Israel Adesanya roasts clout-chasing bodybuilder Bradley Martyn: ‘Some people aren’t even man enough…’

Israel Adesanya established himself as one of the UFC’s greatest champions by repeatedly proving himself inside the Octagon. Bradley Martyn, on the other hand, garnered attention from the MMA community after making outlandish claims that he could handle himself in hypothetical fights with fighters who would absolutely destroy him in a legitimate fight.

Martyn, a well-known bodybuilder, and YouTube star, began to draw the ire of fighters and fans alike last year when he began challenging mixed martial artists like Nate Diaz, Sean O’Malley, and Alex Pereira to a streetfight. While most of them laughed off his gross overconfidence, there was one fighter who was happy to make Martyn put his money where his mouth is.

Former UFC and current ONE flyweight world champion Demetrious Johnson agreed to fly out to Martyn’s home where the two could tussle in the comfort of his home in L.A.

“I look at Bradley Martyn as a gentleman who is looking for clout, and he’s saying [that he can beat me in a street fight],” Johnson said while speaking with Adesanya on a recent episode of his podcast. “And for me, I’ve been about that life. I just proved that I am about that life. For free.”

Israel Adesanya puts Bradley Martyn in his place

Though Israel Adesanya has never personally met Martyn, ‘The Last Stylebender’ revealed that the influencer was eager to get him inside the ring while the two were attending a post-fight party at Jake Paul’s house.

“When Jake Paul fought Nate Robinson, I met Jake at the hotel,” Adesanya said. “He invites me to his house. I get there and at one point, there’s a ring in the backyard. And I got word that ‘Oh, this guy’s trying to get Izzy in the ring.’ I was like, ‘Nah, I ain’t doing any of that. I’m here to have fun,’ and it was [Bradley Martyn]. I don’t know the guy, but anytime I see him with a fighter, he tries to like, ‘Oh, how would I…’

“Stop that. For me, personally, some people aren’t even man enough to wash the jocks we fight in. They’re not man enough or worthy enough to step in a ring or a cage with us.”

After seeing the 5’3″, 150-pound Demetrious Johnson defeat a 6’3″, 250-pound man at the IBJJF Pan Championships last month, Martyn may have had second thoughts about stepping on the mat with ‘Mighty Mouse.’

‘Chito’ Vera confident he would kill Bradley Martyn in street fight: ‘I’m opening your guts and playing with them’

UFC bantamweight contender Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera wasn’t interested in playing games with bodybuilder Bradley Martyn. Over the last few months, Martyn has drawn the ire of the MMA community for suggesting that his 260-pound frame would be enough to scrap with some of the best fighters in the world. Recently, ONE flyweight world champion Demetrious […]

UFC bantamweight contender Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera wasn’t interested in playing games with bodybuilder Bradley Martyn.

Over the last few months, Martyn has drawn the ire of the MMA community for suggesting that his 260-pound frame would be enough to scrap with some of the best fighters in the world. Recently, ONE flyweight world champion Demetrious Johnson called Martyn’s bluff, offering to fly to California and roll with the popular YouTuber.

For the most part, fighters like Sean O’Malley and Nate Diaz have patronized Martyn in their responses, but ‘Chito’ Vera took a decidedly different approach while appearing on a recent episode of Martyn’s Raw Talk podcast.

“I’d kill you, I swear to God I’d kill you,” Vera answered when asked who would win in a street fight between himself and Martyn. “The only way for you to beat me is if you grab me and you hit my head with the wall, then if I get KOed. Because if you don’t knock me out, I’m gonna keep coming. And cardio-wise, I’m an animal, dude.

“You know like in Street Fighter, the health [bar]? Even if you start punching me and hurting me, my health won’t leave me too quick. You would have to really knock me out. If not dude, you’re f*cked. I’m gonna take your eyes out of your face… I’m opening your guts and f*cking playing with them” (h/t MMA Mania).

"I am opening up your guts, and playing with them."

Will ‘Chito’ Vera Score His First Shot at UFC Gold in 2023?

‘Chito’ Vera is currently on the cusp of a bantamweight world title opportunity after the division’s new titleholder, ‘Sugar’ Sean O’Malley, challenged Vera to run back their UFC 252 bout that saw Vera hand O’Malley his first career UFC loss. O’Malley has long no-sold the first-round TKO defeat as he suffered a leg injury early in the round. The bout was expected to go down as part of the promotion’s final pay-per-view of the year in December, but ‘Chito’ has recently gone on record suggesting that O’Malley is now attempting to pull out of the reported title tilt.

