Former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski, in an interview with mixedmartialarts.com, talks about the time he almost got into a fight with actor Russel Crow.
He was trying to get a picture with Russel Crow, during the De la Hoya-Pacquiao fight, at Las Vegas hotel. Crowe simply ignored him, and Arlovski wasn’t sure if the actor didn’t hear, so he asked him again, and touched him. Then things got ugly.
With a face like Andrei Arlovski approaching you, can you blame Crow for being a bit intimidated?
Good thing for Crow that Arlovski is areal life nice guy. Of course Crow would have probably pressed charges if ever a fight had ever broke out.
