Johnnie Morton’s Post-NFL Career Isn’t Going Well
After their playing days are over, most football players turn to a less violent occupation, such as game commentator, studio analyst, or AFL team owner.
Not former wide receiver Johnnie Morton. For him, Mixed Martial Arts was too strong a calling. So this weekend he took on Bernard Ackah in the L.A. Memorial Colosseum for his first (and quite possibly last) MMA bout.
Feel free to skip to the 3:20 mark if you just want to view the kill shot…
Now THAT is a knockout! If you play it back in super slow-mo, you can even here the Mortal Kombat dude go “Finish Him!”
Somewhere in a bunker in Detroit, you know Matt Millen is smiling.
If that wasn’t embarrassing enough for Morton, after the fight he was promptly suspended from the sport for refusing to take the post fight drug test. Frankly, I would have taken enough sedatives to knock out an elephant if I got hit like that, so I don’t blame him.
One last comment regarding the fans at this thing - Thundersticks? At a MMA fight? Man, someone needs to ban those things permanently…
Thanks to Deuce of Davenport for the link.
