Ray J suffered a knockout at Adin Ross’s Brand Risk 14 event, prompting UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland to express deep regret for his attendance.
Brand Risk 14, an event organized by the controversial streamer Adin Ross, featured boxing and MMA matches between former athletes and internet personalities. The spectacle was further marred by peculiar elements in the crowd, including individuals resembling Jeffrey Epstein and Diddy.
Following the event, Strickland shared his dismay on his Instagram story, stating, “I’ve never been a part of anything so shameful in my life. I hate myself, and I feel like less of a man after being here… This is the most f***ed up thing I’ve ever witnessed in my entire f***ing life.” He expressed regret for agreeing to attend, despite his friendship with some involved.
Ray J’s Knockout Amidst Allegations of a Fixed Fight
Ray J’s bout against Supa Hot Fire (DeWayne Stevenson) was unusual from the start and became even stranger after the fight concluded. Ray J claimed there was a pre-arranged plan for how the fight would unfold, suggesting it was intended to be staged rather than a genuine contest.
Speaking after the match, Ray J expressed his confusion and disappointment: “Yo, I thought we had a plan! Like a mothaf***a, bro. Damn, bro. Like that? For real, my n****? That’s janky as f***… I don’t want to say too much because I don’t want to get nobody in trouble, but damn, my n****. N****, we took an L tonight.”
The interviewer attempted to mock the situation, and after Ray J tried to speak with Supa Hot Fire about the outcome, the interviewer decided not to continue the interview. Ray J then reiterated his concerns about financial losses, saying, “Do you know how much money we lost, n****? Wow.”
The fight itself appeared questionable even before the knockout, with Supa Hot Fire not throwing a single strike in the first round before finishing Ray J in the second. Observers noted that Ray J’s striking attempts were unusual, and the fight’s commentators were perplexed by Supa Hot Fire’s lack of engagement in the early rounds.
Despite being regulated as amateur contests, these fights were licensed by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. The possibility of fight fixing under their purview raises concerns, especially given the betting aspect involved.
The situation drew parallels to UFC President Dana White’s frequent assertion, “that’s f****** illegal,” highlighting the potential illegality of such an event, especially given its location at the UFC Apex.

Ray J Knocked Out, Sparks Fight Fix Speculation; Sean Strickland Calls It “Most Shameful Thing”
Ray J’s knockout at Adin Ross’s Brand Risk 14 event has ignited discussions about a potential fight fix. UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland expressed extreme dissatisfaction, labeling his participation in the spectacle as the “most shameful thing” he’s ever been involved in.
The event, promoted by controversial streamer Adin Ross, featured a mix of boxing and MMA bouts involving former athletes and internet personalities. The unconventional atmosphere was amplified by the presence of individuals resembling Jeffrey Epstein and Diddy in the audience.
In the aftermath, Strickland took to his Instagram story to voice his profound disappointment. He stated, “I’ve never been a part of anything so shameful in my life. I hate myself, and I feel less of a man for being here. Oh God, why did I agree to this? I just need to get the f*** out of here, man… I’m sick to my f***ing stomach. That was f***ed up.” He further elaborated, “This is the most f***ed up thing I’ve ever witnessed in my entire f***ing life. I have to go home and look myself in the mirror after that. I’ve never done anything so shameful in my life, being a part of this. Sorry, guys. I tried to be a friend, and next thing you know, my dignity is gone. F***!”
Ray J Knocked Out Amidst Claims of a Pre-Arranged Bout
Ray J’s contest against Supa Hot Fire (DeWayne Stevenson) was peculiar from its inception and grew even stranger post-fight. William Norwood Jr. (Ray J) made statements suggesting a pre-determined outcome for the fight, implying it was intended to be a staged event rather than a genuine combat match.
After the bout, Ray J expressed his bewilderment on the microphone: “Yo, I thought we had a plan! Like a mothaf***a, bro. Damn, bro. Like that? For real, my n****? That’s janky as f*** [laughs]… I don’t want to say too much because I don’t want to get nobody in trouble, but damn, my n****. N****, we took an L tonight.”
Following an exchange with the interviewer, who seemed to mock the “Ray J gets KOd” moment, the broadcaster decided to cease the interview. This occurred as Norwood Jr. attempted to approach Supa Hot Fire to discuss the situation. Ray J then regained the microphone to emphasize the financial implications, exclaiming, “Do you know how much money we lost, n****? Wow.”
The fight’s progression before the knockout further fueled suspicions of it being fixed. Supa Hot Fire notably refrained from throwing any legitimate strikes in the opening round, securing the victory decisively in the second round.
Commentary during the fight highlighted the unusual nature of the bout, with announcers expressing confusion over Supa Hot Fire’s passive approach in the first round. UFC contender Arman Tsarukyan had even speculated about Supahhotfire’s strategic inactivity before the second-round finish.
Although the MMA bouts were classified as amateur contests, they were licensed by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. The notion of fight fixing occurring under their oversight, if true, would be highly irregular. Furthermore, the possibility of betting on such a potentially compromised event adds another layer of impropriety, according to Ray J’s statements.
The event, held at the UFC Meta Apex, ironically occurred while UFC President Dana White’s catchphrase, “that’s f****** illegal,” comes to mind, given the alleged circumstances.
