This Saturday night was incredible for MMA fans, as there were many incredible fights taking place at UFC 287. The duel between Israel Adesanya and Alex Pereira, on the other hand, had everyone’s attention. The dramatic fight ended in the current UFC Middleweight Champion’s favor.
UFC fans couldn’t have asked for a better fight and results than what they witnessed this Saturday. However, they might not know who was the man behind Izzy, who helped him get this win. That man was none other than the famous English YouTuber Amin “Chunkz” Mohamed. The Beta Squad member claims to have “trained” the UFC pro for this fight.

The 27-year-old YouTuber recently shared a picture on Twitter, where he was with none other than Israel Adesanya. Chunkz went to watch the Nigerian-New Zelander MMA pro’s latest fight at UFC 287. But aside from the picture, what caught everyone’s attention was the caption.
Tough camp but we got the job done, you listened to everything i taught you and you are the CHAMP ONCE AGAIN! #UFC287 pic.twitter.com/PMLkgwOqbB
— Chunkz (@Chunkz) April 9, 2023
In the tweet, Chunkz stated that he was the one who taught Izzy how to fight, and that the 33-year-old only won this fight because he followed the YouTuber’s advice. Fans, however, should not take this tweet literally, as it was merely a joke by the Beta Squad member.
Furthermore, Izzy had his foot in a suspicious position in the photo that the English YouTuber uploaded on Twitter. But Chunkz later stated that the UFC Champion’s foot was on his leg and there is nothing suspicious about the image.
It was not the only amazing thing that happened at the UFC 287 as former US President Donald Trump was spotted with a PRIME Hydration bottle. Undoubtedly, this Saturday night was one of the most memorable one for the UFC and YouTube fans.
How did fans react to the YouTuber’s tweet?
Fans were glad to see Chunkz and Israel Adesanya together. They even talked about how excited they looked in the picture. Aside from the happiness of seeing their favorite YouTuber with a renowned UFC fighter, some fans also inquired about the questionable pose in the picture. But the 27-year-old already answered the latter inquiries.
