Bradley Martyn has gained a lot of prominence as a fitness influencer. However, in recent times, he has also established a foothold in the MMA space by issuing challenges to UFC stars for street fights.
Weighing in at a solid 260 pounds, Martyn has said that his substantial size advantage would massively favor him when facing fighters like Demetrious Johnson or UFC bantamweight champion Sean O'Malley. Despite facing ridicule from notable figures in the MMA world, Martyn has persisted in challenging the prevailing notion that a hypothetical street fight would not play in his favour.
While a proposed grappling matchup with Johnson never materialized, a video has surfaced showing Martyn grappling with Bryan Callen, a 155-pound comedian. Bradley Martyn struggled to control Callen, raising doubts about his ability to face a professional fighter like Johnson.
It is worth noting that Callen started training in martial arts, influenced by his close friend and UFC color commentator Joe Rogan. He also holds a blue belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

Another fan wrote:
"Any 125 lbs. [fighter] destroys him in under three minutes."
Yet another fan wrote:
"Needless to say, Joe Rogan would absolutely demolish that kid then."

When questioned about their chances in a street fight against Martyn, Hooker displayed self-assuredness, while Gaethje humorously quipped:
“All you got to do is last for 20 seconds and he is f***ed”.
The fan then informed the UFC 'BMF' champion that Bradley Martyn stands at 260 pounds, prompting Justin Gaethje to chuckle dismissively and respond:
“Okay, 10 seconds."
