Former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski has revealed he battled cancer on three separate occasions, using his personal health journey as the foundation for a new business venture aimed at helping others transform their physical performance.
The 46-year-old combat sports veteran, who is currently preparing for a bare-knuckle title bout, made the announcement on social media, marking nearly one year since his most recent cancer removal procedure.
“Three cancers in the past — and I’m still HERE Still STANDING . Still FIGHTING,” Arlovski wrote in a recent post. “Cancer didn’t BREAK me. It TESTED me and forced me to go deeper — MENTALLY and PHYSICALLY.”
The Belarus-born athlete has channeled his experiences into “The Arlovski Method,” a coaching program that combines training protocols, nutrition guidance, and what he describes as cutting-edge science focused on epigenetics. According to his official website, Arlovski positions himself as a “UFC CHAMPION. CANCER SURVIVOR. PEAK PERFORMANCE COACH.”
“The Arlovski Method is the exact system I used to rebuild my body, sharpen my mind, and defy age,” his website states. “Now, I help men and women of all ages reclaim their energy, strength, and confidence with data-driven protocols, elite coaching, and relentless accountability.”
In promotional materials for the program, Arlovski addresses men over 40 directly, questioning whether they are “performing like the man you used to be or the man you know should be.”
“What most people don’t know is that I’ve been dealing with cancer not once, not twice, but three separate times,” Arlovski explains in a video on his website. “While I’ll never claim that any program treats or cures anything, I will say this: the mindset, the structure, and the protocol I used to keep my body strong and resilient played a major role in helping me keep going in and out of the cage.”
The program promises participants extensive blood work to identify what Arlovski describes as “toxins and genetic barriers,” followed by custom protocols designed to address these issues.
Services listed include tailored workouts, personalized nutrition plans, weekly one-on-one check-ins, and what’s billed as “medical concierge” support.
“Toxins, heavy metals, hormone disruptors — all of this are silently breaking you down,” Arlovski says in his promotional pitch. “And training and nutrition alone will not fix this.”
The program targets what Arlovski calls epigenetics, which he describes as “the study of how toxins, hormone disruptors, and nutrient deficiencies affect your genes and accelerate aging.”
While promoting his business venture, Arlovski continues to maintain an active athletic career. He remains focused on his upcoming bare-knuckle championship opportunity, describing his approach as rooted in “DISCIPLINE, CONSISTENCY and RESPECT for the process.”
“This JOURNEY is bigger than a BELT,” he wrote. “It’s about RESILIENCE, GRATITUDE and PROVING that no matter what you go THROUGH you can come back STRONGER.”
The program advertises a “Results GUARANTEE — 6 Months to YOUR BEST SELF” and includes direct contact information for interested clients.
Arlovski, who held the UFC heavyweight championship and competed in mixed martial arts’ premier organization for years, frames his new endeavor as an extension of the principles that sustained his lengthy athletic career.
“No Quick Fix. Only Discipline,” reads a tagline on his official website, encapsulating the philosophy he claims separates his approach from other wellness programs in an increasingly crowded marketplace.
