“This is what happens when a boxer fights in MMA” - Fans react to footage of BJJ expert making KSI submit multiple times in friendly spar

KSI grappling with a high-level submission specialist is circulating social media.

The X/Twitter account @HappyPunch shared footage of the Prime figurehead versus a jiu-jitsu black belt in a relatively brief series of snippets of the two grappling. Predictably, the black belt was able to have his way with the influencer boxer in a variety of different ways, and several X users clamored to have their say on the video.

Check out the clip below:

Some referenced a former jiu-jitsu champion who was previously supposed to box Olatunji, like @kfua_, who said:

"Here before Dillon Danis quotes this"

Some teased KSI for his reaction to his last fight, losing to Love Island star Tommy Fury. This came across from @lezramgomez, who stated:

"I’m assuming Ksi won & this was a robbery?"

Some felt Olatunji would take the black belt in a boxing bout, like @TruthfulUfcFan, who quipped:

"If that black belt put on gloves NIGHT NIGHT🇳🇬💪🏾"

A few users saw this as an indication of the limitations of the sweet science, like @Kuma4King, who said:

"this is what happens when a boxer fights a MMA"

Some were not taken aback at all, like @xxxtent76057833, who stated:

"Not surprising he’s black belt after all he’ll do this to mayweather and every boxer but if he steps into the ring it’s night night"

KSI and his path in combat sports

Many attribute KSI as the person who kickstarted the influencer boxing movement with his amateur bouts versus Joe Weller and Logan Paul. Then, a professional boxing bout, which was a rematch with Paul, really set fire to that permutation of pugilism. The UK internet personality then left the game for a few years.

He then bested two men in one night when he put away both Swarmz and Luiz Pineda last August. 2023 ultimately saw KSI demolish Faze Temper via first-round KO in January, garner a no-contest versus Joe Fournier after an errant elbow KO in May, and lose on points to Tommy Fury in October.
