As a Mixed Martial Arts fighter who aspires to a title shot someday, Rad Martinez must make sacrifices to train his body to compete in this sport's pitiless, physical competition. But for this 32-year-old from Utah .... there is another sacrifice that has come to define his existence...a promise etched in pain.
