Former Steelers legend faces Chad Johnson in MMA fight

When he played and since his retirement, there were few NFL players as strong and aggressive as former Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison. Even years after his retirement, his feats of strength are legendary.

So count us in as surprises when former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson announced on social media that he and Harrison will face off in a five-round MMA fight before the Super Bowl in New Orleans.

The two talked back and forth about the fight on social media, which leads us to believe that this could actually happen and that it's not just talk.

We're really worried about Johnson if this fight actually happens. We don't know exactly how much either guy weighs at this time, but Harrison weighed around 250 pounds at around 6'3″ tall. Johnson, on the other hand, is about 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighs about 190 pounds. This could get very ugly very quickly.
