Commentator, ring announcer and journalist – Sebastian Vendel-Martinez is a man of many talents. As a former amateur martial artist with a decade in MMA journalism he combines this with his love for writing, researching and performing, be it for his Sci-Fi YouTube channel or stand up comedy, to tell the story of the fight unfolding for the fans.

The 34-year-old might be best known for his colorful commentating on Swedish MMA promotion Fight Club Rush, but has also worked with organizations like Muay Thai For Life, Superior Challenge, Zone Pro League and Wolf Fight Promotion.

His first taste of commentary was over a decade ago for (now defunct) South Swedish promotion Trophy MMA, following it up with boxing commentary in Ystad Fight Night, before focusing more wholeheartedly on journalism, until his return to commentary in 2019.

On the international scene, Vendel-Martinez is appreciated for his high-level commentating on various IMMAF tournaments all around the world as well as Brave CF, French promotion Hexagone MMA and landmark Finnish promotion CAGE.
