Former NFL stars Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson and James Harrison will fight in an exhibition mixed martial arts bout in New Orleans next year, the pair announced on social media Wednesday. Johnson first announced the news of the fight – set to take place ahead of Super Bowl LIX – writing on X, formerly known as Twitter: “I’m so excited.” The length of the fight seems to be a point of contention, though.
In 2021, he competed in a four-round boxing match against MMA fighter and boxer Brian Maxwell as part of the undercard for the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Logan Paul bout. Johnson had an 11-year career in the NFL, the majority of which he spent with the Cincinnati Bengals. He finished his career with the New England Patriots. The former wide receiver had 766 receptions for 11,059 yards and 67 touchdowns in 166 games. He was named a Pro Bowler six times and a first-team All-Pro three times.
