In an Instagram video Johnson posted on June 23, he says, “Joe Rogan, I’m calling you out, my name’s Liver King. Man to man, I’m picking a fight with you. I have no training in Jiu-jitsu, you’re a black belt, you should dismantle me. But I’m picking a fight with you. Your rules, I’ll come to you, whenever you’re ready.”

An additional Instagram video posted around 7:30 p.m. Tuesday shows a person who appears to be Johnson, wearing a burgundy hoody and pants, handcuffed and getting into a police vehicle.
