Bradley Martyn has recently found himself entangled in controversy after disputing claims made by former UFC champion Israel Adesanya.
With a towering presence standing at 6 feet 2 inches and weighing a solid 260 pounds, Bradley Martyn has garnered significant attention, particularly since his foray into combat sports discussions.
His assertion that he could emerge victorious against established boxers and MMA stars in unorthodox confrontations, citing his imposing physique over technical skill, has stirred debate within the MMA community.
During a podcast featuring Israel Adesanya, Martyn’s name surfaced in discussions regarding a purported challenge issued by Martyn towards Adesanya in the past. Adesanya recounted an incident from several years prior.
“Get there, crazy. This was during COVID times. He has a ring in the backyard. And, I got word through someone that, ‘oh, this guy is trying to get Izzy in the ring,’ and I said, ‘nah I’m just here to have fun.
“I’m doing none of that. And it was him. Some people aren’t even man enough to wash the jocks we fight in.
“They’re not even man enough, or worthy enough to step in the ring or in the cage with us, cause, you’re about that life.
“And when they ‘Oh, how would I fare? How would I?’ Stop.”
Martyn swiftly responded to Adesanya’s recollection, adamantly denying the allegation and labeling Adesanya’s statement as deceitful. Taking to his social media platform, Martyn shared screenshots of a prior exchange with Adesanya, portraying a cordial interaction devoid of any confrontational undertones.
In his post, Martyn dismissively captioned the screenshots with “[Cap],” insinuating the fabrication of events. He further emphasized his intention of merely expressing admiration for Adesanya, suggesting that the uproar surrounding the incident was unwarranted and driven by a desire for attention.
