Influencer And Occasional Boxer Deen the Great Gets Reality Check at Rampage Jackson Party, Immediately Regrets Talking Tough

Turns out talking reckless at a party full of actual fighters is still a bad idea.

Influencer and part-time boxer Deen the Great found that out the hard way over the weekend when he showed up to a party hosted by former UFC champ Quinton Rampage Jackson and decided to chirp the wrong guy.

That guy happened to be Tiki Ghosn, Rampage’s longtime friend, coach, and a man whose résumé includes actually fighting people for a living.

Video of the incident shows Deen and Ghosn locked in an awkward, tense exchange that very clearly did not need to happen. Deen can be heard saying, “Don’t act like you don’t know me,” to which Ghosn responds with the perfect amount of calm menace: “I don’t know you, nice to meet you, though.”

Instead of taking that exit ramp and going to grab a drink, Deen doubled down, accusing Ghosn of fronting because women were around. Bold strategy. Unsurprisingly, it did not pay off.

“I don’t like your attitude and I don’t like your f*cking tone,” Ghosn said, moments before Deen replied with the timeless classic, “I don’t like you at all, though.”

At that point, Ghosn asked if Deen was “the guy that got slapped on video,” which prompted Deen to threaten to “slap the shit” out of him. That’s when Ghosn stopped talking and threw what appears to be a clean elbow that sent Deen flying out of frame like a background character in a Street Fighter game.

Deen briefly tried to reengage after regaining his bearings, but cooler heads stepped in and separated the two before things got worse.

Afterward, Deen claimed the whole thing was staged for internet clout, writing that Ghosn elbowed him “for the clip” while he was intoxicated. Which is certainly one way to spin getting folded at a party.

That explanation didn’t exactly gain traction among actual fighters.

When combat sports outlet Happy Punch reposted the video, the comment section turned into a virtual victory lap for Ghosn. Jorge Masvidal chimed in with a supportive “Well done, Tiki,” complete with clapping emojis, while Jason Mayhem Miller added, “I only know this guy from getting beat up at parties.”

Not ideal.

Deen has spent the last few years building a reputation in influencer boxing, fighting under the Misfits Boxing banner. He rattled off seven straight wins before finally taking a loss to Amado Vargas back in December.

Unfortunately for Deen, influencer boxing credentials don’t mean much when you’re jawing at a former UFC fighter in real life, at a party hosted by another former UFC fighter, surrounded by people who have absolutely zero interest in your viral aspirations.
