WATCH | Influencer Deen The Great KO’d by former UFC fighter Tiki Ghosn after ‘slap’ threat

Influencer Deen The Great made the unfortunate decision to trash-talk former UFC fighter Tiki Ghosn with grave consequences.

As social media continues to evolve and grow, influencers are becoming prominent in today’s society. Streamers like Adin Ross and others have made a living by creating content, with loyal fanbases behind them.

Influencer Deen The Great and former UFC welterweight Tiki Ghosn were in attendance at a recent house party in California. Ghosn, who used to manage the likes of Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson and Dustin Poirier after his fighting career, was the wrong man for Deen The Great to pick on in the moment.

Deen The Great, whose real name is Nurideen Shabazz, was streaming on Rumble at the party when he and Ghosn first came face-to-face. After an initial, cordial handshake, things quickly became awkward after Shabazz accused Ghosn of lying about not knowing who he was.

After Ghosn mocked a recent clip of Shabazz getting slapped on one of Jackson’s recent live streams, all hell broke loose on camera, as Ghosn knocked out Shabazz with an elbow.

As of this writing, neither Shabazz nor Ghosn has publicly commented on the incident. It’s also uncertain whether or not legal action will be taken against either party.

Ghosn, 49, went 0-4 in the UFC but had success outside of the promotion during his career in the cage. He fought the likes of Robbie Lawler, Chris Lytle, and ‘crazy’ Bob Cook during his MMA career.

After retiring from MMA in 2009, following a win over Brian Warren at Call to Arms I, Ghosn made the full-time move to athlete management. He also made guest coaching appearances during two seasons of The Ultimate Fighter, including TUF 10 featuring Rashad Evans and Rampage Jackson.

In 2024, former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland accused Ghosn of predatory behavior with multiple women. Ghosn has firmly denied all accusations.
