Source: www.sportsnet.ca/mma/2009/11/12/ochocinco_mma_silva/Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco is poised to become a two-sport athlete: professional football player and mixed martial artist. Using his favourite social networking site, Ochocinco 'tweeted' UFC president Dana White with a proposal to fight middleweight champion Anderson Silva. All proceeds from the exhibition fight would be donated to a charity of choice. From @ogochocinco: Dana this Ocho Cinco, I want to fight your #1 and #2 best fighters asap, exhibition to raise money for a charity of choice!!!!!! matter of fact I want Anderson Spider Silva---please don't ignore me or you'll have to fight me yourself!!! Sincerely Esteban White replied via Twitter with this: Perfect @ogochocinco. I need a Jan 2nd fight. Ocho Cinco vs Anderson Spider Silva. PS - I'm too old to fight anyone. If you are really serious @ogochocinco, contact me. We'll put a fight together for charity.@ Follow me so I can send you my email It is highly unlikely that White would put one of the UFC's top fighters in an exhibition bout, but fellow NFL stars Herschel Walker recently signed with the UFC rival Strikeforce and Washington Redskins wide receiver Michael Westbrook owns a black belt in jiu-jitsu. Silva recently defeated Forrest Griffin at UFC 101, but Ochocinco has his own special plan of attack for the Brazilian: From @ogochocinco: I have a good chance at winning against SilvaAwesome! I'm fighting Anderson Silva-I can't wait to throw my child please combo with a kiss da baby leg kick, Silva can shut the front door! ---------- I think this is the one challenge that he can't win.
