Chad Johnson Jokes He's 'Ready' for UFC's Conor McGregor After Brian Maxwell Fight

Having gotten his first taste of combat sports, former NFL star Chad Johnson is ready for more.

Johnson fought Brian Maxwell to a stalemate in their four-round exhibition Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium. After the bout, the six-time Pro Bowler joked he's already looking ahead to his next challenge.

"I don't box. I'm a little sloppy," he said. "It was fun...I think I'm ready for [Conor] McGregor."

Johnson's inexperience was laid bare in the fourth round when he left himself open to a right hand from Maxwell.

Making another foray into combat sports would seem to be ill-advised for the 43-year-old. 

But this is the same person who once raced against a horse, so his next move from here is anybody's guess.
