The NFL wide receiver is at it again, this time he challenges TUF finalist(and heavyweight) Brendan Schaub via his twitter account. Check it:
-@BrendanSchaub this is not a joke son, i will ring your neck, we can fight before the season starts, i hope you got health insurance!!!
Of course Brendan Schaub responds:
- hope your refering to a video game lol your not serious RT @OGOchoCinco @BrendanSchaub i will whoop your ass!!!!!
-@OGOchoCinco lol I like the confidence. .but if we did it before the season don't worry about playing this year..u would get hurt homie
-@OGOchoCinco well after my fight in March..lets see what's up..u realize I'm a heavyweight. .maybe your confused..u want Gina corano
Of course this fight will NEVER happen, but it's funny just how much attention that Johnson craves on twitter. He talks about EVERYTHING, well everything except football. At least a high profile athlete knows who Brendan Schaub is though, I guess that's a positive since Schaub is relatively new to the scene.

So is this the trend for those
at, or coming to, the end of their sports careers: using MMA as a means to gaining media attention? This moron Johnson changing his name isn’t giving him th attention every high-school cheerleader desires?

I would love to see this happen
I rember earlier this yr chad wanted to do a chairty match, and Dana white said to call him if he is serious. That would cetainly draw many eyes to the sport. Especially if it is in the ufc, and both of the guys are young and in shape Unlike Walker and conseco, but I wouldnt mind seeing that one also.,Hell I will watch any mma fight . Well almost any fight.
Chad is a trip. You gotta love that dude. But on the, if still trying that charity event, I say do boxing match with Dana since both of them box. Lol

i like ochocinco.
he did a pti or that early show on espn that talks about sports and he was funny and entertaining. don’t know if he can fight but the guy definitley is hustling for his own reality show.

![From MMAJunkie.com:
Strikeforce heavyweight and former NFL great Herschel Walker (1-0 MMA, 1-0 SF) suffered a deep cut in training and has been forced to withdraw from next month's "Strikeforce: Henderson vs. Babalu" event.
Strikeforce officials today confirmed the change with MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).
Featuring a light heavyweight matchup between Dan Henderson and Renato "Babalu" Sobral, "Strikeforce: Henderson vs. Babalu" takes place Dec. 4 and airs on Showtime.
"I feel terrible about this," Walker stated in today's official release. "I know things like this happen in all sports, but I had trained very hard and was excited to be returning to the cage again."
Walker had been expected to face one-time WEC veteran Scott Carson (4-1 MMA, 0-0 SF).
According to Strikeforce officials, a Daniel Cormier knee strike opened a "deep cut under [Walker's] left eye that required multiple stitches"...
Despite the setback, Walker said he hopes to return to action quickly.
"I hope to fight again as soon as the cut heals," Walker said.](http://cdn3.sbnation.com/fan_shot_images/161814/herschel-walker-2_small.jpg)
