Martin Casaus Ready to Bring the Mayhem to Abu Dhabi

Power Slap fans are in for a treat as professional wrestling veteran Martin Casaus—best known to many as Marty “The Moth” Martinez from Lucha Underground—steps into the Power Slap arena for his debut at Power Slap 16 in Abu Dhabi. Facing fellow entertainer and wrestler Zicky Dice, Casaus promises a blend of power, personality, and precision when the two collide.

From the Wrestling Ring to the Slap Stage

For over 20 years, Martin Casaus has performed on some of the biggest stages in professional wrestling. From WWE Tough Enough to Lucha Underground, and international tours in Japan, Germany, and Mexico, Casaus has built a reputation for high-pressure performances and explosive athleticism.

“Power Slap is just the next evolution of my career,” Casaus said. “This is right in my wheelhouse—big fight moments, pressure, and physicality that’s way beyond a normal Saturday night.”

Casaus believes every moment in his wrestling career has led him to this debut. “There are no coincidences in life,” he added. “Everything I’ve done so far has prepared me for this.”

Respect and Rivalry: Casaus vs. Dice

Both Casaus and Dice share a background in wrestling, but this will be their first time meeting in a combat setting. “We’ve shared locker rooms but never gone toe-to-toe,” Casaus said. “He’s a shorter, stockier, thick boy—that’s going to help him with power. I’ve got range, a height advantage, and enough force to disconnect his head from his neck.”

Despite the friendly rivalry, Casaus holds genuine respect for Dice’s charisma and in-ring energy. “Zicky is great on camera, and so am I. Every time I step up, I want to entertain. That’s what makes this matchup exciting—two guys who know how to perform and how to hit.”

Transitioning to Precision and Power

While wrestling relies heavily on storytelling and movement, Casaus emphasized how Power Slap’s simplicity—one strike, one target—demands a new level of precision.
“It’s all about finding that exact off button on the chin,” he said. “Wrestling has motion and chaos. Power Slap is still physical, but it’s surgical. That’s what excites me—it’s the same adrenaline, but a new discipline.”

What a Perfect Night Looks Like

When asked about his ideal fight scenario, Casaus painted the picture vividly:
“I’m going to walk out, flap my arms—because that’s where my family and my fans are—and entertain the crowd. Then I’m going to slap the living crap out of him, have him count the lights, and after I win, I’ll buy him a drink. We’re friends—but that doesn’t mean he’s leaving without getting knocked out.”

Message to Zicky Dice

In true Marty the Moth fashion, Casaus delivered his message with flair and confidence:
“Zicky, you’re amazing. You’re outlandish. But you’re on the wrong side of the slap table. I’m going to run my hand across your face like a freight train, have you count the lights, and buy you a drink after. Drinks are on me—but only after I win.”

Power Slap 16 in Abu Dhabi will see two charismatic performers collide—not just with slaps, but with pure showmanship. For Casaus, this isn’t just another fight. It’s the next chapter in a story that’s always been about high stakes, loud crowds, and unforgettable moments.
