YouTube star Darren "IShowSpeed" went against Ultimate Fighting Championship fighter Randy Brown in a one versus race. The showdown between the two took place at the Fanatics Fest in New York City, where there was a multitude of other celebrities present as well, such as Mike Tyson, Lil Wayne, Quavo, Hulk Hogan, Rhea Ripley, and more.

With a large crowd gathering around to watch the spectacle, IShowSpeed and Brown started in a sprint. However, the streamer showed off the clear advantage he held in his running speed by staring directly at the fighter for much of the course of the race.

The creator then jumped right over the cushioning placed at the end of the racetrack. Speed quickly claimed that he had not even utilized his full capacity while going up against Brown. Talking to the UFC athlete, IShowSpeed exclaimed:

"I didn't even go full speed! I didn't even go full speed on you, and you had a head start."

Netizens have since hailed the athletic ability of the YouTuber, with many complimenting him on his "speed," as implied by his online username. Others believed the creator could pass off as a "generational athlete" based on his physical prowess.

@easymoneycam1 remarked on IShowSpeed's running skills, stating:

"Speed got to make a run to be a track star or something, dude, his athleticism is insane"
"Speed is actually a generational athlete," wrote @CavsBub

Many netizens, such as @aprcn, desired a race between the YouTuber and NFL athlete Tyreek Hill:

"Tyreek hill baited man I really wanted to see them two race."
"We all know speed is fast as hell I want to see him race tyreek hill," wrote @nigagio3
"To be fair ufc fighters aren’t know for their speed and speeds in his name," wrote @h8erclip

Which streamers did IShowSpeed meet at the Fanatic Fest in New York City?

IShowSpeed was not the only content creator present at the Fanatic Fest. Much like the YouTuber, Kick creator Adin Ross was invited as a "special guest" for the event. The two were invited to the 4th&1 sports show, hosted by Cam Newton and Omari Collins.

While Ross had arrived with a fellow Stacey Step Bros (SSB) member Cameron "Cuffem", the event was also attended by Louis "LosPollosTV". Ross and Cuffem came across LosPollosTV during the event. During a segment of Ross' stream, the three could be seen meeting up with Speed and greeting him.


Adin Ross had also interacted with sports celebrities present at the fest, including American football icons Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski. The streamer also played football with the two stars, with Brady throwing the ball and Ross going up against Gronkowski in a bid to catch it.
