tiki ghosn slugs streamer DeenTheGreat during Quinton “Rampage” Jackson livestream party
Former mixed-martial artist and manager Tiki Ghosn struck streamer DeenTheGreat during a livestreamed house party hosted by Quinton “Rampage” Jackson in the early hours of February 18, 2026. The on-camera altercation followed a pattern of disruptive behavior by the streamer that included an earlier confrontation the previous day.
What unfolded on the livestream
The incident occurred in the late-night/early-morning window and was captured live. Footage shows an intoxicated DeenTheGreat becoming increasingly aggressive, making derogatory comments and threatening physical confrontation. Several attendees attempted to intervene and calm the situation, but tensions escalated quickly. At approximately 4: 51 a. m. ET on February 18, 2026, Tiki Ghosn moved in and delivered a decisive elbow strike to DeenTheGreat’s face; the streamer staggered backward as the feed continued.
Videos of the moment circulated widely online within hours. Viewers and commentators focused on the suddenness of the strike and on questions about when physical intervention is warranted at social events, especially those that are being broadcast to a live audience. The footage captured the reactions of party guests and the stunned silence that followed the impact.
A prior confrontation: Larry Wheels altercation
This was not an isolated episode for the streamer. On February 17, 2026, the day before the house party, DeenTheGreat was involved in a public clash with professional bodybuilder and powerlifter Larry Wheels. That encounter took place outside a restaurant after the streamer repeatedly complimented Wheels’ wife and requested a hug, behavior that prompted Wheels to strike him. The two incidents together have intensified scrutiny of the streamer’s conduct across live and in-person settings.
The back-to-back nature of the episodes has fueled debate about personal boundaries, accountability for creators whose lives are broadcast, and the heightened risks when alcohol and cameras mix. Observers note that repeated confrontations in public can rapidly erode goodwill and lead to tougher consequences, both legally and within the wider online community.
Background and reactions
Tiki Ghosn is a veteran of mixed-martial-arts competition who fought from 1998 to 2009 and later moved into coaching and management. He has longstanding ties with Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and was a founding member of Team Punishment alongside other notable fighters. His in-ring record, high-profile matchups and subsequent coaching roles have given him experience handling heated situations.
Reaction to the livestream strike has been mixed. Many viewers praised Ghosn for stepping in to halt what they perceived as an escalating threat, while others urged caution about physical retaliation and the potential legal fallout of striking someone during a live broadcast. Conversations online have centered on respect, consent, and the responsibilities of streamers who draw large audiences.
Legal and social consequences remain possible. Public altercations captured on camera can lead to law-enforcement inquiries, civil claims or bans from hosting future events, depending on how involved parties and authorities choose to proceed. For their part, attendees and hosts face pressure to manage behavior proactively to prevent similar incidents.
As videos continue to circulate and reactions build, the episode has become a high-profile example of how livestream culture, celebrity interactions and personal boundaries intersect — and how quickly online attention can turn a late-night party into a widely discussed controversy.
