Streamer Who Was Banned From UFC 296 For Threats Towards Donald Trump Details Apology Talks With Dana White

Originally posted on MMA News | By Kyle Dimond | Last updated 12/19/23

During the post-fight press conference at UFC 296, Dana White spoke about a streamer that was banned from the event.

White said that Neon, a popular Twitch streamer that goes by the gaming ID 'n3on', had been denied access to the T-Mobile Arena on Saturday night after a video he posted about Donald Trump.

With the former President in the building, security is always going to be far more intense than usual and Neon's comments before the event didn't portray him in the best of light.

"Imma walk up, Imma talk my s*** to Trump and it's gonna be a very good experience. I'm gonna talk my s***, I don't care if the secret service is there, I don't give a f***, Imma talk s*** so."

During the press conference, White was asked to comment on Neon being refused entry to the event and he was more than happy to elaborate on why he was turned away.

"He said he was banned from the arena? No what happened is he said some stupid s*** on Instagram. He bought tickets so he wasn't anywhere close, when you start saying stupid s*** like that, you're probably gonna get busted up and thrown out of here. Making threats and talking dumb s***"

Neon Issues Public Apology After Being Denied Entry To UFC 296

During a recent video, Neon addressed his fans to talk about this past weekend and give his side of the story.

He made it very clear that he regrets his actions and would take them back if he could but has learned a vital lesson as a result.

"I want to start off by apologizing to UFC, Donald Trump and Dana White for everything I said and I actually that night, when I said all that, the problem with me is like I put the camera on and I black out and I don't realize and like I actually started to realize it. It hit me in the head that I'm really doing too much, too too much. It's not even worth it. I talk too crazy and I don't even realize it and like I don't even try to get the clip, it's not even that, I don't even try to go for the clip. I just saw whatever the f*** I want and I feel like I'm behind the screen when in reality I'm in person."

Neon also said that he apologized to White in person for what he said before the event that got him barred from the final UFC card of 2023.

"I literally went down at Red Rock, he called me down and I face to face apologized to him like a man and it was really good and he accepted it and yeah, that was the first time I've ever had to apologize to someone in person."
