UFC President Dana White delivered a harsh assessment after watching one of the viral Island Boys get knocked out during their combat sports attempt on Adin Ross’ streaming platform.
The Island Boys, known for their distinctive appearance and viral TikTok fame, recently ventured into combat sports with disastrous results. After viewing footage of the knockout, White and UFC executive Hunter Campbell had plenty to say about the duo’s athletic endeavors.
“I think they’re gonna have to kiss each other again, fighting isn’t working out,” White remarked bluntly, referencing the twins’ previous social media antics.
The knockout in question reportedly offered a $10,000 prize, prompting observers to comment on the financial incentive. “Oh my god, and I’m not gonna lie if they were to go to sleep, one of them for 10 grand get your money back,” noted one viewer of the footage.
Another spectator simply responded with “Hell nah” after witnessing the Island Boy’s performance.
This isn’t the first time the Island Boys have attempted to expand their brand beyond social media fame, but their foray into combat sports appears to have given White and other MMA professionals some unexpected entertainment at their expense.
The twins, who rose to fame through their distinctive look and catchy videos, may need to reconsider their career path according to White’s cutting commentary. The UFC president, never one to mince words, clearly doesn’t see a future for them in the world of professional combat sports.
The Island Boys may find themselves returning to what made them famous in the first place – their social media presence rather than their athletic abilities.
