David Martinez · 71%

Clear FightLedger lean, but with a realistic counter-path for the opponent.

Prediction

Martinez gets one of FightLedger's stronger leans on the card. He brings youth, speed, pressure and real finishing power into a matchup where Ige is making a move down to bantamweight after a long run at featherweight. Ige's experience and durability keep him dangerous, but Martinez should have the fresher and more sustainable offensive game.
