YouTube star Logan Paul warned bodybuilding influencer Bradley Martyn to “shut the f*ck up” about rumors of him using steroids following their secretive MMA match in June.
Although Paul later revealed he “humbled” his rival, the two are keen to duke it out again in a sanctioned bout – but things might heat up again if Martyn’s latest comments are anything to go by.
Following their fight, Martyn speculated that Paul was on steroids, saying as much in an episode of the Mommy & Daddy Talk podcast.
“I think Logan’s saucing it,” Martyn said. “I swear, I think he’s 230, 240 [lbs].”

Paul hit back at Martyn’s comments in one of Mike Majlak’s Night Shift vlogs on July 29, where he urged the bodybuilder to keep his trap shut lest he school him in the octagon a second time.
“There’s no situation, bro!” he shouted. “Yo, Brad! Shut the f*ck up, bro! You know you got your ass beat, and I’ll do it again – shorter, this time! … Bro, I was 195 that day.”
“You’ve never publicly denied it,” Majlak jokingly challenged the YouTuber.
“Yes I have, and I’ll deny it right now before Bradley wants to fight next time,” Paul answered
