Tensions flared at a press conference for Adin Ross’s Brand Risk Boxing event when podcaster Adam22 appeared visibly upset after his wife, Lena The Plug, referred to his opponent Jason Luv as “large in many ways.” The incident occurred on January 23, 2026, in Miami, Florida, ahead of the grudge match between Adam22 and Luv. Video footage of the exchange, shared on social media, has sparked widespread discussion of the couple’s ongoing dynamics.
The panel discussion began cordially, with Lena Nersesian, known as Lena The Plug, expressing enthusiasm for the fight, stating,
“We’re pretty happy that he’s fighting Jason.”
However, Adam John Grandmaison, or Adam22, interjected with a pointed remark,
“He don’t care about it that he’s fighting Jason,”
His voice carried a note of sarcasm as he leaned forward, brows furrowed in apparent irritation. The moment escalated when Lena described Jason Thomas, aka Jason Luv,
“a very large man… large in many ways,”
while comparing their physical statures side by side and noting they were “pretty comparable” in size.
Adam22 quickly responded by highlighting his own weight advantage, saying he weighed “10 pounds more than him” and that training would “knock off about 10, 15 pounds off me.” His body language, including a tense posture and gripped hands on the table, suggested discomfort, particularly given the comment’s potential double meaning tied to Lena’s 2023 adult film collaboration with Luv, which Adam had publicly approved. An off-microphone comment labeling the situation “goyslop” drew gasps and laughter from the crowd, with one voice exclaiming, “This is just crazy as fuck, bro,” further amplifying the awkward atmosphere.
As the discussion turned to predictions, a panelist favored “the brother” Jason Luv to win, with another concurring, “I gotta go,” leaving Adam22 to process the exchange in silence. This episode traces back to 2023, when Adam22, host of the No Jumper podcast, consented to Lena’s scene with Luv, a former Marine turned adult actor and rapper, leading to public scrutiny and memes that have lingered. Now, at age 42, Adam22 is set to face the 40-year-old Luv in the ring, but the presser remarks have reignited questions about unresolved tensions.
Social media reactions have been swift and varied, with the clip amassing over 274,000 views on X and broader versions reaching 2.6 million. Comments range from “Literal humiliation ritual” to “This is wild Saying another man is ‘large’,” reflecting a mix of mockery and skepticism about the feud’s authenticity. Adam22 and Lena, married since 2023 and parents to a child, have leveraged such controversies for content, with his net worth estimated at $5 million from podcasting and hers at $3 million from online endeavors. Luv’s $3 million from his career and event hosting, and Adin Ross’s $20 million from streaming, underscore the financial stakes in influencer boxing.
Observers note that Adam22’s reaction likely stems from the comment reopening old wounds from the 2023 incident, which he once framed as a bold relationship choice but has since become a source of public jest. The event, held at the Brand Risk Warehouse, was promoted by Ross, but the exchange highlights how personal histories can overshadow sporting hype.
