Undefeated UFC fighter Abdul-Rakhman Yakhyaev responds to MrBeast lookalike claims

Abdul-Rakhman
Yakhyaev didn’t know the most popular YouTuber in the world
until recently.

Yakhyaev has drawn plaudits with a series of impressive finishes in
the
Ultimate Fighting Championship. However, fans also noticed
similarities between Yakhyaev and YouTube sensation Jimmy
Donaldson, also known as MrBeast.

Abdul-Rakhman Yakhyaev’s UFC record and MrBeast
comparisons

Yakhyaev recently revealed that he had no idea who MrBeast was
before he caught wind of the online comparisons following his
knockout win over Raffael
Cerqueira at
UFC Qatar this past November. After checking out MrBeast,
Yakhyaev doesn’t think he looks like the YouTuber and isn’t
enjoying the comparisons.

He even jokes that MrBeast needs to shave off his mustache, telling
Red Corner MMA, “To be honest with you, I didn’t even know who he
was. But after the fight in Qatar, when they started making those
comparisons, I checked him out and found out that he’s some vlogger
who’s popular on YouTube… I don’t think I look like him. People
just imagine things. He needs to remove his mustache, I think… Not
really [enjoying the comparison].”

Yakhyaev has finished nine of his 10 career wins so far, going past
the first round only twice. The unbeaten Turkish light heavyweight
has a combined fight time of 3:33 minutes in his three UFC wins so
far.
