tiki ghosn Delivers Elbow in Viral Clip After Streamer Confrontation
Former UFC featherweight tiki ghosn landed a sharp elbow that knocked Kick streamer and Misfits Boxing competitor DeenTheGreat to the floor during a house party on Tuesday night (ET), footage of the encounter that has since attracted millions of views shows. The incident adds to a tense 24-hour stretch for the streamer, who was involved in a separate confrontation earlier in the day.
What the footage shows
The video captures DeenTheGreat approaching Ghosn and expressing displeasure when the ex-fighter suggested he did not recognize the streamer. An exchange of words quickly escalated: the streamer warned of a slap, and Ghosn retorted with a pointed reminder about a prior on-camera incident before delivering an elbow that sent DeenTheGreat to the ground. Observers noted that Ghosn did not spill his drink during the brief fracas, and the interaction concluded within moments.
The clip was widely circulated within hours and racked up more than three million views, driving debate about provocation-driven streaming content and the risks of mixing online showmanship with real-life combat sports veterans.
Context and fallout: a bad day for the streamer
The house-party altercation came on the heels of an earlier confrontation that same day. On Feb. 17 (ET), professional powerlifter and bodybuilder Larry Wheels slapped DeenTheGreat outside a restaurant after the streamer allegedly made inappropriate comments toward Wheels' wife during a livestreamed double date organized by Quinton "Rampage" Jackson. That encounter was captured on video and circulated widely, making the later elbow at the house party an especially awkward follow-up for the streamer.
Many in the combat sports community weighed in, with several well-known fighters expressing support for Ghosn's reaction. Commentary ranged from praise of Ghosn's restraint to mockery of the streamer for provoking two physical confrontations within a short time span.
Ghosn's background and wider implications
Tiki Ghosn fought professionally in MMA from 1998 to 2009 and holds a 10-8-1 record, with bouts against prominent opponents over the course of his career. He has long-standing ties to the host of the party and manages multiple high-level fighters, in addition to founding a Huntington Beach training center in 2001. Those credentials help explain why many observers saw his response as an immediate, practiced reaction rather than an uncalculated outburst.
The back-to-back incidents involving the same streamer highlight a recurring tension in the intersection of influencer culture and combat sports: when online creators seek confrontation or sensational moments, they risk drawing the attention—and physical responses—of trained professionals. For DeenTheGreat, the public consequences have been swift, with the two widely shared videos prompting criticism, ridicule, and questions about how his on-camera persona will affect his standing in boxing and streaming circles.
Whether the attention will translate into career momentum or lasting reputational damage remains uncertain. What is clear is that the events underscore the unpredictability that follows when digital provocation meets real-world fighters, and they offer a cautionary example for creators who use confrontation as content strategy.
