Anthony "Tony" Francis Martin (born 10 June 1964) is a comedian and writer from Te Kuiti, New Zealand, who has had a successful TV, radio, stand-up and film career in Australia.
Despite performing almost exclusively as a vocalist, Martin is a multi-instrumentalist, stating in an interview that he plays guitar, bass, drums, violin, keyboards, harmonica, bagpipes, and pan pipes. On his 2005 solo album Scream, Martin performed vocals, bass, drums, violin and additional guitar parts.
Career
Black Sabbath- The Eternal Idol, Headless Cross and Tyr (1986–90)
During the recording of the Eternal Idol, Martin was brought in to re-record Ray Gillen's tracks, alongside former Electric Light Orchestra drummer Bev Bevan who had previously been in Sabbath during 83/84 on the Born Again tour.
Tony Martin (born December 11, 1989) is an American mixed martial artist, who currently competes in the Lightweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. A professional competitor since 2012, eight out of Martin's ten wins have come by way of submission.
Mixed martial arts career
Martin made his professional mixed martial arts debut on January 7, 2012, when he faced Bruce Johnson at Cage Fighting Xtreme 30. He won the fight via first round rear-naked choke. Following the quick win, Martin would compile a record of 8–0, including a notable win over UFC veteran Phillipe Nover at Dakota FC 14, before being signed by the Ultimate Fighting Championship in late 2013.
Ultimate Fighting Championship
In his official UFC debut, Martin faced fellow newcomer Rashid Magomedov at UFC 169 on February 1, 2014. Though he had Magomedov in trouble early with a deep armbar, Magomedov would rally back and Martin lost the fight via unanimous decision.
