Despite having one of his better seasons, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Ocho Cinco is not satisfied with being just one of NFL’s premier receiver. He also wants to fight in the UFC?
Ocho, formally known as Johnson, has been harassing UFC owner Dana White via Twitter to sign him to a UFC fight with currently middleweight champion and pound-for-pound king Anderson Silva. Of course, Ocho would never stand a chance, he would want to do it for charity.
Via Twitter:

Awesome! I’m fighting Anderson Silva-I can’t wait to throw my child please combo with a kiss da baby leg kick, Silva can shut the front door!
White, not wanting to miss a potentially good marketing opportunity, responded to #85, adding fuel to the flame by agreeing to put together a fight for charity:
Perfect @OGOchoCinco. I need a Jan 2nd fight. Ocho Cinco vs Anderson Spider Silva. PS – I’m too old to fight anyone.
If you are really serious @OGOchoCinco, contact me. We’ll put a fight together for charity.
@OGOchoCinco Follow me so I can send you my email
Ocho Cinco who isn’t entirely new to combat sports has trained boxing for several years. So it’s possible he may be able to hold him own. However, against the current middleweight champion Silva… well that’s kind of a stretch. More so, it also appear less likely that Silva or any real middleweight would fight Ocho, who is listed at 6’1″ and 192 pounds.
