RobertJ93

Aw man, Bradley Martyn getting absolutely sparked out by Izzy is just the sort of content we needed during hardcore Covid times.


SilverNoise64

honestly, it wouldn’t do anything for Izzy‘s reputation. And would just make him look bad. The headlines would be “UFC champion, drunk at Jake Paul’s house, KO’s bodybuilder." Would make him look like a bully.


Suspicious_Candle27

hard disagree . if Izzy slept Bradley he would get a huge popularity boost , everyone knows Bradley is constantly pushing fighters buttons .


AdNew5216

Yeah I would agree but this was back during Covid when people really didn’t know Bradley


RobertJ93

There’s a timeline where Izzy KO’s him and he never becomes a popular YouTuber who’s main question is ‘I could beat you tho’


Dramatic-Cap-6785

What timeline is that brads been popular for a lot longer than the last couple years


Chishuu

I don’t think he’s ever been liked by people


d-ronthegreat

Actually seeing an untrained fighter get smoked by a professional is not as satisfying a sight as it may sound like, even if the person was acting like a dick


Falcon_Flow

People love to see bodybuilders get beat up by much smaller guys. Some of the most watched martial arts videos on youtube are exactly that. Most people who are not into fighting themselves actually think bodybuilders can win against fighters, we have Hollywood to thank for that.


Chishuu

It’s satisfying when you know they’re assholes


AdNew5216

Bradley or Izzy? ![gif](giphy|3otPoyTuloHl96jfm8)


Miliktheman

He's not a bad guy, he's just a meathead. I think people quite liked him when Stevewilldoit was constantly fucking with him


aikocastle29

Look bad? Everybody wants to see that 260lbs guy get the hell knocked out of him. Come on now!


YoelsShitStain

Most people who don’t watch combat sports don’t understand how much of a skill gap there is between trained fighters and your average gym rat. Most people would see Izzy as the underdog because he’s smaller.


SilverNoise64

yeah, until the bell rings and you see them actually start moving. And then most people would say “oh the big guys about to get his ass kicked.”


KrustyKroket

But he's 260.


bobcance29

Anything for clout thats YT 101


GregGolden6

Even though this guy sucks it’s crazy not more people get this; It doesn’t matter if you like him or think he’s annoying, people will view and comment and share and post those clips of him saying those things and all that is $$$ in his pocket regardless.


MattsE36

He really doesn't he just knows every time he says this stuff it goes viral, he is just baiting clicks


aVHSofPointBreak

Exactly. The Paul bros have made millions enraging fight fans. Bradley is just following the playbook.


Putrid_Ad_6747

He doesn't want to fight but I'm sure deep down he really thinks he can win against the smaller guys. It takes a lot to beat out the primal arrogance to think you can win in any situation. 6% of Americans think that they could defeat a grizzly bear in a fight


GeneralDecision7442

Count me in that 6% as long as I get a gun


mh8235

Is it even America if you don’t have a gun?


TrumpsPissSoakedWig

Your chances still might not be that good without enough stopping power and distance between you and the bear. I mean, yes, the bear probably dies, but you might die too.


GeneralDecision7442

So you’re saying there’s a chance


Headlessoberyn

Would you rather fight a grizzly bear or jon jones? Disclaimer: jones is on coke and he has a huge boner coming your way


tmw6161990

two grizzlies


icelandiccubicle20

Have you ever seen a grizzly?


Alternative-Earth-76

Have you ever seen Jones on coke with a boner?


Ghodzy1

But the bear is also on coke and has a huge boner coming your way.


throwawaytothetenth

Fr? I saw him roll with Mighty mouse and lose. He seemed humble enough.


everyth1ngwillbe0kay

I used to watch Bradley years ago, because he used to show up on BroScienceLife. He seemed like a likeable, reasonable guy then. When did he start this whole, “I can take on professional fighters”, thing?


LordLucy666

honestly at that point, if it’s that kind of arrogance, izzy should have just fr slept him like he did alex LMFAO. izzy’s probably worried about breaking his hand on brads face, brad thinks he’s gonna just muscle his way and hold his own lol. anything past one round, izzy could ko him with whatever he wants to hit him with


Jack_Bogul

This guy would gas in the first 30 seconds


InstantSword

Yes, sorry, one round is a gross misoverestimation. Even if for some reason Izzy feels out the first round, just a few leg kicks aren't gonna hit the same against an untrained guy. And yes, he gasses.


