Ladies And Gentlemen, Football Great Johnnie Morton

Johnnie Morton spent most of his NFL career with the Detroit Lions. His MMA debut puts him on roughly the same career arc.

In 38 seconds, he was knocked cold by a former stand-up comedian. I don't mean to make fun, I'm sure he can rebound from this and go on to whip much ass. But after a career spent with the Lions, feuding with Jay Leno, and having Matt Millen call him a "faggot" ... I was hoping to see Johnnie have a little better luck with MMA.
