Kick streamer Adin Ross and Twitch streamer Kiley "Sketch" were named as the participants in a proposed fight for an influencer event. The potential event in question is set to be hosted by UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) athlete and online personality Sean O’Malley. Sean was in fact, in discussion with Adin about the fight. Speaking of his potential event, Sean O’Malley said:
"Sugar Show Fighting Championship, some one-minute rounds. Maybe you (Adin Ross) versus someone boxing or MMA, someone with your skill level. I don't want you to get hurt. What about you versus Sketch?"
While Sketch's name was just a suggestion, Adin Ross seemed eager to explore the idea. The Kick streamer responded:
"Let's do it!"
Explaining the potential rules, Sean O'Malley added:
"Three, three-minute rounds, Amateur MMA rules, no elbows, no knees, you versus Sketch could be the main event."
When asked about the potential timeframe of this proposed event, the MMA star said:
"You do gotta start getting ready. Let's plan on it being sometime in maybe late October, early November. I think that will be a good time. I'll figure out the details and let you know."
Does Adin Ross and Sketch have any combat experience? Exploring their past combat sports streams
Adin Ross and Sean O'Malley are teaming up again for a potential influencer combat sports event. This isn't their first collaboration, as the duo previously sparred in an MMA cage in April 2024. It was, of course, just a lighthearted practice session and not intended for any event.

Adin Ross has previous experience hosting combat events, notably his viral Warehouse Boxing Event, which was sponsored by Kick. However, the event had to be shut down as it was not sanctioned by any boxing association in Miami.
As for Sketch, like Adin Ross, he hasn't had much exposure to combat sports events. However, he did host a stream in March 2024, during which he sparred with his friend and fellow Twitch streamer Nicholas "Jynxzi." Watch their boxing stream here:
As of now, Sketch has not seen or responded to the proposed fight. He shares a close bond with Adin Ross, and the two recently collaborated on Adin's Kick channel for a sleepover stream (joined by Cameron "Ciffem," and Steven "Konvy").
