A recent incident involving UFC fighter Kayla Harrison and a YouTube prankster has sparked considerable discussion online. The prankster, who goes by the name ImReddTV, interrupted Harrison’s training session, intending to offer her some “pointers.”What ensued was far from the lighthearted reaction he might have expected.
YouTube has become a platform where prank videos can go viral, often generating significant attention and revenue. However, the gym environment can pose serious challenges for pranksters. Just last year, the BUCURTWINS faced a precarious situation when a bodybuilder aggressively responded to their prank.
When Pranks Go Wrong: Kayla Harrison’s Unexpected Response
In a video posted on Instagram, the prankster disrupted Kayla Harrison’s training in the octagon with his unsolicited advice. Almost immediately, Harrison discerned the intent behind his interruption and responded with a challenge: “You wanna bow to your sensei real quick?” indicating the ground.
Initially confused, ImReddTV’s response was cut short as Harrison swiftly took him down, showcasing her impressive strength and agility. Although no significant blows were exchanged, it was evident that she controlled the encounter, prompting the YouTuber to plead, “It’s just a prank!”
Undeterred, Harrison applied an armbar, compelling the prankster to tap out in discomfort. This incident illustrates the risks inherent in pranking professional fighters, particularly when the target can physically retaliate.
This isn’t the first time ImReddTV has faced backlash during a prank on UFC fighters. In a separate event from 2022, he encountered a similarly tense situation with light heavyweight Jamahal Hill, who reacted aggressively to his antics. Other pranksters, such as Aris Sureni (TopNotch Idiots), have also faced dire consequences after provoking fighters, with incidents including choking and even threats from fighters like Sean Strickland.
In light of these events, it seems increasingly clear that while pranks can be entertaining, they can also lead to serious repercussions, especially in settings frequented by those trained in combat sports.
