the 2017 World Games.
The Cifers (10-7) will likely be fighting for their UFC job after dropping four consecutive losses in the last two years. After entering the UFC with an 8-2 record in 2018, "Shockwave" abandoned its first fight before winning back-to-back victories. She has been on her 0-4 skid since 2020 and has not fought since competing against Mallory Martin this year. She was scheduled to face Emily Whitmere in 2021 before being forced to resign.
