Online streamer and social influencer iShowSpeed found out quick that he’s not ready for the UFC
iShowSpeed got a taste of professional wrestling when he got hit with a vicious spear in WWE and now he found out what it’s like to go up against a UFC fighter after getting tapped multiple times by veteran strawweight Vanessa Demopolous.
During a trip to Las Vegas and an appearance at the UFC Performance Institute, online streamer and social influencer iShowSpeed decided to get in the cage and mix it up with Demopoulous, who lives and trains in Las Vegas.
He discovered rather quickly that going against a well-trained fighter — male or female — can be a really bad idea.
Demopolous quickly latched onto him during the first grappling exchange and she ended up tapping him with a gogoplata — a rarely seen move in major MMA promotions. On the next go, she effectively just buried her shoulder into his next and iShowSpeed was quick to shout mercy.
For some reason, he decided to go back for one more attempt and Demopolous was quick to try and pull guard but iShowSpeed learned his lesson not to go to the ground. That didn’t work out either as Demopoulos just decided to use a straight armbar from the bottom and that submission also forced him to tap.
It’s pretty safe to assume iShowSpeed won’t be making an appearance in the UFC or even The Contender Series anytime soon but at least he didn’t get torn in half like he did against Bron Breakker in WWE.
