When keeping it real goes wrong, you might find yourself throwing hands with a former UFC heavyweight champion. A brief but chaotic brawl broke out Friday night during the Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua event at the Kaseya Center in Miami, as Andrei Arlovski clashed with members of streamer Jack Doherty’s entourage in a concourse walkway.
The incident began when Arlovski, 46, walked past Doherty and his group consisting of a bodyguard and two young men and made contact with the streamer. Words were exchanged, and tensions escalated instantly. One of the men in Doherty’s group threw a punch at Arlovski. The former UFC champion fired back immediately.
This guy squared up and threw the first punch started it all. Whoever he is.
Then all his mates jumped in.

Arlovski first turned his attention to the large bodyguard, trading punches as the confrontation erupted. The two additional men attempted to jump Arlovski from behind, but he quickly neutralized both:
He tossed one man wearing a white shirt to the ground and kicked him
He threw punches at the second, who wore a black shirt
Throughout the scuffle, Doherty who appeared startled repeatedly told his group to back off.
Bystanders and staff intervened, eventually separating the parties. Arlovski was escorted toward an elevator, while Doherty’s entourage retreated while flashing middle fingers at the departing UFC veteran.
The altercation was captured on Doherty’s live stream, which rapidly spread across social media. Doherty, 22, is known for stunt and prank content and has amassed more than 15 million YouTube subscribers.
He was arrested in Miami in November after disrupting traffic while filming content, but later released on bond.
