MrBeast sponsors arm wrestling competition
During a recent live video stream by MrBeast, he shared an intriguing challenge with the caption, "Do you think you can beat the 34-time arm wrestling champion for $10k? (I won off camera 😂)."
In the video, MrBeast introduced the 34-time female arm wrestling champion and invited four contestants to compete. First up was his friend Chandler, but the champion swiftly defeated him in a fraction of a second.
MrBeast then announced that he would increase the prize money each time she defeated a competitor. Initially, he rewarded her with $2,500, and when she defeated the second contestant, he added another $2,500.
Next, a random man with "bigger hands" tried his luck but was also defeated in seconds. MrBeast humorously remarked, "you can't even stay for half a second."
For the third round, an even larger challenger stepped up, but the female champion emerged victorious again. Finally, MrBeast called upon the last contestant, whom he thought was named Rock, but the man corrected him, saying his name was Eric. This marked the start of the final round.
This final round proved to be the toughest, as the opponent had a substantial triceps. However, the female champion persevered and ultimately defeated him too. MrBeast congratulated her and awarded her the promised $10,000 prize, which she joyfully accepted, bringing the video to an end.
The video received mixed reactions, with some of MrBeast's fans suggesting that the champion cheated by using her entire body, playfully commenting that she seemed to forget it was supposed to be arm wrestling. As of the time of writing, the video had garnered over 745k likes and 6k comments on Instagram.

Fans react to MrBeast’s sponsor to arm wrestling
After watching the video of MrBeast on Instagram, fans shared their views on comment section. One fan said, "Bro she just got paid 10,000 dollars to arm wrestle four dudes, y’all just salty."
Another fan wrote, "Y’all if she’s the 34 time champion I think she knows how to arm wrestle correctly 😂"
The third user wrote, "People, learn about armwrestling before judging and criticize!! Armwrestling is a full body sport, that's why we have weight classes and it's mostly due to safety reasons. Arm only wrestling are those when you see arms breaking!! They didnt use it cause they don't know the sport. It's not cheating, it's almost a rule! 😉💪"
The fourth user said, "GUYS; she clearly cheated. It’s called arm wrestling not BODY WEIGHT wrestling, everyone else used their arm strength not their body weight. She CLEARLY leaned back at the end clip and used her weight to do it. It’s not body shame or women shaming it’s pure cheating."
The fifth user wrote, "Its completely legal, you're delusional"
