No matter how famous an influencer you are, you should never mess with a UFC legend. YouTuber Jack Doherty just learned this the hard way when he got into a backstage brawl with Andrei Adlovski. During the intense Anthony Joshua vs. Jake Paul fight in Miami on December 19, 2025, the former UFC heavyweight champion grabbed the spotlight without even stepping into the ring.
In a now-viral moment caught on camera, Andrei Adlovski, aka ‘The Pitbull’, found himself in the middle of an unexpected backstage scruffle following the Netflix fight. Short video clips circulating on X showed Adlovski throwing punches while visibly angry, as security and bystanders rushed in. The 22-year-old controversial streamer was among those caught up in the chaos.
According to witness reports, things escalated after someone from Doherty’s group bumped into Adlovski backstage. Fans online have reacted strongly to the incident, with many wondering if the popular prankster even knew who he was messing with.
What happened with Jack Doherty backstage?
In the viral video, Arlovski can be seen throwing punches at a group, fending off multiple people at once. By the time security intervened, he had already knocked a man to the ground and was moving towards others. The camera also captures Doherty, mostly staying behind his security team, before he gestures for everyone to calm down. Arlovski eventually slows down and leaves the area with a partner.
The scruffle went viral in no time, becoming one of the most talked-about moments of the night, even briefly overshadowing the boxing itself. “Do they even know who Andrei Arlovski is?” one user wrote. Another added, “There’s a reason his nickname is Pitbull.” No serious injuries were reported, and neither Arlovski nor Doherty has issued an official statement.

Who is Andrei Arlovski?
Andrei Arlovski is no ordinary man. The 46-year-old Belarusian-American is a professional mixed martial artist and one of he most accomplished heavyweights in MMA history. A former UFC Heavyweight Champion, Arlovski is best known in the ring as The Pitbull. Standing at 6′ 3″, Arlovski holds a record for the most wins in the heavyweight division, with 23 victories under the Ultimate Fighting Championship banner.
Andrei’s legacy at UFC includes some of the biggest wins in heavyweight history. Likewise, his attendance at Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua was another example of his involvement in combat sports. He will have a Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) heavyweight title clash with Ben Rothwell in early 2026. On the personal front, he is married to Milana Arlovskaya, and they have two sons, Andrei and Dominic, and a daughter, Savanna.
A glimpse into the Pitbull’s illustrious career: When is he retiring?
Arlovski won the interim UFC heavyweight title at 51 in February 2005 and was later promoted to undisputed champion in June 2005 after defending it against Justin Eilers at UFC 53. After a whirlwind career, he left UFC in 2008 only to return to the ring six years later to finish his MMA run with the promotion. Earlier this year, the MMA veteran transitioned to Dirty Boxing, stopping Terrance Hodges in the second round in March 2025.
Though Arlovski left the UFC in 2024, he is far from slowing down. He has since competed across multiple combat sports, including bare-knuckle boxing, where he continues to rack up wins. Besides UFC, he has also competed for Affliction, Strikeforce, M-1 Challenge, WSOF, EliteXC, and ONE FC. He also knows kickboxing, sambo, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu. The MMA veteran has also stepped into Hollywood, with roles in films like The Equalizer 2 and appearances on TV series such as Limitless.
After ruling the ring for decades, Arlovski is now ready to leave his gloves behind. Amid viral reactions online about his backstage brawl, BKFC announced on Saturday, December 20, 2025, that The Pitbull will have his final fight at BKFC 76 in Fort Worth, Texas, on June 21, 2026. For his final heavyweight bout, he is going to take on Geronimo dos Santos.
Who is Jack Doherty?
Jack Doherty is one of the internet’s most polarising young creators, drawing attention as much for his controversial content as for his massive reach. Beginning with just 100 subscribers at age 13, he has grown into one of the fastest-rising U.S. influencers, boasting over 15 million YouTube subscribers, 10 million TikTok followers, and more than 2.8 million followers on Instagram.
Doherty is known for livestreaming and for confrontational prank content that often sparks backlash. Just weeks ago, in November 2025, he made headlines after being arrested in Miami Beach, where his disruptive behaviour allegedly caused a dangerous traffic situation in the city’s busy Entertainment District.
Whether the backstage fight was a misunderstanding or a provocation gone wrong, one thing is clear: picking a fight with the Pitbull is still a bad idea, even in 2025.
