Dana White Responds After Ex UFC Heavyweight Champion Fails the 86 Hrs Water Fast and Admits to Suffering From Headache

Former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski is currently the oldest fighter in the UFC. Arlovski has been in the UFC for 23 years. What’s surprising is that the 44-year-old still performs exceptionally well in a sport where age plays a major factor. But what could be the secret to Arlovski’s longevity?

It’s no secret that MMA fighters, or just fighters in general, do everything in their power to stay fit and healthy. Andrei Arlovski’s no different. The heavyweight posted a fitness challenge on his Instagram that UFC president Dana White himself had tried just a few weeks ago. Here’s how White reacted to the post.

Dana White reacts to Andrei Arlovski trying out the 86-hour water fast

Dana White recently posted a fasting challenge on his social media accounts. The challenge makes a person go on a water diet for 86 hours. The water fast is supposed to help with the prevention of cancer, Alzheimer’s, and some other diseases.

Andrei Arlovski posted a picture of him attempting to complete the water fast and tagged Dana White in the post. Despite failing the challenge, Dana White seemed thrilled to see Arlovski attempting the water fast.

Dana White commented on the post, writing, “Love it, brother!!!! Once u get used to fasting it’s amazing”

White and Arlovski have known each other for over 20 years now. It was heartwarming for fans to see the small interaction between the two. As said earlier, Arlovski has been competing for over twenty years. This makes fans wonder when ‘The Pitbull’ will retire.

Andrei ‘The Pitbull’ Arlovski’s take on retirement

In an interview from a few years ago, Andrei Arlovski revealed he would love to keep fighting until the age of 50. However, he understands that fighting until the age of 50 seems a little far-fetched. So Arlovski admitted he wished to fight until he was 45 years old.

The interview took place two years ago, when ‘The Pitbull’ was 42 years old. Arlovski is now 44 and will turn 45 in February 2024. Given what he said in the interview a few years back, fans believe that the beloved heavyweight is soon to retire.
