Dr. David Martinez gives out free medical advice to Saimon Oliveira after UFC Mexico TKO

MEXICO CITY – David Martinez met the media Saturday after his win over Saimon Oliveira at UFC on ESPN 64.

Martinez (12-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC), who joined his sister Melissa in the UFC, also is a doctor when he’s not fighting – also just like his sister. After he knocked out Saimon Oliveira (18-6 MMA, 0-3 UFC) in the first round for a $50,000 bonus in his UFC debut, Martinez playfully responded to the advice he’d give his opponent to recover after the fight.

“The best advice I can give is the one that the doctors always give: Stay hydrated, drink water, sleep well, and if you can take Paracetamol every eight hours, it’s going to be fine,” Martinez said.

Check out Martinez’s post-fight news conference in the video above.
