My name is Alfonso Martinez. My dad was in the Marine Corps for 21 years but I spent the majority of my life in Havelock, NC. A little known fact, Vince McMahon of the WWE is from Havelock, so you may have the next billionaire on your hands for the UFC.

I've been an MMA fan since the original TUF, but I became a hardcore MMA when Chael Sonnen fought Brian Stann. I've been hooked every since, watching nearly every event I could (Lucky where I live there's no Comcast so no Bellator (: ). I watch every single pay per view and get devastated when my favorite fighters like Chael losing at 148, or TJ losing to Dom recently.

Though I live in NC, my brother lives in LV as a drone operator so transporting and living there would be no problem.

I feel like I could add so much to the UFC community, I constantly check r/mma and the Underground to get the MMA news and the current feedback of the MMA fans.

My dream going into college was to be President of the United States, politics was my passion. It was all about Elections and Campaigns but as I learned about the cynicism of it all MMA is all I think about besides school. However Elections and Campaigns are nothing but Public Relations except with politics instead of athletes. I could work with the UFC for the rest of my life and never be seized to be amazed. Fights like Robbie and Rory and Robbie and Condit will last forever, and that's something I'll never be tired of.

Ten to twenty years from now I want to be standing where Dana White or Dave Sholler, without getting pushed by two huge athletes.

Thank you for my consideration, and when chosen you won't regret it because MMA is truly my passion and you see the hard work I put in.
