During a recent episode of the Night Cap podcast with Shannon Sharpe, ex-NFL star Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson expressed his desire to challenge none other than UFC’s Max Holloway.
Sharpe – the co-host – immediately said that it would take Holloway no more than 30 seconds to put Ochocinco to sleep.
Ochocinco responded with a call-out:
Max Holloway, if you see this…
If you have any time during your break before your next fight, let’s spar.Let’s get some footage.
I just want to show Uncle Sharpe that I ain’t with the bullsh*t.Congratulations, but please.
And, even though Sharpe attempted to explain that there are levels to the game of MMA, Ochocinco remained undeterred:
Man, I’ll thump Max Holloway’s chin.
Don’t be playin’ me like that.I’m out the city. What you talking about?
I’m built for that.
Ochocinco thinks he could last multiple rounds with Holloway in an MMA fight 🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣 pic.twitter.com/nimIPQRYRy

Surprisingly enough, Ochocinco – renowned for his successful NFL career – is no stranger to combat sports.
Specifically, he has participated in a four-round exhibition boxing match against Brian Maxwell, on the Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul undercard in 2021.