Vera has won five of his last six inside the Octagon, most recently scoring a unanimous decision over Pedro Munhoz in short notice showdown at UFC 292.

Bradley Martyn starts new trend as 6’8? NBA star James Johnson says he could beat up UFC icon Jon Jones

Bodybuilder Bradley Martyn has seemingly started a trend in the world of mixed martial arts.

In recent months, Martyn has drawn the ire of the MMA community after regularly questioning whether some of the sport’s biggest names could survive in a street fight with him. Sean O’Malley, Alex Pereira, Demetrious Johnson, and Nate Diaz are just a few of the names that Martyn has targeted on his popular podcast, Raw Talk.

Well, now 6’8″ tall NBA journeyman James Johnson is getting into the act, suggesting that he could beat reigning UFC heavyweight world champion Jon Jones. All he needs is a year to work on his takedown defense.

“I think I could beat him for real. But like I said, with a year of training defense. I just need ground defense,” Johnson said in a video clip shared by Bloody Elbow.

He continued, “He started learning how to use your hands and your feet, what? After college? Like, I’ve been punching and kicking since I was five or six years old. The same thing for me though is the opposite for him because he’s been wrestling for that long learning all these wrestling moves and things like that for that long. For me, I started learning the wrestling game and all that in middle school. The jiu-jitsu. You know, he has a big advantage there because no one wants to get on the floor, but as long as I can keep him from going on the floor, I win.”

“I’m 6ft 8 though.”

Unlike Bradley Martyn, James Johnson does have a background in combat sports, amassing a 20-0 record in kickboxing before transitioning to mixed martial arts. Johnson reportedly holds a 7-0 record in MMA and is more than open to competing in the sport once his NBA career wraps up.

“I’ve been fighting my whole life… That’s my first love, my first passion, Johnson told Fanatics View in a 2019 interview. “I would love that [to fight for the UFC after my NBA career]. The fighter mentality, the fighter heart it never goes. I still see guys right now still trying to kick away, [like] Chuck Liddell, [Anderson] Silva. You got guys that just can’t get away from the game.”

BMF Justin Gaethje says it would take ’10 seconds’ to destroy bodybuilder Bradley Martyn in a fight

BMF titleholder Justin Gaethje likes his chances against YouTuber and fitness guru Bradley Martyn. Over the last few months, Martyn has drawn the ire of the MMA community after suggesting that he could hold his own against some of the best professional fighters in the world, including Sean O’Malley, Nate Diaz, Alex Pereira, and Demetrious […]

BMF titleholder Justin Gaethje likes his chances against YouTuber and fitness guru Bradley Martyn.

Over the last few months, Martyn has drawn the ire of the MMA community after suggesting that he could hold his own against some of the best professional fighters in the world, including Sean O’Malley, Nate Diaz, Alex Pereira, and Demetrious Johnson. Martyn has zero experience in combat sports but has remained adamant that his hulking frame would be all he needs to give any world-class competitor a run for their money.

During a recent Q&A session as part of the UFC 293 festivities, Justin Gaethje and Dan Hooker were asked whether or not they could beat Bradley Martyn in a hypothetical scrap.

“All you gotta do is last about 20 seconds and he’s f*cked, so yes,” Gaethje said.

When one fan in attendance reminded ‘The Highlight’ that Martyn weighs upwards of 260 pounds, Gaethje amended his initial response saying, “Okay, 10 seconds.”

ONE World Champion Demetrious Johnson Happy to Step on the Mat with Bradley Martyn

Of all the professional fighters that Martyn has called out thus far, only one has challenged him to put his money where his mouth is; Demetrious Johnson. The former UFC and current ONE world champion offered to meet the popular podcaster in California for a grappling session. The challenge immediately sparked interest among fans considering Johnson typically walks around at 150 pounds compared to Martyn’s muscular 260-pound build.

But after seeing Martyn struggle to roll with stand-up comic and Joe Rogan sidekick Bryan Callen, it’s hard to imagine that Martyn ends up as anything more than a stain on the mat should he take ‘Mighty Mouse’ up on his offer.

Video – Bodybuilder Bradley Martyn struggles in grappling match with Joe Rogan’s 155-Pound sidekick

YouTube star and bodybuilder Bradley Martyn might like to constantly remind the world that he’s 260 pounds, but that didn’t help him much against 56-year-old stand-up comedian and Joe Rogan sidekick, Bryan Callen. Martyn has earned the attention of the MMA community over the last several months after suggesting that he could handle himself against […]

Martyn has earned the attention of the MMA community over the last several months after suggesting that he could handle himself against some of the sports’ biggest names, including Nate Diaz, Sean O’Malley, Alex Pereira, and Demetrious Johnson. Fight fans were admittedly curious to see how the hulking fitness guru would do considering his sizeable frame.

