Bodybuilder Patrick Moore isn’t short on strength despite being in the middle of dieting for the 2025 Arnold Classic. On January 23, 2025, a video surfaced of Moore engaging in a two-on-one street fight, which seemingly went in his favor.
According to his Instagram stories, Moore was accused by these two men of selling steroids out of the Leader Fitness gym location. Moore shared private text messages where he communicated with one of the men involved. He sent Moore a message stating, ‘You’re gonna catch a murder charge for knocking someone’s temple.’
Moore has denied all allegations and has kept a history of text messages to prove his innocence. The video shows Moore slipping one of the aggressor’s punches before flooring him with a well-timed right hook. While he’s landing punches on the grounded man, another onlooker in a hoodie gets involved to try to break up the altercation.

Considering Patrick Moore is currently dieting down to bring one of his most complete physiques to the nearing 2025 Arnold Classic, set to take place in Columbus, Ohio from February 27 to March 2, he was still able to adequately defend himself against the two aggressors.
In a recent Instagram post, you can witness the fight for yourself. Moore states that they ‘called’ for a ‘1V1’ but he knew he would end up having to fight off multiple individuals.

In 2024, Patrick Moore registered some impressive performances on stage. He walked away in sixth place at the stacked Europa Pro show and took seventh at the Legion Sports Fest Pro, won by Brett ‘The Butcher’ Wilkin. Moore has placed as high as 10th on the Mr. Olympia stage, which he accomplished back in 2019.
Assuming Patrick Moore is still competing at the 2025 Arnold Classic, he’ll definitely face a murderer’s row of contenders. In addition to reigning Mr. Olympia Samson Dauda and Derek Lunsford, he’ll face off against contenders Andrew Jacked, Shaun Clarida, Carlos Thomas Jr., Akim Williams, Brandon Curry, and a few others.
In the past, Moore has presented a near-flawless upper body but has struggled to bring comparable definition to his legs. Should he shore up this weakness, he could find himself vying for a spot on the podium in less than six weeks.
It remains to be seen if a police investigation will ensue. However, it should be noted that Patrick Moore mentioned that one of the men involved proceeded to call the local police department. Despite the heated altercation, fans are anxiously awaiting Patrick Moore’s next bodybuilding performance. If this story has any more developments, Fitness Volt will keep you up to date.
