TUF 32 fighter accused of being "drunk 24x7" snaps back at fellow competitors: "Rampage broke the house down"

TUF 32 contestant Edwin Cooper Jr., accused of being perpetually drunk on the show, recently fired back at his fellow teammates. The sixth episode of the latest season of the reality TV-style contest was arguably the most entertaining so far, with opposing coaches Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko trying to guide their teams through challenging situations.

The episode featured Cooper Jr.'s housemates expressing frustration over his talkative nature. Their complaints escalated to the point where his teammate Omran Chaaban, after catching him sipping from a bottle containing alcohol, accused the featherweight fighter of being constantly drunk:

"That guy is drunk 24x7. If Shevchenko knows that, she’s gonna kill him."

Cooper Jr. recently reacted to a video of the segment on X. He seemingly tried to downplay the seriousness of the allegations of alcohol abuse by comparing his behavior to more outrageous incidents on the show, like Rampage Jackson breaking down a door on TUF 10:

"That’s crazy, lol. Rampage broke the house down. I’m just chilling; crazy ! Tv different, boy I tell ya."

Cooper Jr. is scheduled to take on Mairon Santos of Team Grasso in the final 145-pound TUF 32 quarterfinal contest.

Valentina Shevchenko explodes at TUF 32 team after contestants almost brawl during sparring

During episode six of TUF 32, middleweight fighter Ryan Loder was shown sparring with Edwin Cooper Jr. when the featherweight hopeful unexpectedly threw an elbow. Although the elbow wasn't delivered with full force, Cooper Jr. wasn't wearing a protective pad, risking a cut on Loder just days before his next bout.

The incident prompted Valentina Shevchenko to shout, "You have to be careful!" as the two contestants nearly began brawling. However, 'Bullet' was not willing to tolerate any of it. She intervened between the two fighters, sternly rebuking them and defusing the situation. She remarked:

"I am trying for you guys to get you everything that you need, to help you for your fight and what you are doing here – you are fighting each other… You are fighting each other for what? Keep your energy inside; you will fight over there but not here this is not your fight. Be martial artists; what are you doing in the training?"