As it turns out, we may already have our answer courtesy of a clip that sees Martyn grappling with Bryan Callen, a comedian, and podcaster who you may remember from his roles in Old School, The Hangover, and The Goldbergs.

In the clip, which you can see embedded below, Bradley Martyn struggles to make much headway against the 155-pound comedian, which only serves to prove that when matched up with a world-class athlete like Demetrious Johnson, Martyn would undoubtedly get his a** handed to him on a platter.

P4P Great Demetrious Johnson Willing to Put Bradley Martyn’s Skills to the Test

Of all the fighters Bradley Martyn has called out in recent months, only reigning ONE flyweight world champion Demetrious Johnson has challenged the bodybuilder to put his money where his mouth is. ‘Mighty Mouse’ agreed to make a trip to California for a grappling match with Martyn once he takes care of a few prior obligations.

“It’s funny, you know,” Johnson said on Henry Cejudo’s YouTube channel. “He’s 265 pounds, he’s a bodybuilder, so obviously he has got the weight advantage. But at the end of the day, that’s the beautiful thing about grappling. It’s not about weight, it’s about technique, and we’re going to try to grapple.

“I told Brendan Schaub that I want to make it happen,” he continued. “I’m busy doing other things right now, but when I get back from all my vacation I’m going to fly down to Calabasas and we’re gonna roll, man. I’m gonna roll him up” (h/t MMA Mania).

Considering how Martyn did against Callen, we expected Demetrious Johnson to take care of business with ease should the two actually wind up on the mat together.

UFC 293 headliner Sean Strickland threatens to kill bodybuilder Bradley Martyn: ‘I would take your life’

UFC middleweight title challenger Sean Strickland threatened to kill celebrity bodybuilder Bradley Martyn after the YouTuber suggested he could handle himself in a street fight with multiple mixed martial artists, including reigning ONE world champion Demetrious Johnson. Martyn, a fitness guru who loves telling people that he weighs upwards of 260 pounds, has caught the […]

Martyn, a fitness guru who loves telling people that he weighs upwards of 260 pounds, has caught the attention of the MMA community after repeatedly challenging professional fighters to a street fight. In recent months, Martyn has targeted Nate Diaz, Demetrious Johnson, Sean O’Malley, and even former UFC middleweight titleholder Alex Pereira. And while most of the fighters have patronized Martyn or ignored his comments altogether, Sean Strickland has no intention of playing along with Martyn’s gimmick.

Ahead of his return to the Octagon at UFC 293 on Saturday night, Sean Strickland delivered an expletive-filled threat to Martyn, letting the loudmouth bodybuilder know that should the two ever find themselves in a tussle, ‘Tarzan’ won’t hesitate to put his lights out permanently.

“Who the f*ck is Bradley Martyn?” Strickland asked in an interview with Nina Drama. “I don’t know this Bradley Martyn, but if you’re here right now and I can get away with it… I would take your f*cking life. I would kill you. I would put my gun down and would f*cking take your f*cking life.

“Nina gave me a little backstory… that you challenge people. Motherf*cker, I’m in Vegas, you show the f*ck up, you little b*tch. Sign a waiver and we will see how many bones we can break in your f*cking face. If he was right here and he was like, ‘Sean, I think I can beat you in a street fight,’ I would get up. I would put my gun down, and I’d backhand him like the little b*tch he is” (h/t Mirror).

Bradley Martyn seemingly responded to Sean Strickland’s comments on X (formerly Twitter), reminding the 185-pounder that he outweighs him by a significant amount.

“I’m 260 tho,” Martyn wrote.

I’m 260 tho.

It’s a pretty standard response from Martyn who believes that his sheer size will compensate for a complete lack of combat sports skills. Perhaps he’ll have the opportunity to put that theory to the test as pound-for-pound great Demetrious Johnson, a flyweight fighter who typically walks around at 150 pounds, has accepted Martyn’s challenge.

As for Sean Strickland, the outspoken middleweight contender is busy gearing up for the biggest fight of his life on September 9.

Emanating from the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, Strickland will step inside the Octagon for a main event clash with reigning 185-pound titleholder Israel Adesanya. It will be Strickland’s first opportunity to compete for UFC gold after amassing an impressive 14-5 record inside the Octagon, including back-to-back wins against Nassourdine Imavov and Abus Magomedov in his last two outings.
