Martyn, in a podcast episode with Nate Diaz, ended up asking Diaz for a spar session. Although nothing came of it in the end, the UFC fans were amazed at his gall.

Demetrious Johnson is on-board – Bradley Martyn already regretting it?

Bradley Martyn, a popular bodybuilder. has an imposing stature, no doubt. However, it takes more than great strength to defeat UFC fighters. When Martyn called out Diaz for a spar session, the MMA fans had a good laugh at his expense.

However, when famous American podcaster and former UFC fighter Brendan Schaub tried to tell Martyn that he wouldn’t be able to defeat Demetrious Johnson in a straight-up street fight, the YouTuber seemed to struggle to believe that. He proceeded to say that he would ‘crush’ the considerably smaller Johnson.

In fact, Martyn, apparently, said that he cannot wait for the fight to happen, in a podcast episode with Schaub.
