IShowSpeed Tapped Three Times by UFC’s Vanessa Demopoulos at Performance Institute

UFC posts from his Las Vegas visit boosted exposure for Demopoulos.

Overview

  • The streamer visited the UFC Performance Institute on Sept. 26 in Las Vegas, meeting Alex Pereira and touring with Forrest Griffin before stepping into the cage.
  • Demopoulos, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt, submitted him repeatedly with techniques including a gogoplata, shoulder-pressure choke, and a straight armbar.
  • She shared highlights on Instagram with the caption that he “admired that he lost,” while the UFC posted its own clip promoting his PI experience.
  • IShowSpeed told viewers afterward that Demopoulos could have broken “every leg in my body,” underscoring how outmatched he felt.
  • The viral session elevated Demopoulos’s profile despite her 5–5 UFC record and recent skid, as some observers also questioned the intensity of certain submissions during the playful roll.
