Alonzo Martinez (born April 22, 1984) is an American professional mixed martial arts fighter. Alonzo has fought twice for Bellator Fighting Championships as a lightweight and once with Strikeforce as a welterweight (though it was contested at a 160 lb catchweight). Martinez has been an MMA fighter for over eleven years, with notable fights against Toby Imada, and UFC vets Estevan Payan, Yves Edwards, and Yaotzin Meza. He is also known for his submission expertise, with 22 of his 36 career wins coming by submission.

Mixed martial arts career

Martinez made his professional mixed martial arts debut on March 15, 2003, when he faced Demi Deeds at Gladiators 20. He lost the fight via first round TKO.[2] Following the loss, Martinez would compile a record of 22–12–1, with wins over UFC veterans such as Luke Caudillo, Dustin Neace, and Waylon Lowe, before signing with Bellator in April 2009.

Bellator

Martinez made his Bellator debut on April 3, 2009, when he fought against Toby Imada at Bellator 1 in the quarterfinal of the first Bellator Fighting Championships Lightweight Tournament.[3] He lost his debut via rear-naked choke.

He returned to Bellator on May 15, 2009, facing Victor Meza at Bellator 7 in a non-tournament bout.[4] He won via rear-naked choke.

Strikeforce

Martinez had a one-fight stint for now-defunct promotion Strikeforce, facing Estevan Payan on January 7, 2012, at Strikeforce: Rockhold vs. Jardine. He lost the fight via unanimous decision.[5]
