A brawl has recently broke out between Martyn Ford and his upcoming opponent, the Iranian Hulk, and the 'world's scariest man' sent his opponent flying as the two faced off ahead of their fight. You can see it here:
Ford, who’s been dubbed the ‘world’s scariest man’, and rival the Iranian Hulk, who’s real name is Sajad Gharibi, are currently in Dubai where they’ve had their first chance at a face-to-face stare down.
In the footage, the two men can be seen getting close to each other before Ford pushes Gharibi, sending him sprawling backwards.

In another clip, Gharibi charges towards Ford - who is significantly taller than him - and attempts to push him to the ground, but is unsuccessful and ends up tumbling to his knees.
The two men are set to fight at The O2 Arena in London on 2 April and have been throwing themselves into gruelling training regimes.
However, Gharibi’s unusual training methods, which include bending metal bars, punching walls, ripping apart melons and jostling with a group of guys, have been questioned by some fight fans.
After sharing footage of his workouts on Instagram, Gharibi’s followers were less than impressed.

One person said: “This is not training. The guy isn’t even hitting him hard. My daughter hits harder than that. I want this to be a decent fight but these videos just show how unprepared he is, it’s a joke.”
Predicting a win for his opponent, another wrote: “Why don’t you look like your pics?? Oh, because they are PhotoShopped!! Dude this is not fight training, this is clown work that guy isn’t even hitting you. We are all hoping for a decent fight but I fear it’s a 1st round knockout!”
A third person asked: “What do you think you are doing bruh?”
While Ford has previously branded the training as ‘embarrassing’ and reassured fans that is a ‘real fight’.

He told Mirror Fighting: "I was embarrassed, genuinely embarrassed.
"People ask me if this is a real fight or if this is some kind of WWE fight. And yes of course it is 100 percent this is going off.
"He is either an absolute genius and is putting this content out to fool me that he is that bad. Or he was conceived too close to a nuclear experiment and his head isn’t right.
"Because there is something about that video and all of them I can’t grasp what he is doing. The contract's signed and the fights are real and he is putting out the content like that."
