Adin Ross strongly criticized Leon Edwards after the British fighter lost his title defense against Belal Muhammad at UFC 304. It appears that Ross has not changed his betting habit even after experiencing financial losses from previous UFC fights. He recently bet $250,000 on Edwards to win, considering how the British fighter was on an impressive run of form.
Unfortunately, Belal Muhammad dashed Ross’s hopes, leaving him disappointed. ‘Bully B’ showcased his dominance over the champion for most of the five rounds and emerged victorious by decision. In a recent livestream, Ross passionately criticized Leon Edwards, openly expressing his frustration following the loss.
Leon Edwards you are by far the worst champion ever. You lost in your own home country, you f**king s*ck, you are a disgrace to the UFC… You lost me a sh*t ton of money, you are f**king horrible at what you do…
Adin Ross on his Kick live stream
Adin Ross has developed strong connections with numerous professional fighters in the UFC. The popular streamer has also been spotted attending UFC events on multiple occasions. Following his transition from Twitch to Kick, Ross has become a huge sensation in the online realm. His popularity has even caught the attention of UFC CEO Dana White, who couldn’t help but recognize his widespread appeal.
Even though the tirade began as a critique, it quickly turned disrespectful. The viewers were quick to note that Adin Ross doesn’t hesitate to disparage athletes when they cost him money. They pointed out to Ross that he was at fault for engaging in gambling in the first place. Other UFC fighters soon echoed this view, with Nate Diaz being among the first to support Edwards.
Nate Diaz goes off on Adin Ross for disrespecting Leon Edwards
Former UFC fighter and Edwards’ former opponent Nate Diaz quickly responded to Ross’s comments during his stream. Diaz, being a professional fighter himself, is not one to tolerate insults directed at UFC fighters. He shared his reaction to Ross’s tirade on his Instagram story and even threatened the streamer. Interestingly, Adin Ross has a history of getting into controversial moments with popular fighters.
Nate Diaz and Adin Ross (via Instagram)Ross even got beat up by Jake Paul in a sparring session, which shows that he may not be in a position to disrespect fighters, considering he himself got beat up while trying his hand at the sport. Nate Diaz’s reaction is understandable, given the unnecessary trash-talking towards the former UFC welterweight champ.
How about someone beats your a** for talking you lil fag

It turns out that Ross was live-streaming when Nate Diaz posted the story and then quickly responded to it. However, this incident should serve as a lesson for the American streamer not to show disrespect towards UFC fighters. Unlike others, these fighters make a living from fighting, so picking a fight with them is highly unwise.
