Threatening to slap a former UFC fighter doesn’t seem like a smart idea in theory, and it turns out it really isn’t in practice either.
Tuesday during a livestream with MMA legend Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, that’s what boxing influencer Deen The Great learned as he mouthed off to UFC fighter-turned-manager Tiki Ghosn. Deen the Great was socked in the face by Ghosn with a punch-elbow hybrid, knocking him back on a balcony.

After Ghosn entered the kitchen of the unit’s balcony they were on, Deen the Great attacked him before they were separated by other people in the room.
The blow was the second Deen the Great absorbed in as many days. The day prior, he was slapped after making a comment toward a bodybuilder’s wife.
Ghosn, 49, is an 18-time professional MMA competitor and a close friend of UFC CEO Dana White, who shared the clip on his Instagram story shortly after it surfaced. He’s also one of the most prominent managers in the sport, leading Arsenal Sports Agency.
Deen the Great, 25, whose real name is Nurideen Shabazz, is a YouTuber and influencer who rode the industry wave into boxing. He’s won seven boxing bouts, mainly under Misfits Boxing under exhibition rules. He has a 1-0 professional boxing record.
