Johnny Manziel won the Heisman Trophy at Texas A&M, was a first-round draft pick by the Cleveland Browns, and can now consider himself 1-0 in the sport of mixed martial arts.
The former NFL quarterback was part of Brand Risk Promotions’ co-main event and faced off against sports media influencer Bob Menery. Both men really didn’t have much in-ring skill when it came to their MMA skills.

Manziel started with a knee attempt and then went on the attack, hitting Menery with multiple kicks to the back and abdomen. Manziel tried to deliver the finishing blow with a huge right hand, but missed and slipped.
Ménery tried to capitalize but missed with a punch. Manziel took him down and sat on Menery’s upper chest, hitting him with hammer blows. The referee saw enough and stopped the fight while the announcers laughed during the fight. The fight was stopped with 44 seconds left in the first round.

“Holy shit. I retired 0-1. I kept fighting. I tried,” he wrote on his Instagram Stories. “He was 30 pounds heavier than me. But he hit me. I told them it made sense (Johnny Manziel) to do it.”
Manziel responded: “We both fought like shit, Bobby Boy. Respect for going in there though. I was trying to write OVO on your forehead.”