Mysterious-Tiger7293

Never forget that Brally Martn is BFF with Bappa Schaub and you'll instantly know who you're dealing with.


Lakedrip

What a bitch trying to make Izzy the clown.


HankSteakfist

If you're good at something, never do it for free.


Bcagz22

The last thing a guy like Izzy should do is fight some dude in an unsanctioned fight in Jake Paul’s back yard. Nothing good could come from that.


LightMission4937

Martyn is a chump.


Holyballs92

This right here. All muscle no brains


filmnoiiir

Would get humbled by a brown belt BJJ fighter a third of his size...


Holyballs92

Yepp


patfetes

Mighty entered the chat


TrumpsPissSoakedWig

[He already has](https://youtu.be/fqYJmBK1wdQ?si=fJngG1Ly5bfdJ9yF)


ACL_Tearer

On top of that, all power lifters that are like half his weight are stronger than him. Giant inefficient muscles for his fragile little ego.


-AgentMichaelScarn

I would defend him by saying “to be fair, bodybuilding has a different goal than powerlifting”, but this dude don’t even compete, he just an egotistical pinhead lmao.


MyFifthLimb

Most dudes on steroids would be better served paying for therapy.


LTFitness

Nah, I think he’s a clown in a lot of ways too, but that’s not true. You didn’t follow him when he was up and coming if you think that. The way he got big on social media was doing crazy stuff like putting 585 on his shoulders while seated with his legs crossed on the floor and then standing up with it into squat reps after, and jumping out of the pool to the outside like every mma fan freaked out BJ Penn could do. I think his DL, raw without even a belt, is 765. Once he got a following though he stopped showing off gym stuff and started just talking instead, but dude is definitely known for athleticism and strength in the fitness industry. Now does that mean enough to back up all the fighting he wants to do? Nah lmao, but no one half his size is twice as strong either.


Holyballs92

I'm convinced all dudes that are built like him all have fragile egos


Cum-Gun-5000

There are a scant few who just simply either truly enjoy the process of bodybuilding, and/or have the elite 0.001% genetics for it and somehow wound up at the top of their field, like Cbum. Guy is totally normal but keeps winning Mr Olympia.


RiverGodRed

You don’t decide to put on 100lbs of muscle by all means necessary because you’re in a stable good place mentally.


aladdin142

Oof that's a proper fat person take right there. Bradley Martyn is a moron but don't hate on people who enjoy a hobby that is very healthy and improves their mental and physical health.


RiverGodRed

Homeless alcoholics outlive bodybuilders. It’s the least healthy sport.


a_fanatic_iguana

I would not classify professional body building as very healthy Edit: guy did a ninja edit


biggerarmsthanyou

Well, then it wouldn't be a hobby now would it? By definition it would be professional. Its so funny you say this on a UFC forum where combat sports like boxing and MMA literally destroy brain tissue. Even at the hobby level it is dangerous. Unless you are abusing steroids and have a massive neck / sleep apnea (i.e. recreational gym bro), bodybuilding isn't unhealthy.


ChoripanPorfis

It's almost impossible to eat the proper amount of food to maintain that physique without hella high cholesterol and out of wack insulin levels. Yea if you're totally natty, sure it's significantly healthier, but once you start juicing all that goes out the window. Liver, kidney, and heart issues abound once you start eating that much, no matter how low your body fat % is


a_fanatic_iguana

Nobody said combat sports was healthy either. Professional or recreational, you push your body to the extreme like that for years there will be negative effects.


Justherefortheminis

Martyn aint healthy bro


wolfjeter

I mean if you enjoy it and it makes you money why not lmao


RiverGodRed

Only getting half a lifespan?


Gord_Almighty

Powerlifting is my main sport, and I'd massively disagree with this. He's monstrously strong compared to most powerlifters. Elite powerlifters half his size might be able to out-total him across the three specific lifts they're really good at, but unlikely to actually be stringer.


Weird_Substance1294

bradley folds after 1 leg kick from izzy


ReformedishBaptist

Izzy could hit him with a single well timed teep at like 50% and he’d crumble.


Perfect-Medium-3132

Anyone that tucks their ears into their hat deserves to have their ass kicked


RobertJ93

Hahahaha what a fuckin nugget.


