IShowSpeed ‘will get s*** beat out of him’ by UFC fighter as YouTube star floored
IShowSpeed was left battered and bruised after sparring with UFC star Dan Hooker.
Speed, who has been travelling the world in recent weeks, is currently in New Zealand and he opted to try his hand at MMA inside of an octagon. Rocking up to City Kickboxing, the most successful mixed martial arts gym on the island, Speed quickly ended up face-down in the cage.
The American social media sensation claimed: “Nobody in here can beat me at boxing,” but his tone quickly changed when push came to shove. “I know how this sport goes,” Speed stressed, “I don’t want nothing broken. Let’s do boxing.”

“Welcome to my world, brother,” Hangman said with a laugh while Speed complained about a weight difference. However, Hooker was quick to remind him “I’m lighter than you,” given the streamer weighed in upon entering the gym.
“He got me good,” Speed said after leaving the octagon, “You a good a** fighter, I could tell you were going easy on me.” Hangman returned the compliment on social media moments later: “Balls of steel, this man!”

“Speed just got the s*** beaten out of him by Dan Hooker,” one fan shared on social media. While a second said: “Respect Speed for this though, he handled his own against a professional. A lot of ppl [people] could never…”
“Jesus putting a normal man against the Hangman himself is just brutal,” a third posted. While a fourth joked: “Dan Hooker not taking it as easy on Speed as the others is pretty on brand!”
And another added: “Hooker is one of the last guys I would try this with!”
