Martin: In Best Shape Of Career

In an interview with CBC Sports in Canada, Quebec native and new Yankee Russell Martin said he is in the best shape of his life. Martin worked out with an Ultimate Fighting Trainer to help work his way back from knee and hip injuries.

"I feel like I've trained myself the right way this year. … It's just really high intensity, power endurance-type training," said Martin of MMA training, which he began in mid-October in Chaimberg's Montreal gym.

Among the other things Martin told CBC- he turned down more guaranteed money with the Dodgers, because he figured he had a better chance of winning with the Yankees.