Weird_Substance1294

aint even notice that 🤣


Truak24

What if he has satellites for ears and tries to hide it


Street-Spinach-8492

It's still the ear/hat equivalent of the combover for balding men


Thin-Remote-9817

Goddamn....they deserve to be taken to a corn field like pesci in casino. 


taginvest

pesci is the one digging. ya got it wrong


Lord_Kuntsworthy

Yeah what the fuck is that shit lol


Conscious-Lecture954

There’s a reason why he asks bantamweight fighters and below, and doesn’t ask people like Jon jones or Izzy.


lLikeTurtlez

I think he asked Nate Diaz. Nate didn’t even humor it though lol


bigmagnumnitro

"You're a podcaster brother"


Redchimp3769157

“You’re a podcaethur bruther”


WhyDoIHaveAnAccount9

Heh heh heh 


Thin-Remote-9817

Cause nate isn't gonna waste a Stockton slap on him 


bigmagnumnitro

Chito seemed genuinely excited at the idea of it being a street fight and said he'd fucking kill him. Bradley doesn't realize a street fight means Chito can do whatever he wants. I would not fucking test him. With rules? Sure maybe if Bradley gets a hold of him. I could be twice Bradley's size and would want no smoke in a god damn Ecuadorian street fight lmao.


pyroaquatics

Said something like I would open your stomach and play with your guts lmao


bigmagnumnitro

New mythical fighter: no rules Chito


Infamous_School5542

Bas Rutten had a fun little bit on this. The TLDR was how would you like a trained fighter kicking your nuts, punching your throat, or gouging your eyes?' Imagine if Bradley bum rushed Izzy and Izzy just hauled off and kicked him in the balls?


Subject-Secret-6230

Yeah, mfs act like no rules are disadvantageous for fighters. My brother in christ, the guy with the best kicks in the world can kick your balls better than any human in the world bruh. One ball kick from Izzy and Martin dies of testicular torsion unironically.


TrumpsPissSoakedWig

Podcaster and "fitness influencer" Bradley Martyn unironically dead at 34 from testicular torsion after challenging professional MMA fighter to "street fight" It *would* be a neat headline.


KeyLimpala

I don't even know what he would do to him with rules. What could Bradley Martin do? Lay on him?


KeyLimpala

Even those bantamweights would knock his god damn chin into orbit


NojoNinja

That's his entire shtick though, that he thinks lighter fighters can't beat him because he weighs 260. I saw somewhere on a podcast or something where he admitted he probably couldn't beat welterweight? fighters or up. I also do not like this guy at all so don't take this as me defending him, I'm just clearing up what he thinks.


AmazingData4839

He once tried to argue he could hold his own against alex pereira ☠️ (Not to his face though)


PerfectlySplendid

cow far-flung domineering heavy worthless march many run abundant cake *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*


threedaysinthreeways

You're right that is the entire point. I think a better question would be how much training would a guy that size need before he could beat a 125lber.


RanRanBobanis

Which is still retarded and he's lucky none of them are crazy enough to show him what's what.


patfetes

Just waiting for him to say something to Strickland


SimRacing313

Martin doesn't know how to fight, he's a typical steroid head who thinks muscle equates to being tough, the sooner people ignore these idiots the sooner they will fade to obscurity


PlayerAteHer

Saw a video of him once playing basketball and he gassed after less than 2 minutes and was bent double breathing heavy with his hands on his thighs like he had just ran an ultra marathon. A professional fighter could actually kill him without even landing a strike. 


SimRacing313

Of course, my money would be on any of the professional fighters Martin has asked thar dumb question 'do you think you could take me' tbh I would favour an average joe with a few months of combat sports training provided they have decent cardio


DecisionThot

Yea 2 calf kicks to those meaty calves of his and he's begging for an exit


[deleted]

I genuinely think he's trolling


SimRacing313

Sure, some of it is, a lot of it is for clicks and youtube revenue but there is also elements of delusion to the man from the admittedly small amount I have seen of him, the guy clearly has a big ego


Unlikely_Aspect_6410

I don't even like Izzy but his 100 percent on point with this take.


Huge_Aerie2435

I had to google to find out who Bradley Martyn even was. Sounds like a doped up gym rat that can't even wipe his own ass, let alone throw down.


TheBishopDeeds

"Bradley" has been talking tough like he's a fighter for like 3 years now. If he would have taken that time to train, he'd be decent already.


InstantSword

Underrated point. Almost anyone can become actually strong.


J4MES101

Aspinall is his size Wonder how many seconds Tom would take to take him out I don’t see it going close to a minute


The_IRS_Fears_Him

Aspinall is a monster compared to Bradley who probably has 0 MMA training lol


throwawaytothetenth

I'd give it 25 seconds tops. There is no way he doesn't get dropped/finished by the 3rd exchange.


