Deen the Great has been involved in another incident with an MMA fighter.

The social media boxer, whose real name is Nurideen Shabazz, was previously banned after threatening ex-UFC fighter Tiki Ghosn last month.

Shabazz seems to have taken nothing from that situation, as new footage now shows him attempting to pick a fight with UFC lightweight Bobby Green.

Deen the Great was caught on camera teasing Bobby Green about his knockout losses over the course of his 53-fight career.

“I’d bet my house and everything I’ve got, I’d beat Bobby,” Deen said.

Green responded by pulling out a large stack of cash and inviting Deen to back up his words on the spot. “Put your money where your mouth is,” said the 39-year-old, who was ready to settle things right there.

“We can bet it right now. We can go and find out right now in front of everybody.”

The situation was defused when Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson stepped in, making it clear he wasn’t going to let a fight break out at his own house party.

The former UFC light heavyweight champion positioned himself between them and pointedly reminded Deen about how things went the last time he challenged an MMA fighter.

“Tiki was a retired f—ing MMA fighter. He’s active. He just knocked someone out a couple of weeks ago,” Jackson said.

Bobby Green’s most recent fight

Bobby Green picked up his second straight win at UFC Mexico City, adding another victory to his record on February 28.

Despite being a heavy underdog against Daniel Zellhuber at Arena CDMX, Green ended up stopping the hometown fighter within two rounds.

Speaking to Michael Bisping after the fight, Green called out Nate Diaz and said he wanted to retire him. But just three weeks later, Diaz took a different path that made any return to the UFC unlikely.

Diaz is set to face Mike Perry on May 16 as part of the Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano undercard.

With Diaz now off the table, Green continues his search for a high-profile opponent following his win in Mexico City.
