Champion

[tomasek262]

Thats an amazing guy! God bless him

[petenel74]

I know this man personally. He is a class act, as a fighter and a man. He's no fake, you get what you see. He'd take care of anyone he loved for. Give the shirt off his back. That's the way Rad is. Oh and he'd whoop your ass if you ever crossed him. LOL

[kenseisato1989]

chill guys people where crying too hard and accidently clicked dislike

[andee82]

A truly moving piece, I struggled to hold the tears back. I'm rooting for you and your dad, Rad.

[ICE999KOLD]

Who ever disliked this video is a cold hearted fucken person.

[nyba23]

Dislike shouldn't even be on option on this video. Good luck with everything Rad

[lifestriplecrown]

he is one of the most amazing people I have ever seen, he deserves everything he gets because he works harder than anyone in MMA. Good luck Martinez

[photographymatt]

Great video. Sherdog says he is 24 thou. dont usually get that stuff wrong.lol :-)

I have a short list of people who inspire me to keep going when it gets hard, Rad Martinez is now on that list.

[PearceTimmy]

Thank you Rad. You have touched my heart and brought real perspective to my eyes. My heart has been touched. I am pulling for you. God Bless

[crazychica350]

I'm so excited to interview him for my school project tomorrow :)

Anyone who disliked this needs to jump off the face of the earth you heartless monster

[mmaTapoutbz]

Dam..

[kickbxingbboy]

Im legitimately pissed that two people disliked this.  I almost cried during this, good luck in your fight saturday Rad.

[KePexMiRober]

I had a similar experience but mine was different in many ways, which makes me more interested in this role model.

Rad, you sir are a great man.... Good student and athlete, etc but over that is the human aspect and that in the end is why your mother and grandma are going to be so proud of you, God bless you brother

[condospatrick]

While watching this program I was taken back to a time when people truly cared for each other. A time when families looked after each other and took care of members of our own. I was taken back by the care and the hope he has. This is truly a man that is a man, god bless you and keep you.

Dr. Pat.

[RealMartyKeane]

Nothing but respect to Rad, deserves a shot at the big time just for his story. True warrior.

[Amantzaris1]

Why would anyone dislike this? You have absolutely no heart at all. Fighters spirit through and through, 110% in everything in life is the way to go. Never give up, never back down. Every challenge in front of you as an individual you must overcome. Much respect for this fighter and his family. Good luck..

[BeatDownBabe81]

TRULEY AMAZING ......... YES it is SO SIMPLY but A LOT of people WOULD not do IT !! Thats reality and that is SAD !! GOOD LUCK RAD !! I PRAY U do as awesome in the UFC as U do with UR DAD !!

[ramses1134]

i would love to know who was the idiot that disliked this video. how do u dislike this video, the guy is an inspiration. hopefully he will do well in the upcoming bellator tournament, there is some really good and tough competition there. much respect and best of luck to u sir.

[chacho76bjj]

People are always taking life for granted cause they don't have responsibilities, so there's nothing to fight for.. Rad UFC or not your world class, to keep your promise to your past grandmother is world class, to stay by your fathers side when he needs you most is world class.. And I know that he knows it's you who can take care of him, how could he forget such a blessing... This video was very moving and reminds me of how fortunate I am. I cherish what I have and I'm grateful for who I know..

[Cephalopodapus]

This is one of the most inspirational things I have ever seen. It really puts things into perspective...

[jonizo89]

Truly inspirational. Be strong and chase that dream bro.

[balletman]

Rad is a very cool guy. I had the opportunity to train with him when I lived in Utah. Rolling with him is like wrestling a grizzly bear. I've never seen him open up like this about his personal life though. I never saw the guy complain, or flinch, or back down from anything actually. The dude is one strong, strong, human being in every sense of the word. If anyone is capable of sponsoring this guy, please, do it. He definitely has what it takes to be world class in MMA.

[SergioTorres713]

All my respect goes out to Rad.. Its difficult when ur world changes and you have to stand up and become stronger than you ever thought you would have to be. but as i have seen its just a part of life we all have to encounter that makes us appreciate life and the ones that we love.

[xAmrit]

Rad, you are a great man, much respect.

[1234zen1234]

Manly tears have been shed

[Wizhix]

damn strenght

[CRABCORE4EVA]

[CRABCORE4EVA]

[StUpidP0seRS]

Rad, you just got yourself a new fan bro.

Absolutely inspiring. 

[tetonbuck]

An uplifting story in a world full of turmoil and strife. Thanks! Ü

[Filbertfriend]

What i would give just to meet this man and shake his hand. Not only is this beyond inspirational, it has showed me just how hard some people have it, and just how blessed I really am. My new favorite fighter, and soon to be champ. If heart truly does win championships, the only way Rad can go is up to the very top.

[mmawrestlereg]

Rad is such an inspiration. If he makes it to a title holder one day, this would just prove that "Impossible" is just a word used to keep yourself from trying.
