Sean Strickland Calls Out MMA Guru on Adin Ross Stream
UFC middleweight Sean Strickland recently mentioned one of MMA’s most polarizing content creators — The MMA Guru — during a live stream appearance with Adin Ross.
The outspoken fighter didn’t hold back when fans flooded the chat asking for his opinion on the YouTuber known for his unfiltered takes and aggressive analysis.
“He Just Ruins People’s Lives”
Strickland criticized Guru for going beyond analysis and leaning into personal attacks, saying:
“He just makes a living being a f**ing troll… he doesn’t really report on MMA. He just kind of looks into people’s lives and ruins them.”*
While the comment wasn’t entirely hostile, it clearly showed Strickland’s disapproval of how some creators operate — especially those who dig into fighters’ personal lives for content.

Edmen Shahbazyan Joins the Conversation
During the same stream, UFC middleweight Edmen Shahbazyan chimed in, referring to The MMA Guru as “the media guy.”
Though subtle, the comment showed that even active fighters are aware of Guru’s rising platform — and some view him as part of the MMA media, whether they like his style or not.
Guru Reacts: “Let’s Not Ruin the Bromance”
The MMA Guru responded during his own live stream with humor and sarcasm.
“I ruin someone’s life like once a year… Let’s not let a hoe ruin the bromance between me and Sean Strickland.”
He joked that the backlash only came because he targeted Nina Drama, someone close to Strickland. Previously, his sharp jabs at other figures hadn’t stirred the same reaction.
YouTube Creators Keep Shaping the Fight Game
This moment is another reminder of how independent MMA creators like Lucas Tracy, Bedtime MMA, and The MMA Guru are influencing the narrative around fighters, matchups, and even public perception.
Their content reaches millions and often gets responses from top-tier UFC talent — proving that in today’s MMA landscape, the microphone can hit just as hard as a punch.
