Mikey said, “I really don’t like bullies, guys, and there is this guy named Sneako making fun of me, making fun of my friend, making fun of Jiu-Jitsu, I challenge Sneako to an MMA fight, I’m gonna shut his mouth”. The Champion stated that he wasn’t happy with being bullied by the streamer. He made jokes about someone’s looks and the sport of BJJ. Therefore, Mikey was challenging him to an MMA bout.
Sneako was quick to react: “I’m a streamer; I joke about everything, me, chat, everything, all day, every day. I said in that video you are upset about you would make me tap in BJJ, you would win”. Further clarifying that he never questioned Musumeci’s skills and believed he would certainly lose in a grappling bout against him. Sadly, it didn’t end here, with the streamer commenting again on Mikey’s looks and circle.
Fans react to Mikey Musumeci challenging Sneako for a MMA fight
The internet trolls took full liberty in taking shots at both Mikey Musumeci and Sneako for their ongoing banter. While many did support the BJJ Champion for taking a stand against bullying. Others questioned the legitimacy of challenging a non-fighter. One user even backed up Mikey, commenting, “Even in a boxing fight mike kills sneako”. Another called the former YouTuber a deadman.
One user backed the streamer, questioning Musumeci’s sense of humor and ability to take jokes, stating, “Nowadays crystal people are so fragile… Bullies made us stronger and we don’t cry if someone is joking about someone”. People took a hit on Mikey for taking things out of proportion. And making a big deal out of online jokes and comments.
Some others commented on both the individuals as well as the concept, stating, “A trained martial artist challenging a YouTuber is embarrassing Mikey’s nice at BJJ but there’s a reason he does BJJ and not MMA”. This would be to clarify that an MMA would involve more than just BJJ and grappling, which is striking and getting him, which is not part of even Mikey’s resume.
Although many believe the bout is never set to happen, it did instigate a lot of ridicule for both individuals. There is no confirmation of the MMA agreement by Sneako, who doesn’t seem to be interested in taking part in it. The streamer is known to make online comments and remarks on sports personalities and influencers for an audience, which will also be banned from YouTube in 2022.
