Nobody would have ever guessed these two people knew each other! In a recent pinch, Devin Haney responded to Neon, a popular Twitch streamer and a YouTuber, who claimed Haney pressed him at a mosque. Neon is a controversial figure in the streaming domain because of the type of content he dishes out to the public.

Notably, he has been spotted with Sneako quite a few times, another influencer known for his not-so-popular takes. In a recent video, the influencer shared a video addressing the incident, which was later shared on X (formerly Twitter) by an user named Kinck Camp. Chancing upon the clip minutes later, Haney revealed the truth of the incident!

In the Neon clip, the YouTuber claimed, “Devin Haney pressed me at the mosque. He is [going to] see this clip.” Neon further added that he wasn’t sure if Haney tried to press him, but “I was a little weirded out.” According to Neon, Haney walked up to him in the mosque and started acting like Haney was his fan. 

The influencer claimed Haney told him, “‘[I am a] huge fan, bro.’ Then he walks away, then he comes back, and [said] ‘By the way, never turn on your Muslim brothers.’” Reflecting on his account of what happened, Neon stated, “I don’t know what that meant, bro. But I got scared as f**k.” However, Devin ‘The Dream’ Haney wasn’t going to have the half-truth!

So, he hopped on X to share his account of the incident in the mosque. “Never said huge fan.. but everything else is correct. You asked me to be on your stream if I was [a] huge fan I would’ve went on,” said Devin Haney. However, this wasn’t Neon’s first brush with the combat world!

Dana White blocks Neon from UFC event

Back in December 2023, Donald Trump was going to be in attendance at UFC 296. However, before the event, Neon, like the controversy magnet he is, claimed he would confront the ex-president of America. This did not sit well with the fans. More importantly, it did not sit well with the man behind UFC, Dana White. So, he had to take proper action against the streamer.

White banned Neon from entering the premises during the event, who had purchased tickets to attend the fights. In a post-fight interview during the UFC 296, a reporter brought up the topic! So, White said, “What happened is he [Neon] said some stupid sh** on Instagram. And he bought tickets, so he wasn’t anywhere close. When you start saying stupid sh** like that, you’re probably going to get busted up and thrown out of here, making threats and talking dumb sh**, looking for clout.”

It’s safe to say that Neon was trying to get some clout out of Haney’s name. However, if he isn’t careful, he might suffer the same fate as Sneako, who got thrashed by Sean Strickland recently. What do you think of Neon’s statement? Do you think Devin Haney could be Neon’s fan?
