What is MMA Guru´s deal? He gets way to involved with the fighters and makes it personal

[Luthien]

I asked Chatgpt to speculate Guru's worth

• Conservative estimates: ~$200K.
• Mid-tier estimates: ~$600K.
• Higher estimates: ~$1.1M or more when factoring in all potential revenue streams.

Being a troll seems to be working for him

 

[philcrow]

It's beneficial to him to draw attention with going over the top with opinions. It's working

 

[chinarice]

Guru is by far the best mma content creator in existence.

He’s 100% self made and shills to no one. It’s refreshing. He gives you his opinion no matter who it might offend. He’s beyond passionate about mma and the ufc too.

I legitimately used to hate him before I actually gave him a shot and him and might mouse are basically the only mma content creators I consume.

90% of sherdog hate Jon Jones—I’d highly suggest watching any of his dozens of Jon Jones videos he’s put out and see if you might not change your mind on him. He’s legitimately funny and more often than not brings up good points.

He will 100% get his ass kicked at some point though if he ever crosses the pond permanently.

He is absolutely garbage and an absolute shitstain of a person

 

[spinup]

Cringey clout chasing edgelord who bases all his content on being a sexist, racist, homophobic douchebag because he knows it sells with a good fraction of the MMA fans.

 

[Superzorro]

From what little I’ve seen on him, he and his fans pretty much encapsulate everything wrong with Gen Z and the internet. And it seems like they all just started watching MMA.

 

[wolffanghameha]

First heard of him from a Dan Hardy stream, thought he sounded like someone with nothing going for him, possibly a learning disability or heavily autistic, so good for him for finding something. You know, like you show a kid how to play a game, the obviously don't get it and do it wrong but they're enjoying it, so fair enough. Now he's considered mainstream and we've got the guy running the circus instead of being a side show.

This kind of content is just irrelevant. I don't know who watches it. Like it's a parasocial relationship with someone whose life accomplishment is cussing out Merab or saying Leon and Lerone aren't British.

 

[shunyata]

He's farming drama content to make more money. Tons of political/culture war/video game streamers and YouTubers do the same.

Lots of people love drama, beefs, feuds and shit-stirring, and if you're good at that, in the current media landscape, you can get very rich and successful.

100%, it's drama whoring and ragebaiting all the way down.

 

[Uber_Noober]

No matter how you feel about Guru, he has a respectable hairline and he’s not a manlet, I figured by that metric alone he’d be embraced on Sherdog.

 

[Mikeydontgiva]

His content can be humorous at times but he tends to cross the line way to often.

He always starts beefing with the fighters or MMA personalities on a personal level and it is never his dog-fight but he inserts himself into all kinds of drama etc etc.. Who the hell does he think he is? in order to beef with Rampage about his son and family issues he is also to nosy and gets involved where he has no business.

He is not a public figure but he is a semi-public figure since he has a platform that talks about MMA and he is not the only Semi-public figure youtuber because there are plenty of them but they never cross the line and get involved with the fighters or MMA personalities and start beefing with them on a personal level like MMA guru does. The fighters and MMA personalities are public figures and there is a barrier between both worlds. Most MMA youtubers and analysts don´t get involved with the fighters on personal level they analyse the fights and are exclusively interested in the result of the fight and talk about the fight etc etc meaning they don´t cross that line because there is just no reason because it is not polite and bad bahaviour taking it to a personal level with them because you don´t know them in real life.

But MMA Guru takes the fighter bashing to a whole level and takes it to a personal level? I mean why the hassle mann you don´t even know them in real life and this is only a sport. ´´You can say I told you this guy was gonna get KO´ed that is within the sport or that guy was gonna lose because I told you etc etc´´


- He was beefing with Ian Garry and his Wife (Name calling her over Ian Garry) to the point where it was on sight if Ian Garry had spotted him in real life. He went back and forth with him as if it was a rap battle or something

- He had a beef with Jones or rather just personally attacked him out of nowhere because Jon Jones just ignored him and MMA guru made an hour plus video saying Jon Jones is gay and citing some bogus evidence saying Jon Jones is gay and that he has a boyfriend etc etc. This is a father of 4 why even make this kind of video bro without first hand witnessing anything and why the lies?

- He had a beef with Michael Bisping and again a back and forth (He had no business beefing with Bisping)

- He use to be on Brendan Shaub´s case and made it personal several times (Majority of it he took it to far and had no business there)

- He had public spat with Nina Drama and went back and forth with her and it was very personal.

- His latest offense is the worst and he might get sued for this one and perhaps even deplaformed, he started calling Raja Jackson Animal repeatedly while warming up and then finally said he deserved to be called the N word being an open racist and started to diss Rampage as a father taking it to a whole new level and making it personal. Rampage answered back and now he is going back and forth with Rampage who says he will take legal action over an incident that happened in 2008 where rampage had a minor car accident but MMA guru twisted the facts and said Rampage had caused miscarriage of a pregnant woman while there was no pregnant woman but what happened was rampage hitting the side mirror of a parked car and there was nobody inside the car he hit.

What I find strange is he has tried hard to involve himself with the Jackson-Pro Wrestling debacle scandal? Is it to get some views? because that topic was trending? and does he think all of this is funny? While for Rampage this is as serious as it gets he is paying lawyers and trying to protect his family.

Sounds like you have a beef with MMA GURU (You have no business beefing with MMA GURU)

 

[AmonTobin]

I feel like he has a loyal cult following.

Doin those streams where people donate money, is good business if you got enough of those.

Ya watching any of those live streams for a few minutes, you see how much money he must be raking in on donations. It’s crazy.

They mad cos they thought he was a fat slob and not a towering ginger monolith

dingdingdingdingding! you got it!
its people who dont have many friends IRL and need a parasocial relationship. or people who are narcissists and need to have their opinions reinforced by a talking head.

Guru has decent MMA knowledge and ive watched him do some PBP before - he's actually pretty good at it. calling out strikes when they happen, what kind of strike it is, etc. but as a person he's smug, whiny and kind of lame. he talks too much shit about fighters he doesnt like and its glaringly obvious. i checked him out just to see what all the fuss was about but i dont know how people watch shit like this. i dont need a stream to accompany watching UFC. and even if i did, Jens Pulver has the official fight companion stream and i would rather listen to Jens any day than Guru.

ive also tried watching his show with DJ and its a lot better than Guru on his own, but i guess thats because of DJ.

They legit have good banter. Guru I think works better when paired w someone else

 

[Slapjit]

So crazy yaar he was in wheelchair prior ji ‍ likely he is drinking lot of milk this is good



haters continue to craft narrative but this success is earned haanji

 

[Serge421]

I didn't read all that but I'm really glad someone knows how to use paragraphs.

 

[SuspectChin]

It's 2025, yet this guy's making videos that look as if like he's recording in an iglu somewhere at the North Pole.

His "deal" is that he's a gigantic douchebag

 

[Benoitthegr8]

An idiot will mostly act like one, an Idiot who people repeatedly pay attention too is an empowered idiot, by empowering the idiot you are doing most of the legwork.

Just don’t click or pay attention, that’s what said idiot wants.

Nothing to be mad about. He looks unwashed most of the time lol

He's also a turd of a person. Absolutely nothing to be mad about regarding that irrelevant goober

People white knighting this tool is quite hilarious though
