Cops in Austin, Texas, have confirmed that Liver King, known as Brian Johnson, faces a terroristic threat charge.
“Joe Rogan, I’m calling you out, my name’s Liver King. Man to man, I’m picking a fight with you,” The Liver King said in the video.
He said that he didn’t have training in jiu-jitsu.
“You’re a black belt. You should dismantle me,” Liver King said.
“But I’m picking a fight with you.”
Liver King claimed that he had thought about his game plan.
“I’m not gonna train but I hope you’ve been training,” he warned Rogan.
“I’m ready whenever you’re ready. This is actually happening, it’ll be fun.”
Liver King warned that he would make Rogan pay.
Footage shared on Instagram and X showed the influencer being ushered into a police car.
He was sporting a burgundy hoodie and had been handcuffed.
The influencer was looking dishevelled and was wearing a vest over the top of his hoodie.
He didn’t say anything to officers before getting into the car.
I’m picking a fight with you

Johnson is the star of the Netflix film Untold: The Liver King.
The film, released earlier this year, focuses on the internet star’s physique – despite eating raw meat.
The internet star, who refers to himself as a barbarian and ancestral CEO, boasts almost three million followers on Instagram.
In 2023, he claimed that he had a net worth of $310 million, but the figure is heavily disputed.
Experts at MoneyMade suggest his net worth is closer to $12 million.
He rakes in money from being an influencer, as well as the stakes in the supplement brands he has.
Liver King seemed to threaten Rogan with a fight – around two years after the UFC commentator seemed to mock the influencer.
Liver King’s muscly appearance wowed fans, but critics claimed he was using steroids.
He admitted to using steroids after a bodybuilder claimed he was using performance-enhancing drugs.
Liver King admitted he had experimented with testosterone and human growth hormone (HGH).
He was the subject of a $25 million lawsuit that was filed in December 2022.
Rogan, whose YouTube channel boasts more than 20 million subscribers, is yet to respond to the threats made by Liver King.
