In his appearance on the MMA Hour, Demetrious Johnson previewed a grappling match between him and Bradley Martyn. Here is what he said:

The biggest thing about the whole logistics is proving that just because you're big doesn't mean you can beat somebody who's smaller. Yes, if I wasn't a trained athlete, he would absolutely be stronger. But, I've been spending the last 20 years of my fu****g life dealing with people bigger than me...When was the last time, he wrestled somebody who's fu****g 300 pounds? He hasn't. I've dealt with this my whole entire life.
