Would you want to see Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson take on Conor McGregor?
Former NFL star Chad Johnson (aka Chad Ochocinco) made his boxing debut as part of the undercard for Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul, taking on Brian Maxwell in an exhibition bout.
Despite getting knocked down, Johnson had a valiant effort, going the distance with Maxwell.
Following the fight, Johnson had a compelling post-fight speech, telling people to live their lives and not be scared to fail.
“Not afraid to fail,” Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson says he’s “ready for Conor McGregor.”
And on that note, Johnson comedically stated that perhaps next on his list would be former two-time UFC champion Conor McGregor.
McGregor has a bit of history with boxing and Mayweather in his own right, losing to Mayweather in their August 2017 “Money Fight.”
