IShowSpeed took on a UFC fighter on his latest stream and fans were left stunned by how it went down.

The 19-year-old impressed viewers with how he performed in a 50m, $100,000 race against US sprinter and Olympic gold medallist Noah Lyles, displaying some serious pace and finishing relatively close to the athlete.

Travelling to Australia, he took part in other races against AFL football players and then proceeded to venture to New Zealand to try his luck at fighting.

The Cristiano Ronaldo superfan was put through his paces at the City Kickboxing MMA gym in Auckland, where former two-time UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya trains.

UFC's No.6 ranked lightweight Dan Hooker also fights out of the gym and he got inside the Octagon with Speed, who was given a brutal reality check.

Though he likely wasn't going at full capacity, Hooker unleashed a whole lot of pain on Speed after he said, "Nobody in here can beat me in boxing".

Hooker, who has faced the likes of Islam Makhachev, Dustin Poirier and Michael Chandler, took Speed to school and dropped him with stiff shots on more than one occasion.

Although Speed has recently called out Jake Paul following his record-breaking win over Mike Tyson, he looked exhausted after his session with Hooker and told 'Hangman, "You a good a** fighter, I could tell you were going easy on me".

fans reacted to the footage online.

One commented: "Dan hooker was really throwing bombs."

Another said: "Dan Hooker sparring Speed on stream wasn’t what I expected to see today."

A third weighed in, adding: "All jokes aside Hooker could’ve killed him whenever he wanted but I’ve seen enough videos of this kid to see he’s a great athlete under the right coaches and gym he could be pretty good."

Another stated: "Dan Hooker means business, no games!"

A final user replied: "Dan seems like a fella you wouldn't wanna spar with. Unless you're at his level or higher."

After Speed said he has spotted flaws in Paul's game and claimed he could beat him, the Problem Child's manager offered him $10 million to get in the ring and a $10 million bonus in the event he manages to beat him.

"Cool. Tell him I have $10 million for him right now," Nakisa Bidarian said on an Instagram post by thebreadbatchfm.

"Sign this week. If he beats Jake he gets a $10 million bonus. Put your signature where you're clout is."
