Xclusive MMA: All right, hello hi everybody this is Drew with Xclusive MMA, and I’ve got Martin “The Spartan” Day on the line. Hey Martin, how are you doing?
Martin Day: What’s up, I’m doing good, good, thank you.
Xclusive MMA: Awesome. You gotta fight coming up pretty soon
Martin Day: yes soon, in Columbus Ohio
Xclusive MMA: awesome and who’s your opponent at this time
Martin Day: right now I got Randy Costa
Xclusive MMA: that Randy Costa, he took out a Boston in his last fight I believe
Martin Day: He sure did, I’m a get this one back for Hawaii bro
Xclusive MMA: and I so this this this fight coming up has the makings of stand and bang a Hawaii Style Fight.
Martin Day:
yeah, its actually not going to be so much stand and banging, it would be me standing with him standing and me out striking him. I guarantee he’ll be shooting, but you know I’ll bet he won’t be able to handle my striking and I’m going to put that on display March 28
Xclusive MMA:
Oh nice, we can’t wait to see it. I noticed in his last five fights or something most of his fights again first round kos
Martin Day:
yeah, I don’t know that, yeah, he definitely comes out aggressive, but if you watch those four, you can be the judge of that fight as far as the opponent quality.
Xclusive MMA:
yeah absolutely so so you feeling any ring rust I think your last fight was at the end of November 2018 right.
Martin Day:
yeah that’s correct I don’t have room because ring rust is a mental weakness the mental deficiency is when you allow these outside pressures and the anxiety to take over you and then that’s what creates the ring rust. its a mental thing. so when I get when I go in there it’s just it’s just why I put on this earth to do so I go in there I have fun and I just let my training and my preparation take care of me. so there is no ring rust, there’s no pressure. I just go in there and I do what i have to do made to do
Xclusive MMA:
nice you’re ready to go
Martin Day:
yeah absolutely
Xclusive MMA:
absolutely yeah and so I mean your last your last 2 fights with the UFC with ping Yuang Liu, is that how you say his name, I’m not sure
Martin Day:
im not sure
Xclusive MMA:
anyways that fight went 3 rounds and I personally thought you won it and then it went to the judges they gave it to the other guy and then your your contender fight also the same thing it went 3 rounds
watching that fight you look so strong in the third round I thought you win and it went to the judges and they gave it to the other guy so. Is that in the back of your mind going into this fight ?
Martin Day:
Only God knows what the judges look for into a fight sometime, I’m complaining or anything but it’s my fault I gotta stop letting it be in the hands of the judges. I got to get out of their hands. During my fight don’t go and take a lunch break because if its not going to decision.
Xclusive MMA:
perfect yeah I can go all the way you guys have been suffering a little bit when the fights go the distance lately
Martin Day:
yeah man the judging is is here and there you know it’s it’s tough to know what the the judges are looking at as far as like the grappling exchanges that strike exchanges you know there’s different types so I think that somthing has to be done about the judging process but yeah not up to me to decide that
Xclusive MMA:
yeah like it’s as Max says it is what it is right
Martin Day:
yeah yep that’s right and then that’s the guy right there who goes for the finished too
Xclusive MMA:
so absolutely he’s he’s one of you’re training partners ?
Martin Day:
yep help me out a lot for this fight. he’s a coming in doing a bunch of rounds for me I’m constantly picking his brain you know so what better guy to have
Xclusive MMA:
it never hurts to have the best of the best in your corner in your camp to the guide you a little bit
