The Insane World of UFC Fanfiction.

Main plot / premise

The video is presented as an “explorer guide” into a largely unnoticed corner of the UFC/MMA fandom devoted to UFC fanfiction. It argues that while MMA fans are often stereotyped as straight men, there’s a massive community—especially women writing BL (Boy’s Love)—centered heavily on Habib Nurmagamedov x Islam Makhachev (the ship name “Habisu”).

It then tours three major platforms—AO3, Wattpad, and Tumblr—comparing:

• how intense (“crazy”) the content gets,
• what happens when fans are discovered on mainstream social media,
• and why Habisu is so dominant.

Highlights & key moments

Trigger moment / hook

The narrator finds a tweet about Habib & Islam and realizes MMA fandom isn’t just straight dudes—there’s a whole unexplored subculture of explicit fanfiction.

Quick explainer on fanfiction terms (comedic self-protection)

The narrator uses humor to cover fandom vocabulary, including:

• fujoshi/fudanshi terminology,
• common ship shorthand (and platform names like AO3, Wattpad, Tumblr),
• repeated comedic “seriousness” about having “ball knowledge,”
• while insisting they’re not endorsing harassment.

AO3 segment: “Habisu” dominates

Numbers shock

AO3 is shown as heavily skewed toward Habib x Islam—with over 100 stories each—far beyond other big UFC names (e.g., Conor, Jon Jones, etc., receiving relatively few).

Graphic/explicit examples (played as a “literary dramatic reading”)

The narrator selects fanfics with long tags and reads excerpts with exaggerated commentary, including:

• “They Can Hear Me Crying All Around the World” (ongoing, extremely long) featuring terms like:
  • spit roasting,
  • humiliation,
  • degradation,
  • and other explicit sexual elements.
• Emphasis on the author’s “research accuracy,” including:
  • Habib’s training background,
  • specific career knowledge,
  • and dialogue written to mimic Habib’s English mannerisms.
• A deleted/archived fic “While You Sleep in the Entire Morning”, described in vivid detail, including:
  • note-based setup,
  • a recurring dynamic where Habib is dominant and Islam submissive.

Other pairings + “crack ship” moments

The video name-drops multiple rare/crossover pairings—some strangely specific or joke-ish (even Stalin)—and claims fighters from Dagestan/Muslim-region backgrounds are disproportionately represented.

One “college AU novel” called out as structurally impressive

“Like a Friend” is described as roughly 82,075 words (about a full novel), with heavy warnings/tags and a large list of UFC characters. Its plot is characterized as a dark obsession arc:

• Islam is a shy newcomer.
• Habib is brilliant but unstable—obsessive, controlling, and manipulative.
• Rivalry/chaos involves Ilia Tapuria and Conor McGregor.
• A forced-feminization arc and other non-consensual/dark elements are mentioned.
• The narrator can’t finish it, but stresses the “achievement” of sustaining a doomed obsession across many chapters.

Meme-like ranking comparisons

The narrator notes that Ryzen has more fics than Conor on AO3, joking that it proves “MMA superiority” in fanfiction terms.

Wattpad segment: comparatively tame (mostly)

Why it’s “tamer”

Many popular Wattpad MMA stories are described as original characters rather than true fanfiction.

A few examples of “celebrity insert but not necessarily explicit”

• “Fight for You” is framed as harmless melodrama with a (possibly confused) UFC reference.
• “Beastly Devotion” (2017) is described as a grief/miscarriage story involving:
  • Kane Velasquez
  • and Dana White,
  • characterized as more plot-driven than graphic.

Islam/Habib Wattpad stays heterosexual

The narrator claims Wattpad’s Habib & Islam content is not Habisu—everything is heterosexual.

• “Islam Makhachev fanfiction” is excerpted as polished romance prose.
• Common themes include arranged marriage, with often religious elements and prayer references.
• Conclusion: Wattpad feels safer/less explicit than AO3/Tumblr (in the narrator’s view).

Tumblr segment: discovery panic + heavy visual culture

The narrator gets “caught” by the fandom

After posting tweets promising to cover Tumblr, the community reacts as if spotted:

• panic posts (“OMG they found us”),
• calls to delete/private content,
• worries about exposure to “Twitter chuds.”

Explicit/graphic visual focus (blurred)

Screenshots are shown with visuals featuring:

• sexualized/romantic fan art,
• male-pregnancy (“MRE”) references,
• “shirtless” imagery,
• wrestling/grappling visuals and captions.

The narrator repeatedly notes many visuals are blurred.

A “requests” ecosystem + philosophical shipping debates

Tumblr is portrayed as both:

• request-driven fan culture (“write me X, she’ll oblige”),
• and discussion-heavy fandom analysis—particularly alpha/omega pairing debates using dense, interpretive fandom language.

Another explicit Tumblr story example

The narrator summarizes a second-person perspective romance/erotic scene involving Hamza Chamay, emphasizing:

• “careful giant framing,”
• intense desire,
• arousal-oriented narration.

Why “Habisu” is #1 (main argument)

The narrator gives three reasons:

1. BL comfort/escape BL lets readers (especially women) enjoy angst and intense fantasy without self-inserting into a female character—reducing fear of being emotionally harmed by a female lead.

2. Easy projection dynamic + “real-life brothers” Habib and Islam are treated as a uniquely compatible duo (long-time closeness, rivalry, childhood bond, training together), making romantic tension feel “natural” to the fandom.

3. Forbiddenness (“haram” taboo) as the fuel The narrator argues many writers come from highly traditional Muslim societies where homosexuality is taboo/illegal, making forbidden romance especially tempting and relatable as an escape from real-world constraints.

Ending / tone

• The narrator wraps by emphasizing freedom of expression, claiming the stories are public.
• Then there’s a deliberately provocative (and joking) “consent” gag: the narrator says viewers should write fanfiction about them too.
• Final sign-off: “Goodbye.”

Jokes / recurring comedic devices

• Mock-heroic framing (guide, rabbit hole, “explorer disturbed the natural order”).
• Over-the-top outrage while insisting they don’t want harassment.
• “Ball knowledge” bragging about fight-history details.
• Half-meme, half-serious comparisons (e.g., word count vs Harry Potter, “Ryzen superiority,” UFC fandom rankings).
• Light mockery of social media culture (e.g., “Twitter chuds,” deletion panic).
