As a seasoned gamer who’s seen it all, from the early days of Pong to the latest VR adventures, I have to admit, FanaticsFest was a game-changer. The event brought together legends across various fields, but none quite captured my attention like the one and only IShowSpeed.
The FanaticsFest occurred from August 16th to the 18th, attracting big-name celebrities and sports legends. Some prominent figures who attended included Tom Brady, Kevin Durant, Derek Jeter, Jay-Z, along with IShowSpeed and Adin Ross. However, it was IShowSpeed who truly stole the show.
IShowSpeed, A Generational Athlete
One thrilling instance occurred when Speed outran a UFC athlete in a 40-yard dash. Despite maintaining eye contact with his competitor throughout the race, Speed emerged victorious.

Concerning UFC fighters, IShowSpeed surprisingly surpassed Alex Pereira’s score on the same boxing machine.

However, it’s worth noting that one particularly thrilling experience for him at FanaticsFest was his encounter with Adin Ross. With UFC-President Dana White acting as the referee, they engaged in a heated battle in the octagon, all under the watchful eyes of the spectators.
Following an intriguing lunge for a low kick, Ross found himself successfully wrapping his arms around Adin in a chokehold from behind. Consequently, Ross was forced to submit by tapping out not long after.
It’s fascinating to think how great of an athlete IShowSpeed could have been if he never became a streamer. Clearly a man of many talents.
As a gamer, I’m glad to see he keeps his fun-loving spirit alive at gatherings such as these, even though he’s hinted at returning to live streaming shortly.
