Former NFL stars Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson and James Harrison will fight in an exhibition mixed martial arts (MMA) bout in New Orleans next year, the pair announced on social media Wednesday.

Johnson first announced the news of the fight – set to take place ahead of Super Bowl LIX – writing on X, formerly known as Twitter: “I’m so excited.”

The length of the fight seems to be a point of contention, though. Johnson first said it was a three-round bout before Harrison said it would actually last five rounds.

The pair have already been exchanging barbs, with Johnson telling Harrison: “I’m gone beat yo a** in round 1 so don’t worry about the other 4. I’m standing on business.”

Former Pittsburgh Steeler Harrison replied: “You not go be able to stand once I get done with you.”
