During an interview with Brazilian MMA Fighters on YouTube, Martins recalled his experience meeting Makhachev and Nurmagomedov for the first time in 2015. In a subtitled video, Martins recounted:

"At the presentation, they introduced Islam, and then they introduced me. Bruce Buffer introduced me and then Khabib and his father started laughing in my face. They were laughing their heads off. I didn't understand and after they lost Khabib was polite. He went to congratulate me."
