UFC lightweight star Dan Hooker made light work of YouTube star IShowSpeed when they engaged in a sparring session live on Twitch this week.

IShowSpeed, who has over 33 million YouTube subscribers, is known for challenging world-class athletes of all types, but he bit off more than he could chew when he challenged the current No.6 ranked lightweight contender.

Despite clearly taking it very easy on him, Hooker still dropped the influencer with body shots several times during the session and sent him falling flat on his face when he attempted to take him down at one point, all while steering clear of the wild haymakers being thrown back in his direction, and putting up with random time-outs.

Watch the full sparring session below.
