[amberorvin21]

Rad is a great friend :)

[Shawette1988]

Now's that what you call a GOOD son and a MAN!

[AZPlayboy28]

I pray my children honor my wife and I in the same way. What a good son and a blessing to his family.

[yumjesusjuice]

[victorhaminez]

if god exists he already made a first class ticket for you to heaven

[HRider911]

I don't even watch MMA, but this guy is the absolute definition of heart and soul. This is the kind of athlete in ANY sport I can get behind. Every fiber of his being is driven, and his dedication to his dad's excellent care makes him that much more persistent in the ring. GO RAD!

[swarmis]

Hero! Go Rad! Come roll at Gracie Humaita in Del Mar anytime bro.

[BombProofPenguin]

Doctors have told Rad that his dad is a physically healthy man and should live a long life with Rad by him, I saw this on ESPN today

[MasterOogway1]

[jiminycracker]

praying and hoping the best for this family - makes me want to be a better son and father

[bigmancp9221]

This was heart wrenching to watch. I was frozen while watching this.

[MegaMrwes]

[bboales07]

[nieldogg]

Rad Martinez is mos def one of the few human beings that I would say is a hero!!!!

[USCxGamecocks]

I am now his biggest fan after seeing this.

[timbiy]

Isaw the whole interview at espn and I had a knot on my throat from the courage Rad has for his father...how he takes care of him with ZERO regret...this is what I call a MAN, the type of guy that just confronts the problem and copes with it! Rad Martinez, you have a fan for LIFE, and that's me...keep going my dear Rad, you're gonna make it (:

[jhasselbee]

Rad, it takes a real man to give up most of your free time and take care of your father. Most people would only put in a fourth of the work you do. You give up 99% of time you could use for YOU by helping your dad. Your definetely the most unselfish man i've seen.

[ticobrown295]

Great Story and even greater commitment!!!! Wish nothing but the best for Martinez and his father.

[Ivesomuchtotellyou]

Wow, this man is a hero. Dana, get on it.

[scntlessapprntis]

You just gained another fan Rad. You truly are an inspiration, thank you.

[scubawrestler]

It's an honor to call RAD my friend.

[tonioii35]

This guy "has" mad heart! Good luck in his upcoming fights they deserve to go all the way!

[chelene28]

What an amazing person! Such a touching story.

[oliverbloom]

Hey, it's Cort from the Ultimate Fighter.

[kyle7566]

can his dad still be able to think good enough to know whats going around him? It just says he has near-vegistative state.
