MMA fighter Aaron \u201cTex\u201d Johnson made international headlines after he crashed out over luggage space before a Southwest flight could take off.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The former MMA fighter and three-time\u00a0 champ was filing onto the flight out of LaGuardia International Airport in New York. Johnson went off on a screaming and profanity-laced tirade on fellow passengers and the flight attendant regarding overhead bin space.\u00a0<\/p>\n



\nMMA fighter had a meltdown<\/p>\n

Laughably, Johnson shouted claims of <\/a>\u201cassault\u201d and \u201cabuse\u201d when crew members tried to deescalate the situation and restore order. He was a tornado of negative energy, therefore the head flight attendant<\/a> barked \u201cGet off my plane!\u201d at Johnson as fellow passengers erupted in applause.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Johnson was undeterred,<\/a> even squaring up on the flight attendant as if he was ready for a UFC fight and then dared a Black passenger to \u201cHit me!\u201d and calling him a \u201closer\u201d repeatedly.<\/p>\n



\nJohnson removed from his flight<\/p>\n

Exasperated, the flight crew called for first responders to come and snatch Johnson off the plane. Because he was not willing to go quietly, he had to be strapped down on hospital gurney and wheeled down of the jet bridge and through the airport.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Johnson said he was treated as if he was Black<\/p>\n

As he was being paraded through the airport, Johson then yelled, \u201cThis is bulls\u2013t! I\u2019m getting treated like a Black person right now,\u201d which caused an eruption of laughter from folks observing and recording the cartoon-ish scene.<\/p>\n

Because Johnson seemed to be having a nervous breakdown, he was transported to a local hospital where officers later gave him a summons to appear in court for disorderly conduct.<\/p>\n

Johnson remains unrepentant after his eruption<\/p>\n

Ironically, just two weeks ago, Johnson discussed how practicing Jiu Jitsu helped keep him level and gave him meaning to the pain and suffering in his life.<\/p>\n

Unapologetic and undeterred after humiliating himself, Johnson continued his manic tirade on social media after he was released. He took to Instagram to bark \u201cNobody moves nobody gets hurt\u201d and blamed the fracas over baggage space.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Southwest Airlines denounced Johnson for his \u201cunruly and belligerent\u201d behaivor and has subsequently banned Johnson from flying with them again.<\/p>\n

This far from the first time that Johnson has gone nuclear. He was reportedly booted from one training camp for unruly behavior in 2018 and had an in-match eruption that made national headlines in 2019.<\/p>\n

Johnson\u2019s descent into madness on the Southwest plane was captured on video and has garnered millions views. The other passengers were probably thankful that the emotional explosion didn\u2019t wait to happen at 30,000 feet.<\/p>\n

Fans crack up over the ridiculous scene<\/p>\n

Folks digested Johnson\u2019s truculent verbal firebombing on video with a mixture of awe, hilarity and disgust or a combination of the three.<\/p>\n

\u201cBro turned the airport into an HBO special,\u201d said one fan said on X, while a second added \u201cNot wait. I know it\u2019s not at Denny\u2019s but it looks close enough fights will be legendary <\/p>\n

A third user said quizzically, \u201cWait\u2026 he really said THAT out loud in public? This is unreal,\u201d while a fourth respondent opined, \u201cthe fact that black people were laughing makes this okay.\u201d<\/p>\n

Two others were perplexed that Johnson flashed the race card while being wheeled down the airport. \u201cOh not the race card isn\u2019t it 2025,\u201d said one person, while a second contributed, \u201clol this is wild. bro really pulled the race card on a stretcher.\u201d<\/p>\n

One pointed to lack of parental guidance. \u201cParents gotta start giving there children more attention so they don\u2019t end up like this,\u201d surmised a user.\u00a0<\/p>\n
