Johnny Manziel, the former NFL quarterback, will be making his MMA debut Saturday, May 23, against a man with far less marquee value.

But is the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner risking defeat and even embarrassment when he steps into the cage with Bob Menery for an amateur fight Saturday, May 23, at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas?

To which you might respond, “Who in the heck is Bob Menery?’’

He’s an influencer with 2.8 million followers on Instagram and did not instill fear during the weigh-in with Manziel.

Menery, 38, reportedly is no taller than 5-9 and weighs in at about 190 pounds. Manziel, 33, stands 6-0 and reportedly tipped the scales at about 205 pounds.

Menery might be more comfortable calling the fight than participating in it. He’s a sportscaster whose fame peaked when he called a game for the Salt Lake Screaming Eagles of the Indoor Football League. He produces comedic videos, too.

Dana White has inserted himself into the fight that is being promoted by influencer Adin Ross and will be held at the Apex Center in Las Vegas. White, CEO of the UFC, said he’d bet $10,000 that Menery wouldn’t show up.

But Menery arrived, leaving only the outcome in doubt.
