IShowSpeed displayed his expertise in combat sports during a wrestling match against Adin Ross, successfully forcing the streamer to submit in the presence of UFC President Dana White, who served as the referee.
The event known as Fanatics Fest is currently being held in New York City, where it has brought together numerous prominent figures in the sports industry such as Tom Brady and Kevin Durant, as well as celebrities like rapper Jay Z and professional wrestlers Cody Rhodes and Rhea Ripley.
At Fanatics Fest, popular YouTuber IShowSpeed is making a big impression and clearly enjoying himself. During the event, he even managed to beat a UFC fighter in a 40-meter dash while maintaining direct eye contact, creating a viral moment that has captivated his fans.

Despite not being his only opportunity, this weekend provided him with ample chances to display his athletic talents. One of these opportunities was an impromptu wrestling match in an octagon at the Javits Center against fellow streamer Adin Ross.
After taking some time to assess each other’s abilities, Speed initiated a low kick and then proceeded to apply a clutch, successfully bringing his opponent down with a rear naked choke. Ross struggled for breath before ultimately tapping out.
Not only that, but the fight also occurred directly in front of UFC President Dana White, who served as the referee for the match.

Despite the unlikelihood of a contract in Speed’s future, he is still showcasing his skills at Fanatics Fest. In fact, he surpassed Brazilian MMA fighter Alex Pereira’s score on a punching machine, earning 921 points compared to Pereira’s 906.

IShowSpeed gained notoriety for his incredible displays of athleticism. In fact, the streamer became an internet sensation in early August 2024 when he successfully leaped over two supercars in a row – an impressive feat that resulted in a temporary ban on his YouTube channel.
It is important to mention that his match against Ross, along with his other sports-related activities at Fanatics Fest, were broadcasted on other influencers’ channels. However, their fight was held on Adin’s personal Kick profile.
At the moment, Speed seems to be having a good time as he gets ready to resume streaming, and then take a trip to Southeast Asia.