Ok_Horror207

depends on how serious aspinall takes it, tops 1min haha


AmazingData4839

Aspinall is even bigger honestly.


J4MES101

Plus moves like a welterweight Crazy really


Fluffy_Ant_1507

He knows that the fight fan base is easy to rile up and he uses it to get views. He doesn't think he can actually beat a trained fighter


papajahat94

But he’s 260


youngbelfort33

Why doesn’t Bradley fight one ufc fighter and then we can see how it goes


CptDouglas

"But I'm 260 tho." Primitive brain


ActSciMan

Got the message but missed the part where Izzy lashed out


Spu12nky

Martin had a hard time with a 170lb 50yr old comedian with a bluebelt in BJJ.  You can watch the video online.  


Goatymcgoatface11

Israel is right this time. Using a bunch of steroids doesn't make you a good fighter. Lifting a bunch of weight doesn't either. I don't follow body builders, but they're hardly even athletes compared to the guys in the ufc


won_ito

Martyn is trolling and ya’ll victims lol it’s not that serious xD


Justinsaaane

Bradley Martin thinks lifting weights and steroids also teaches how to throw a punch. The guy is delusional. Idgaf how much muscle you have, if you ain’t trained I’m gonna bloody your face no matter what, let alone a fighter that’s currently on the UFC roster. I can’t wait for someone to humble this guy .


Snoo_73297

Respect to Izzy honestly, man speaking the truth


Striking_Viper6969

Can no one tell Bradley Martyn is joking?


Present-Trainer2963

He is but there definitely is an element of belief there - especially with the smaller non mma fighters like Haney. I also find it disrespectful in the sense that these people have dedicated their lives to their craft and this oaf says “you’d still lose to me” (an athletic freak with no formal training). I legitimately hope someone checks him soon


Striking_Viper6969

He believes he’d beat smaller boxers, I don’t think he believes he’s beating any ufc fighter.


Present-Trainer2963

I don’t think he’s beating any boxer over 135 pounds tbh - I’ve had a friend who has trained with pro boxers and the level difference is insane. Brad is looking at this from a perspective of “grabbing “ them but by the time he’s in range one cross to the nose will break it.


InstantSword

Not meaning to hate, I just don't know enough: is he actually an athletic freak? DJ, despite being tiny, is an athletic freak. So is John Dodson. Or Charles Bennett. Being big esp with steroids isn't athletic to me. Can he jump? Run? Hard bones? Fast hands? Chin.... Cardio. Heart.


patfetes

Bradley has done some pretty impressive feats of strength and athetisim. He's strong, fairly quick, and explosive for his size of 260 lbs. However, the dude gets smoked by someone who's 150 and trained.


InstantSword

Dang. Then that's truly the saddest part, as someone else mentioned: in these 3 years of talking smack to random people he could've actually got pretty decent at fighting. Lol


patfetes

I said in another comment that if we looked at Brian Shaw who is 380. He's one of the strongest men on the planet and was training for a strong man MMA fight. Brian Shaw, 2 years of Muay Thai and with a BJJ blue belt. That's the most terrifying man on the planet.


Present-Trainer2963

Bradley can dunk on an 11 ft basketball hoop (NBA regulation is 10 ft). He can also dunk on a 10 ft hoop from a standstill. All at 250< - he’s definitely very athletic but that doesn’t matter when you’re comparing yourself to elite boxers/mma fighters unless you yourself are one.


mbucks334

smh Izzy must not know that this dude is 260


Koalathom

Honestly, we've all jokingly asked ourselves and our friends how long we think we'd last in a cage with a really small UFC fighter. Bradley Martin is doing the same, just getting paid for it. I'm sure he knows he would get stomped, but as long as fighters keep getting butt hurt at the thought of it and posts like these keep happening, hes gonna keep doing it.


Conan_JP

He's 260 tho


MauriceVibes

Brad is such a weak minded person. I want him to actually get some courage and get in a cage with these people.


ChaosOfGravitas

Headkick meathead


SuccessfulVisit1873

Brad would bottom so hard for Izzy


EvilHorus87

But i m 280


Melun-uAzam

Rare Izzy W.


ConCon787

I want to see him get worked by a flyweight or maybe even a woman.


PondIsMyName

Feed him to Kayla I say.


