Rad Martinez on ESPN's "Outside the Lines"(video)

This past weekend, ESPN's "Outside the Lines" spotlighted Rad Martinez, a top MMA prospect and UFC hopeful.

However, the newsmagazine's profile focused less on his successful MMA
career and more on his second job: primary caretaker for his
brain-damaged fighter.

The segment debuted Sunday, and ESPN since has made the entire video available for online viewing.

Martinez, who's 9-2 as an MMA lightweight, is a former NCAA Division I
All-American wrestler at Clarion University in Pennsylvania. In fact, he
took up MMA at the urging of another Clarion wrestler: current UFC
lightweight champion Frankie Edgar.

However, Martinez's training is limited because he devotes a major
portion of his day to his father. Martinez took on the responsibility as
his caretaker during a promise he made to his dying grandmother.

"Everybody says the exact same thing: 'Wow, I don't know if I could do
that,'" Martinez stated. "That’s funny to me that people say that because I kind of know
that a lot of people could do it. My grandma did it until she died. I'm
going to it until: A. My dad gets better; B. My dad passes away; or C. I
pass away."

Martinez, who turned pro in 2008, posted an eight-fight win streak
before a recent submission loss to former UFC fighter Brian Cobb in May.
Four of his nine career wins, including a November victory over
two-time UFC fighter Joe Brammer, have come via knockout.
