A powerlifting YouTuber bit off greater than he could chew.
Larry Wheels recently hit the headlines for what he did during former UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson’s livestream.
Before ‘Deen the Great’ was dropped by Tiki Ghosn in footage that went viral, he also had a physical run-in with Wheels.
The powerlifting YouTuber slapped the influencer boxer – real name Nurideen Shabazz – in front of Jackson after accusing him of disrespecting his wife.
But that wasn’t the powerlifter’s first physical clash caught on camera, and one two years prior ended much in another way.

Larry Wheels was KO’d by 420lb Power Slap star Da Crazy Hawaiian
‘Deen the Great’ shouldn’t be the primary individual Wheels has slapped. Almost two years before the recent incident, the bodybuilding influencer made the ill-advised decision to take part in a consensual slap match against Da Crazy Hawaiian.
The Power Slap star – real name Layne Viernes – is a two-time super heavyweight champion in Dana White’s promotion. He weighed over 400 kilos on the time of his interaction with Wheels.
After shaking off the powerlifter’s slap, Viernes unsurprisingly needed only one strike to flatten the defenseless Wheels.
That end result, nonetheless, won’t have come as a surprise to the influencer.
“I feel there’s no ‘just in case’ — I feel it’s one hundred pc I’m gonna get knocked out,” Wheels openly stated beforehand.
“This guy is like 400 kilos and he’s the champion of the super heavyweights. I told him, ‘Don’t hold back,’ so after I get knocked out, hopefully Ryan and another guys will help me not hit my head on the ground and wake me up straight away with (smelling salts),” he added.
Wheels was fortunately quick to return to his feet and flexed on the camera to indicate he had not been put completely out cold.

Dana White re-shared the clip of Tiki Ghosn dropping ‘Deen the Great’
It will appear that the UFC president enjoyed seeing one in all his promotion’s former fighters dropping ‘Deen the Great’.
A number of hours after Ghosn’s brutal elbow put down the polarizing influencer, Dana White re-shared the clip of the incident onto his Instagram Stories.
White has long been against crossover and celebrity boxing, often going forwards and backwards with Jake Paul over the matter.
His clear disdain for influencer boxers evidently goes beyond just ‘El Gallo’, and he enjoyed seeing one online star’s disrespect being handled by an ex-UFC fighter.