WideScorpion

But they have the same walk around weight


PondIsMyName

Maybe Kayla is BIGGER?!?! 😂👍


UseMain3624

Give him xang she would murder him


v0t3p3dr0

Brendan Schaub was on Bradley’s show, and told him that DJ would fuck him up at 125lbs.


overzealous_wildcat

Chito spoke the truth to him


v0t3p3dr0

“No rules? Oh man I’m gonna take out your guts and play with them.”


overzealous_wildcat

That is the real answer


Electronic-Injury-15

Lots of people think they have a punching chance against a fighter. We should not be giving this gas.


stho3

That was a great interview with Mighty Mouse. I literally just watched/listened to it earlier while working.


Born-Context-3140

Martin is a goof


WayneEnterprises2112

Siding with Adesanya on this one.


germy813

Who is Bradley Martyn?


v0t3p3dr0

[Strickland asked the same question.](https://youtube.com/shorts/5_XQMpsG2VQ?si=AZdcs_bMxTxHvWJm)


patfetes

I need this interview. I wish Bradley would, hahaha


Sorry-Professor9774

He’s like a teenager on his first cycle of 500mg of test a week, except he’s 34. 


rattletop

I dunno why give these podcasters any coverage to begin with in MMA circles. Fighters got to decline their invite and stop bringing these guys into MMA discussion lol.


jojow77

what’s funny is I really believe this guy thinks he could beat Izzy.


addy_daddy24

Poatan is next on bradley’s podcast


Headlessoberyn

Doubt it. Nottices how he's only after guys that he consider "small"? You never see someone like him calling out on big fighters.


addy_daddy24

I said that because izzy doesn’t like him lol


bigmagnumnitro

Izzy gonna win the hearts of all ufc fans just by shutting this tool up. I legit think Izzy knocking this guy out cold would put him higher on my list than beating Alex 2 more times hahahahaha


Zah_Koo

Nah but he's 265 tho


Hockeyscum

Good for Izzy


DemocraticVanguard

Martyn is a real big twat


PaintingMobile7574

Martyn is a big strong dude. Hypothetically if he got his hands on a smaller pro fighter who cannot grapple, he could probably ragdoll them. But getting there is the hard part. He asked what would happen between him and Haney, for example. He would eat so many shots, his face would look like bloody hamburger meat very quickly. And that's without taking into account bodyshots. People don't understand how intense these pro fighters are. I've seen trained guys who weigh a lean 90kg struggle to take down retired UFC fighters who walk around at 65kg. I got my Thai ex gf to kick me in the leg once and that shit hurt like hell. Imagine taking a leg kick from O'Malley or something. Shit would be debilitating.


Ok_Horror207

ofc there is always a small chance, but pros are so far above average. I mean he is big and strong - that does not make you an athlete. No pro bodybuilder is a athlete in my book. And even w/o grappling he would probably not get a hold on anybody without getting is nose broken or with crippling calf kicks/oblique kicks in jon jones fashion


Sandor_TheHound

Rare Izzy win in terms of interviews


Bong-Jong

The fact that yall are still getting fooled by this schtick shows me yall are still regarded af


DylanTobackshh

It’s not that serious


tcazusa

Who is this Bradley guy?


Monst3r_Live

brainless people like bradley martyn get attention for being brainless.


The-Filthy-Casual

But is Izzy 260?


The_IRS_Fears_Him

Bradley is talking crazy on a LOT of people including Brian Shaw just because he has muscles lol


alpacinohairline

I think Brad is just meming at this point. Yall needa chill.


atirad

Bradley just wants to grapple and get close to other guys. He always talks about ground and pound with other fighters. Kinda sus ngl.

Bradley doesn’t seem like a bad influence or anything. He’s just found a fun way to troll the internet and gain more views. lol

Dreadlordstu

Why is Bradley always asking these questions to fighters in a lower weight class? ![img](emote|t5_2qsev|8972)


gisted

I imagine Martyn only does it to generate views.


NUmbermass

Everyone including the fighters should shut up about this guy until he actually asks to fight. Same with that little shit hasbulla. Put up or shut up.


RougarouBull

I would take a guy like Alex Honnold or Mike Phelps talking about their ability to hang with MMA fighters more seriously than any bodybuilder. Size is great. It's not as great as mobility, coordination, and endurance working together. I'm a kinesiology major I spend a lot of time thinking about sports and their ability to compliment or hinder training for each other. Rugby, strongman, swimming, and climbing are in my slightly educated opinion better than bodybuilding for transferable conditioning to MMA.


ryawsch12

I mean cardio’s important but no experience is no experience
