Nurideen “DeenTheGreat” apologizes to Tiki Ghosn, speaks on Dana White and alcohol struggles

On February 18, during his Kick livestream, Nurideen Deen said he wanted to take responsibility for his actions. He admitted he had been drinking before the altercation.

Speaking directly to viewers, he said, “But, nah, I do want to say I apologize on my end. At the end of the day, I feel like he had to put his hands on me. It is what it is. Sometimes, you deal with the consequences. I’m just going to eat that.”

He also confirmed he was intoxicated during the incident. In his own words, “I got into an altercation. I was drunk. I got a little problem with alcohol. I like pulling up on some wine.”



During the same stream, DeenTheGreat mentioned that he had recently been slapped by powerlifter Larry Wheels in a separate incident. He claimed the impact hurt his jaw and made it difficult for him to eat or even sleep.

He explained, “Larry slapped me, and my jaw was hurting, so I couldn’t eat. I couldn’t sleep. I can’t really do much physically. So all I was doing was sipping on liquid.”

Apart from apologizing to Tiki Ghosn, DeenTheGreat also reacted to Dana White sharing the clip on social media. He suggested that if there was a problem, it should be settled in a boxing ring. However, no official fight has been announced.

At this moment, Tiki Ghosn has not released any public statement about the apology, and Dana White has also not responded further.

The situation continues to trend online, with fans debating whether this was a personal dispute or a moment that could lead to a sanctioned fight in the future.
