Jack Doherty: “Jack must be very careful”

Former UFC star Josh Thomson has shared a word of warning to live streamers following the recent incident between Jack Doherty and Andrei Arlovski.

Doherty, a YouTuber known for his pranks, was involved in a fight with former UFC champion Andrei Arlovski backstage during the Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua fight.

Arlovski took care of three members of Doherty’s crew, including the YouTuber’s bodyguard. Although Doherty faced heavy criticism for the act, he maintained his innocence and blamed the former UFC champion for starting the fight.

Thomson spoke with Angelo Bodetti on Bad catches channel and shared his views on the matter. “The Punk” was afraid that something terrible would happen to these streamers who organized fights by bumping into people and having their bodyguards take care of them.

“They’re not equipped to prevent something like this from happening and Jack has to be very careful. I’m not just talking about Jack, I’m talking about a lot of these other guys.”

Thomson added that someone might pull out a gun afterwards

“How do you take this job knowing that one day someone is going to point a gun at you. You know what? ‘Boom’. These are the things that worry and scare me in this world of influencers and live streaming.”

“Ariel, you have more connections, please put me in touch. Yes, I would love to, especially with that bodyguard. Someone said he was a [rookie]… Everyone who wrote these messages of support, it’s really helpful, and thank you so much for your support.”

Doherty confirmed his guard is ready to fight Arlovski. The YouTuber has constantly posted about a fight happening and even claimed he would take all the money.
