King Azoulay returned to Las Vegas recently and once again found himself at the center of an embarrassing situation with the Tuff-N-Uff MMA organization, the same group that had previously removed him from one of their events due to his criminal background.
Azoulay, who presents himself online as a wealthy, successful influencer, attempted to secure free tickets to the Tuff-N-Uff event by reaching out to the owner via Instagram voice message on the afternoon of the show. The owner was in a production meeting when the message arrived and later made a video addressing the whole situation.
“In summary, the guy says, you know, I’m in town. I’d like to come to your event. And I told him, I’m very sorry. I don’t have any more comps,” the owner explained. “We’re about to sell out. Tickets in the social lounge are very awesome and plush. Please go to the box office or online. There’s tickets available at this moment.”
Azoulay had previously claimed the organization had invited him to promote their events and that the owner had apologized for the initial removal while also moving to fire a staff member over it.
The owner’s video cuts directly against that account. He noted he did not even know Azoulay’s name and had no interest in providing free access to someone claiming to fly on private jets while refusing to pay for an $80 ticket.
“I feel as if you’re a really wealthy, incredibly wealthy, successful person. You want to support me, call me and say, ‘Hey, I’d like to buy a VIP booth. I’d like to sponsor. I’d like to do something to support you.’ I mean, the tickets in the VIP social lounge are 80 bucks,” the owner said.
Azoulay had framed his original removal from the event as a misunderstanding, posting what appeared to be a heavily edited phone call in which he claimed the owner apologized.
In his version, the owner said, “I really appreciate your time and coming to the flights and again forgive me for that f**king bulls**t. Not allowed back. We’re going back to the girl that was running the floor before her.”
Azoulay then stated, “He’s firing the girl who spoke to the security to get me out.”
The owner’s post-event video told a different story. No such arrangement had been made, Azoulay’s attempts to gain free entry were unwelcome, and the persistent pestering from both Azoulay and his associates had become a distraction during the event itself.
The $80 ticket price, the owner made clear, is not an unreasonable ask for someone publicly flaunting penthouse suites and private jet travel.
