The singer, 45, took on the influencer, 35, in a co-main MMA fight at web personality Adin Ross’ UFC Apex event in Las Vegas on Saturday, May 23.
At across the 2:50 mark within the second round, the pair exchanged just a few missed punches while smiling at one another. As they danced across the ring, they looked as if it would discuss with one another and make light of the fight. Because the seconds ticked down, Ray J had Supa Hot Fan the flames of on the ropes before the YouTuber landed with a single punch to the rapper’s face near the two:35 mark, disorienting Ray J to the purpose that he fell into the ropes before hitting the canvas.
The referee quickly intervened and called the match, marking a KO loss for Ray J, real name William Ray Norwood Jr.
An arguably much more fiery exchange occurred after the match, when Ray J — the brother of Brandy Norwood who famously dated Kim Kardashian — seemingly suggested that the celebrity fight was someway rigged.
