In a recent digital tête-à-tête, bodybuilder Bradley Martyn contemplated the intriguing question of how he’d fare against former UFC Middleweight Champion, Alex Pereira. The blend of MMA and bodybuilding discussions always promises animated exchanges.
Daring Dream Fights
Martyn, over recent months, has audaciously voiced his willingness to tangle with some of the finest combat athletes. Such claims from the fitness influencer were met with bemusement from the MMA faithful. On his own Raw Talk Podcast, Martyn boasted he’d effortlessly overcome pugilists Devin Haney and Nate Diaz in an alleyway brawl.
Weighing the Odds
Brendan Schaub, an ex-UFC heavyweight and a buddy of Martyn, voiced his skepticism about the latter’s prospects against seasoned MMA pros, even if Martyn outweighed them significantly. Adding fuel to this speculative fire, Schaub intriguingly suggested a grappling bout between Martyn and the reigning ONE Championship Flyweight Champion, Demetrious Johnson. This whimsical proposition gained traction, with even MMA commentator Joe Rogan vouching for ‘Mighty Mouse’ to outclass Martyn.

Martyn vs. Pereira: A Hypothetical Clash
In a recent exploration of fantasy matchups, Martyn delved into a theoretical face-off against Alex Pereira, one of the UFC’s most formidable fighters.

Bradley Martyn on Facing Pereira: “It’s All Conditional”
Setting the Scene YouTube sensation, Bradley Martyn, recently dropped hints about his potential strategies if ever pitted against Alex Pereira in a hypothetical bout. According to Martyn, the outcome might hinge on varying factors including the environment of the duel.
A Battle of Variables
Martyn alluded to conditions like the weather and whether the face-off ensues on a casual sidewalk or in the formal setting of a ring. These assertions introduce a blend of humor and contemplation about how the setting might tilt the odds in a brawl between an MMA maestro and a bodybuilding behemoth.
The Power Play Given
Martyn’s impressive stature and near-superhuman strength, there’s an underlying belief, both from him and among his fanbase, that he could simply rely on brute force – metaphorically “hulk smashing” adversaries. However, against someone of Pereira’s caliber, Martyn suggests that he might need some ‘tools’ or ‘stones’ to even the odds. Whether this is a playful jab or genuine speculation, it undoubtedly keeps the conversation lively.
“How do you believe you’d do in a fight against ‘Poatan’ Alex Perreira?”
“Are we in Brazil or in America?” asks Bradley Martyn.
“Wherever you want Bradley,” said the influencer.
“Where are we on the sidewalk or in the ring?” asks Martyn.
“I’m going to say a patchy grassy hill, a little bit of elevation,” replied the YouTuber.
“So stones… so there’s some tools… yeah I don’t know man, honestly it depends, depends on like the weather and the wind, honestly, for sure.”
