Fitness YouTuber and bodybuilder Bradley Martyn believes he can take on any combat sports athlete smaller than him. Martyn weighs around 250 lbs and has a huge frame owing to his rigorous training over the years. However, veteran MMA fighter Nate Diaz made it clear that having a size advantage won’t be nearly enough to defeat him in a street fight.
Nate Diaz recently appeared on Bradley Martyn’s Raw Talk podcast where he touched upon several topics. Diaz talked about his upcoming fight with Jake Paul, his vegan lifestyle, and most importantly cleared Bradley Martyn’s misconception.
Nate Diaz is known as one of the most durable fighters in the MMA world. He has one of the toughest chins and killer cardio, which makes him a formidable opponent. Apart from that Diaz is also an exceptional jiu-jitsu practitioner and has a black belt as well.
Midway through the podcast, Martyn questioned Diaz on a hypothetical situation. “You think you could beat me in a street fight?” questioned the podcast host. Without any doubt, in his mind, Diaz made it clear that the bodybuilder had no chance. “You’re a podcaster brother,” said Diaz.

Martyn, who has over 4.4 million followers on Instagram, has also previously brought up the size vs. skill question when he stated he could defeat undisputed champion Devin Haney in a street fight. Haney also had a similar response and cleared Bradley’s pre-conceived notion like Nate Diaz.
Diaz will soon make his boxing debut against YouTube boxing personality Jake Paul on the August 5. The bout takes place at American Airlines Center, Dallas, Texas, and will be available for streaming on DAZN.
Bradley Martyn thinks he can beat the boxing champion; Devin Haney
Devin Haney is the undisputed lightweight champion of the world. He is considered a top-tier boxer and faced several adversaries throughout his professional boxing career. Despite the accolades, YouTuber and bodybuilder Bradley Martyn believes he can defeat Haney in a street fight.
Haney appeared on Martyn’s Raw Talk podcast prior to his bout against Vasiliy Lomachenko. During the show, the duo discussed how a hypothetical street fight would play out between the two.
Bradley Martyn was pretty confident in his abilities to defeat Haney as he was more than a 100lbs heavier than him. He also stated that he would maul Haney and could take a punch from the lightweight champion.
“I would beat the f*** out of you in a street fight. Bro, I would maul you at 150lbs, 100 per cent,” said Martyn. However, Haney interjected and revealed that having a weight advantage would not work as much in his favor.

“At my walking around weight, I would kill you. Let me tell you something. You cannot take a punch, you’re not used to getting hit you’ve been hit by regular guys who don’t even know how to punch,” said Haney.
In the end, both burst out laughing as they knew it was not serious. However, their conversation started a pretty huge debate on the internet. While people were divided on their opinions of who would win in the street fight, majority backed Haney. Fair to say skill won in the hypothetical battle of skill vs size.
