Chad “Ochochinco” Johnson and James Harrison have undoubtedly crossed paths a number of times on the field.
With Harrions being a Steelers legend and Johnson being the face of the Bengals for so long, there’s a natural tension between them. Surely, they’ve clashed more often than not.
Now, they’ll take that clash into the octagon.
Johnson and Harrison are set to have a mixed martial arts exhibition match ahead of the Super Bowl this year. Johnson posted about the matchup on Twitter and, yet, it’s still hard to believe this is happening.
Why would you ever want to fight a guy who works out like this? I mean, he literally needed to spice up his pushup challenge with extra humans because he wasn’t challenged enough. That’s not somebody I’d be trying to fight.
But Johnson is down, though.
I’m fighting James Harrison in a exhibition MMA format 3 round bout in New Orleans before Super Bowl, I’m so excited 😆
