‘Ross is trying too hard’: X users mock Adin Ross for trauma dumping on UFC champion Islam Makhachev

American online streamer Adin Ross has become quite popular for his chatty, unintentionally hilarious, and often controversial streams. And it looks like the 24-year-old streamer just gave the internet another unintentionally hilarious moment of comedy gold.

Ross recently interviewed Russian UFC Lightweight Champion Islam Makhachev, but there was one particular question he asked that stood out. He began by sharing how he was stabbed by his uncle at the age of 12 and then asked Islam if he uses trauma to fuel his fights. The interview sparked several amused reactions from users, who felt Ross was trauma-dumping on Islam, who couldn't care less.

Hilarious User Reactions

Many users were seen expressing their amusement at Adin Ross's question. Let’s take a look at some of their reactions.

Trying too hard (via @Beuks605/X)

This user thinks Ross was trying a bit too hard in the video to get Islam Makhachev to like or respect him. But it seems like Islam was the one trying too hard.....to care.

Not very relatable (via @AragornAurelius/X)

Talking about getting stabbed at the age of 12 might not have been the best way to come across as relatable, as this user humorously points out. Perhaps Adin Ross could have gone with alternative questions, like Islam’s favorite ice cream flavor, TV show, or even Kardashian!

Deadly pencil stabbing (via @ETHACOIN/X)

Did Adin Ross really get stabbed at the age of 12 by his uncle with a knife, or was it just a pencil that felt like a knife to the streamer? Looks like this user might just be onto something!

Poor Islam (via @AiAbdi2353/X)

If there were a perfect picture that screamed, "What the heck is this?" or "What in the world am I doing here?" Islam Makhachev nailed it perfectly, as this user hilariously points out with this still from the interview.

Sad bro (via @Ruinedking08/X)

It seems like Adin Ross might have been hoping for a comforting hug from Islam after sharing his traumatic story. Too bad Islam Makhachev only wraps his arms around someone when he’s about to wrestle or grapple them to the ground!

Not a therapist (via @royal_bobby24/X)

Islam isn’t a therapist, as this user hilariously points out. If anything, he’s a submissionist! You know, because he forces his opponents into submission.

Unintentionally funny (via @PresidentRaikou/X)

Fans can’t seem to get enough of Islam Makhachev’s unintentional humor in interviews and press conferences. Maybe the fighter has a promising alternate career as a comedian once he decides to hang up his gloves!

Adin Ross's trauma dump, combined with Islam Makhachev’s priceless reaction has certainly left the internet in stitches. Fans are now eagerly looking forward to more unintentional comedy gold from these two gentlemen! So here's to many more!
