“It was a unique sensation to win the championship. I’m ready to represent Brave Combat Federation as a world champion. I am ready for whatever bout that Brave Combat Federation organises for me. I was expecting a very tough fight against Santiago and we delivered an awesome fight for the world to remember. He is a fantastic person and a great fighter,” said Martins. 

“I feel very honoured to be able to say that I made history for Brave that too with a friend of mine. Brave is one among the top organisations out there right now,” he added.
