Former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski found himself fighting off a trio of much younger men at the Kaseya Center in Miami on Friday night.
Arlovski was in the house for the Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua fight, with his own BKFC heavyweight title fight against Ben Rothwell coming up in February.
At one point, near the arena’s concession stands, Arlovski can be seen bumping shoulders with a spectator later identified as Jack Doherty, a Youtube creator with over 15 million followers. Known as “The Internat’s Favorite Punching Bag” for generally embarrassing behaviour including trolling and sparking confrontations only to hide behind bodyguards, Doherty may or may not have set this up as a stunt, but what followed was completely predictable.
Arlovski, who has been fighting professionally since 1999, immediately took care of Doherty’s larger body guard, then tossed around two other members of Doherty’s entourage essentially like they were small children. Which, in comparison to the former UFC champion, they quite literally are.
Rather bafflingly, one of those individuals actually threw the first punch. Possibly too young to recognize just who they stepping up against, if they didn’t stage the entire thing for views.
The brawl, such as it was, was rather one-sided in the end and caught on camera. Doherty can later be heard telling his entourage to back off as they retreat, flipping off the heavyweight.
