Just when you think former Texas A&M quarterback and 2012 Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel has done every possible post-career, fame-grabbing thing he could, he zags on us, just like he did when he was lighting up the scoreboard for the Aggies.
The latest example? Manziel’s MMA debut on Saturday night in Las Vegas, where he defeated social media influencer Bob Menery with a 1st round TKO.
“Former NFL quarterback Johnny Manziel appears to have found his new calling in a different sport,” Bleacher Report’s Doric Sam wrote. “Manziel made his MMA debut on Saturday night at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and defeated social media influencer Bob Menery by first-round TKO. The 2012 Heisman Trophy winner landed some kicks to the body and scored a takedown before moving to full mount and landing some hard strikes before the referee stepped in with 44 seconds remaining in the opening round.”
That’s a generous re-telling of a fight in which you can make an argument that no hard strikes were landed on either side, and the most exciting thing that happened was when Manziel took a wild swing at Menery and almost fell to the canvas.
