With the NFL moving towards a potential lockout, many players are busy scheming up alternative ways to make money. Times are tough in the 2011 economy, but there’s got to be a better option than that of Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson, who continues to suggest he’d be willing to face UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva in the octagon.

Now, before we get too serious about the admittedly unlikely proposition, let’s keep in mind that Johnson routinely name-dropping the man who is arguably the sport’s pound-for-pound king isn’t exactly a bad thing.

Johnson spoke about Silva again on Sunday, while in Orlando for an ESPN event.

“I’ll whoop his ass,” Johnson said. “I’ll whip Anderson’s ass.”
