Social media erupts as UFC fans react to 'infertile' streamer securing UFC fighter and BJJ legend’s number in viral moment.

“Staged”: Fans React to Controversial Streamer Getting UFC Fighter and BJJ Legend’s Number on Street

 For controversial streamer Clavicular, also known as Braden Eric Peters, even a casual trip to the mall is a content opportunity. But his latest stunt—successfully getting the number of a UFC fighter and BJJ legend—has fans crying foul. Recently, during one of his Kick live streams, he bumped into UFC rising star Bia Mesquita. Clavicular did not hold back from admiring her beauty. “Oh, wow, you’re beautiful. What’s your name?” said Clavicular. Mesquita introduced herself, after which Eric Peters asked her to “hang out” with him. Mesquita showed interest, and the streamer grabbed her number. “Let’s do it. All right, I’ll invite you out later,” Clavicular said. “We’ll have a sick time. I know a really good strip of bars, so… Like, you probably went out and, like, had a good time, but you’ve never, like, had a good time with a cloud, like, that’s next level. Mesquita may be new to the UFC, but she has rapidly gained momentum in the bantamweight division. The 35-year-old boasts a 3-0 record in the promotion and remains unbeaten at 7-0 overall. Mesquita may be new to the UFC, but she has rapidly gained momentum in the bantamweight division. The 35-year-old boasts a 3-0 record and remains unbeaten 7-0 overall. However, she has built a strong reputation in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and is regarded as one of the most dominant competitors. She recently won against Montserrat Rendon via submission at UFC Vegas 114. Over the years, she has earned gold medals across numerous national and international BJJ competitions. Mesquita [https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-all-about-bia-mesquitas-nasty-arm-break-that-threatened-her-fighting-career/] holds the IBJJF record for most world title wins and has been inducted into the IBJJF Hall of Fame. The 10-time BJJ world champion and 8-time Pan-American champion has won 38 gold medals, cementing her legacy as a true icon of the sport. On the other hand, Clavicular is a streamer who shares “looksmaxxing” tips with his 860,000 TikTok followers, performs stunts like these for his 296,000 Kick followers, and posts lifestyle content and updates for his 450,000 IG followers. However, he is often involved in controversial activities. He reportedly engages in extreme and dangerous practices, including striking his own facial bones to alter his appearance, at times even using a hammer. In fact, he made headlines in late 2025 when he hit a man with his Tesla Cybertruck during a live stream. Now, his latest interaction with UFC star Mesquita has also gone viral across social media, further fueling debate among fans about the encounter. FANS REACT AFTER UFC STAR BIA MESQUITA’S INTERACTION WITH CLAVICULAR GOES VIRAL One fan felt that it was no coincidence that he bumped into Mesquita in a busy evening and wrote, “more staged than Waiting for Godot.” But another fan thought otherwise and expressed surprise. They wrote “Wow” after seeing Mesquita share her number with Clavicular. Because of Clavicular’s reputation, one fan commented, “He is going to seizuremax again after she chokes him out.” But one fan was just not bothered. “Who the hell cares??” Clavicular is no stranger to collaborating with fighters. Last month, he teamed up with Ryan Garcia during a livestream, where the 20-year-old streamer endured 21 body shots from the boxer. He also joins the growing list of streamers stepping into the combat sports space, alongside names like N3on, Adin Ross, and Sneako. Now, coming back to the streamer, what’s your take on this?
