Gambling Streamer Subo Gets Assaulted by MMA Fighter Live on Stream
Shovkhal Churchaev, a pop-MMA fighter, ended up slapping and punching Subhan Mamedov (aka “Subo”) during a Dubai livestream after Subo allegedly mocked him on camera. The fight was real, the stream was live, and the internet already had a field day.
Who Is Subo?
Subo (real name Subhan Mamedov) isn’t an ordinary gambling streamer. He’s a controversial figure with a history, and not the kind you brag about. As multiple recent reports note, Subo was implicated in major financial troubles in 2025: Russian authorities launched a criminal case against him for tax evasion and money laundering, alleging that between 2020 and 2022 he and some associates avoided paying tens of millions of rubles.
Because of that case, in 2025, Subo was stripped of Russian citizenship and banned from entering Russia for 70 years. What’s more, one of his properties in the Moscow region, a small apartment linked to him, was seized to cover part of his tax debts.
After this fall from grace, Subo relocated to Dubai, where he rebranded. No longer a Russian-based prankster/streamer, he switched to crypto-gambling streaming, mixing big bets and flashy lifestyle imagery.
So the guy already had a rep: financial drama, legal heat, controversial content, and a willingness to gamble big (both in money and in provocation). Enter the recent collab with a real fighter, and this story begins to make sense.
How the Gambling Stream Turned into a Fight
Subo reportedly paid Churchaev $30,000 to appear as a guest on his stream in Dubai. At first glance, it looked like a big-money guest move for hype.
But during the stream, Subo started mocking the fighter: he taunted Churchaev over his failed attempts to land a contract with the UFC, claiming the fighter had “begged” Dana White personally for a deal and still got nothing.
Eventually, Churchaev snapped on camera. He started hitting Subo, landing slaps, punches, and knee strikes, pinning him to the floor, and demanding a public apology. The fighter was yelling things like “Apologize!” and “Get on your knees!” Subo turned out to be hard to crack, as he never ended up apologizing.
The stream was eventually cut, and the VOD deleted — but it was too late. Clips had already spread across X, Reddit, and Telegram.
The result is one of the most widely seen “stream-fail-turned-violent” events of late 2025.

What People Online Are Saying
Reddit and X exploded once the clips surfaced. In a thread on r/LivestreamFail, one of the top-voted comments reads:
“Subo is a disgraced Russian pranker … paid a famous Pop-MMA fighter 30k to appear … then rage-baited him. So this happened.”
Another put it simpler:
“The second rule is do not rage-bait a freaking MMA fighter.”
Lots of viewers pointed out the obvious: Subo gambled for clout and lost. This level of drama has reignited debates about streamer ethics, guest choices, and the line between hype content and real-world danger.
Why This Drama Matters
There are a few real lessons beyond the meme value and social media laughs.
- Mixing money and volatile personalities is a bad idea. The entire deal was hype, and a $30,000 collab was rooted in ego and ambition, not respect. Once you provoke a trained fighter, you don’t get content — you get a punch in the face.
- This shows how far some streamers will go for views. Subo blended gambling, legal trouble, and provocation — and paid a fighter to appear. This escalates the whole “stream for clout” game into a dangerous space.
- It also marks a growing pattern: risky content is becoming normalized among certain streamer circles. People seem less shocked by live-violence clips and more intrigued. That normalization is dangerous because it lowers the threshold for what counts as “acceptable content.”
In a way, this isn’t just about Subo getting his ass handed to him. It’s a wake-up call for streamers who think “bigger, louder, more provocative = more views.” It’s also about viewers who find this entertaining, and for platforms and regulators who aren’t paying enough attention yet.
It’s a brutal reminder that once you cross certain lines, content stops being content and becomes real life.
