Adrián Luna Martinetti Fights on DWCS
Ecuador’s own Adrián Luna Martinetti is just one win away from achieving his long-awaited UFC dream. On Tuesday, October 7, 2025, he enters the cage at Dana White’s Contender Series (DWCS)—the same event where Michael Morales earned his UFC contract in 2021.
The pressure is immense, but Luna has prepared for this moment his entire career. If he delivers a powerful performance, he could become Ecuador’s next MMA star and inspire a new wave of Latin American fighters ready to chase their dreams.
A Record That Demands Attention
With an impressive professional record of 16 wins and just one loss, Luna enters the Contender Series riding a 14-fight win streak. Competing at bantamweight (136 lbs) and representing Academia Team Predador in Guayaquil, Ecuador, the 30-year-old has proven to be one of the region’s most reliable finishers.
He stands 5’8” tall with a 71-inch reach, blending sharp striking with dangerous submissions. This balance has earned him victories in major Latin American promotions such as Ultimate Warrior Challenge Mexico and Budo Sento Championship.
Furthermore, his Tapology rankings highlight his status: #7 in Central & South America, #2 bantamweight in South America, and #2 in Mexico. Each achievement confirms that Luna is more than ready for the next level.
The Challenge: Mark Vologdin
Standing across the cage is Mark Vologdin (12-3-1) of Russia — a fierce competitor known for his aggressive style and toughness. To secure a UFC contract, Luna must do more than win; he must dominate.
“I’ve worked hard on both my mental and physical strength,” Luna shared in a recent interview. “This is my moment. The dream is to reach the UFC.”
A Family of Fighters and a Nation Watching
Luna’s journey is not just personal—it’s national. His brother, Andrés Luna Martinetti, is also climbing the MMA ranks, and both share the same dream of competing inside the UFC Octagon.
As fans across Ecuador prepare to watch, Adrián Luna Martinetti’s fight represents more than an opportunity—it symbolizes the rise of Latin American MMA on the global stage.
