Adin Ross's Week From Hell: Unpaid Debts, A KO Scandal, A UFC Loss & Sean Strickland Coming To Collect
Honey, when it rains it pours — and for Adin Ross, it's apparently a Category 5 disaster right now. Let's count the bodies.
Somewhere out there, Adin Ross is presumably staring at his ceiling and asking himself: how did it all go so wrong so fast? Because this week? Spectacular chaos. Pull up a chair, darlings. Vivian has receipts.
Let's start with the freshest wound. According to reporting from MSN, a Brazilian UFC star has made what is being called a "huge statement" by beating Adin Ross on YouTube. We don't know if Adin's ego has filed for emotional bankruptcy yet, but we're assuming the paperwork is in the mail.
But wait — we haven't even gotten to the really messy part.
The Sweatergxd Situation
Per NDTV Sports, a Kick streamer named Sweatergxd — allegedly linked to Adin Ross's orbit — reportedly knocked out a friend live on stream. On. Camera. NDTV is asking who this person is, and frankly so are we. Because nothing says "great optics for your brand" like being associated with someone who punches their mates on livestream. Allegedly.
Sean Strickland Wants His Money, Sweetie
After his UFC 328 win, Sean Strickland apparently wasted zero time reminding Adin Ross about a $50,000 bet, according to MSN. Zero. Time. The man won a fight and his first thought was apparently Adin's wallet. Can you blame him? Because we cannot.
Blueface Is Also Waiting By The Mailbox
According to Complex, Blueface has publicly stated that Adin Ross still hasn't paid him following their boxing match. "Still." As in, the check has not arrived. As in, allegedly Adin Ross owes money to multiple people simultaneously and is perhaps very busy not paying them. Blueface said it — we're just quoting.
Brand Risk 14: The Fight-Fixing Cloud
If you thought that was enough, oh honey. Yahoo Sports reports that Adin Ross's own MMA promotion event, Brand Risk 14, got swept up in a fight-fixing controversy involving Ray J. According to NDTV Sports, Ray J is reportedly under investigation after his viral MMA loss. Adin told Yahoo Sports he's "taking that s—t seriously," which is the correct answer, but also the answer someone gives when things have already gone very sideways. Meanwhile, Sean Strickland — yes, him again — told Yahoo Sports he was "sick to my stomach" after attending the event. When a professional fighter who punches people for a living says your event made him nauseous, that's a quote you frame and hang on the wall as a warning.
Oh, and Darren Till is apparently hyped to fight on an upcoming Adin Ross bare-knuckle event, per Fathom Journal. So at least someone's excited!
Adin also found time to tell the world — per Yahoo — that Drake could "beat the f*ck" out of Kendrick Lamar in a boxing match. Priorities, king. Priorities.
Unpaid fighters. A KO scandal. A UFC loss. A queasy Sean Strickland. Rhetorical question of the day: is Adin Ross the most chaotic man in e-celebrity right now, or is this just a Tuesday? MAFKR will be monitoring. Closely. Obsessively. With snacks.
