Former Cincinnati Bengals star Chad ‘Ochocino’ Johnson says that he will fight Pittsburgh Steelers legend James Harrison in an MMA bout before the Super Bowl. Johnson announced the news on X. The fight is scheduled to be five rounds, according to Harrison.
Harrison stated that Ochocinco would not be able to stand after the fight. The fight comes after Johnson explained how he would intimidate Steelers players before games on Inside the NFL.
“I knew it (playing the Steelers) would be a two-chinstrap game,” Johnson said. “Which is why I tried to establish dominance at the beginning by punking their scariest players.”
During this exchange, Harrison and Johnson butted heads in the footage. Somehow, an MMA fight during the week of the Super Bowl was born out of that segment. A promoter has not yet announced or confirmed the fight, but Johnson the fight, but Johnson might want to reconsider before anything becomes official.
Yeah harrison is in the top handful of dudes ever to play in the nfl that i would not want to scrap with.
Someone needs atttention.
Ill take things that will never happen for $1000, Alex.
Yeah I bet Harrison was real scared of him lol
This is more likely than McG ever fighting again
Thats only because mcG has money in the bank, you know how NFL players and money goes.
Conor has cash and causes a scene everywhere he goes. These guys? Not so much.
Chad will show up, he always does but unfortunately he has a bad habit of biting off more than he can chew. Harrison was and likely is still huge and definitely aggressive or was. I see it being a late rd1 or early rd2 KO for Harrison but being an old Bengals fan I’m pulling for Chad Johnson to drop the big bastard.
Lol…this
Janes Harrison was an awesome player. How he never got busted for PEDs is an even bigger accomplishment.
I like Ocho. He’s a complete idiot, but always seemed like he wasn’t being a dick about it. Always had a fun, good hearted spirit to his antics. He made me laugh.
Wasnt Harrison the dude that damn near got paralyzed due to a neck injury? I probably wouldnt be boxing after having severe neck trauma.
With Harrison’s back issues, I’d be afraid he’d fuck himself up throwing a wild haymaker that doesn’t connect.
