It is worth noting that over the past few months, YouTuber and fitness influencer Bradley Martyn has gained a lot of attention online for claiming he can potentially beat trained fighters like Demetrious Johnson, Nate Diaz, and Devin Haney in a street fight.
While nothing has resulted from his outlandish claims just yet, it would be interesting to see Bradley Martyn go up against a real fighter.
Craig Jones claims Khabib Nurmagomedov demanded $5 million for a grappling match against Georges St-Pierre
A potential matchup between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Georges St-Pierre always seemed to be one of the biggest fights to make in the UFC. However, with Nurmagomedov retiring in 2020, the chances of it ever happening became next to impossible.
Despite an MMA fight being off the cards, the promotion did attempt to make a grappling matchup between the pair for UFC Fight Pass Invitational according to Craig Jones. However, Australian stated 'The Eagle' priced himself out.
In a conversation with UFC welterweight Gunnar Nelson on the B-Team Jiu Jitsu YouTube channel, Jones claimed that Khabib Nurmagomedov demanded $5 million for a grappling matchup against Georges St-Pierre:
“I was with the [UFC] Fight Pass guys and they were trying to ask me for opponents for ‘GSP’, for ideas... I remember I said Khabib and I think they said Khabib wanted $5 million to do the grappling match. I was like, ‘Woah!’ Obviously, that’s priced himself out there. Those guys would be cool to see. I’d love to train with those guys and feel what it’s like, you know?”
