  • The cancellation of the fight between Martyn Ford and the Iranian Hulk was accumulation of many things, including rape threats made about Martyn’s family, the realisation that the Iranian Hulk was struggling mentally as well as countless breaks in the contract.

      100%! Agree. I didn't know anything about Martin as a person before all of this and now I've got nothing but respect and admiration. I hope some casting agents start putting him in more roles where we get to see more personality and acting from him. Yeah he's got a great physical presence, but his personality and charisma is so much more impressive.

      A lot of truly hard men are like this in my experience, if not all of them. Apart from that, you'll get a pure windbag that attacks and bullies others.
      Ford reminds me of a bouncer I once accidentally spilt a drink on in Magaluf (I'm 6'5" 240lb, and this dude could have crushed me like a piece of paper), he just shook his head in disapproval and still let me into the club anyway. True men do not seek trouble, especially from those who don't want it.

    I am officially a huge fan of Martyn Ford! What a good guy. Here’s a man who can act anyway he wants because nobody would be crazy enough to do anything about it. But instead of a bully he’s a very empathetic, mature, intelligent man with a heart just as big as his giant frame. We need more people in this chaotic world like Mr. Ford and I salute him for being a good person and doing what’s right. It’s really sad the Iranian Hulk is being taken advantage of by his own team. They’re supposed to protect him and not make him look like a liar and a fake. I hope he gets some help away from all those snakes using him and trying to ruin the poor guys life. He’s lucky Martin Ford recognized something was off and was man enough to call off the fight losing a large sum of money. I hope a lot of people see this video and not only to discover what a good guy Ford is, but also to get a better understanding of the Iranian Hulk and what’ he’s going through with the abusive people he’s surrounded by. Martyn you get mad respect for doing the right thing, and please let’s try and take it easy on the Iranian Hulk.
