Martyn Ford is looking brutal in the buildup to his MMA fight!

Martyn Ford is one of the biggest fitness icons in the world. Earlier this year, the British strongman was scheduled to box against the Iranian Hulk, who constantly challenged Ford to a fight. Eventually, the two came to an agreement and scheduled a date for the fight. Before long, however, the fight was cancelled and Ford had no other target to latch onto.

But recently Ford said he would like to fight in MMA in the Polish organization KSW. No date for the fight has been given yet, but from what Ford has been posting on social media, he is really looking forward to the fight. To prepare for the fight with Hulk, Ford has even lost around 58lb (approx 26kg) and has stated himself that he feels healthier and younger than ever before.

"Lifting Big Butts VS Boxing...... 360 lb vs. 302 lb..... I started this journey and like anything I've done in my life that I really wanted to do, I put absolutely EVERYTHING into preparing for a fight. This is by far the best and healthiest I've felt in years, going back to the feeling I had when I was twenty-one again. It's crazy.

Imagine this, since October I'm quitting all forms of bodybuilding, switching to boxing and training martial arts, I end up looking BIGGER than I ever have before. My body is definitely not functioning normally."

He subsequently mentioned on his social media that he thinks muscle memory is working because he put on 6lb (2.7kg) in an hour!

"Well, with no clear date when I should fight, I thought I'd take up bodybuilding. I think muscle memory really works. I put on about 6lb in an hour."

In a recent Instagram post, Ford gave fans a sneak peek into one of his recent workouts. What do you think of Martyn's physique?
