Fighters often stay active on social media to connect with their fans, and YouTube is one of the platforms where they go live, play video games, share vlogs, and more. Recently, UFC’s undefeated featherweight fighter Jean Silva streamed a horror game live and scared himself on camera, which was absolutely hilarious.
Demetrious Johnson is one of the fighters who built a large following on YouTube by streaming video games. Current featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski, on the other hand, shares cooking videos. Many fighters use the platform to reveal their hidden talents, and sometimes, those moments end up being unintentionally funny for fans.
In a recent clip, Brazilian fighter Jean Silva was playing a story-driven horror game. The game took a serious turn when a ghost suddenly appeared on screen with intense sound effects, startling Silva so much that he practically jumped out of his seat. Watching an undefeated, fierce fighter inside the cage get scared by a video game made for a hilarious moment that fans couldn’t get enough of.

“It’s going to be Yair Rodriguez vs. Volkanovski. And then it’s just me and Diego left. That’s what I think, maybe the UFC will do. I’m not sure, but in my view. I think that’s what makes sense now. It may happen. A good fight.”
Silva, now ranked #11, also mentioned the possibility of Movsar Evloev facing UFC newcomer Aaron Pico. He questioned whether the promotion genuinely views Evloev as a future champion. Fans are now watching closely to see when ‘The Lord’ returns to the Octagon.
