Aaron “Tex” Johnson Melts Down Over Overhead Bin
*If you thought middle seats were the worst part of flying, Aaron “Tex” Johnson just raised the bar. The former MMA fighter and three-time No-Gi champ made headlines after being forcibly removed from a Southwest Airlines flight at LaGuardia Airport on Monday (07-21-25).
The trigger? A classic fight over overhead bin space. And let’s just say Tex didn’t tap out quietly. Witnesses say he exploded into a profanity-filled rant, claiming “assault” and “abuse” when crew members dared to… do their jobs.
“Get Off My Plane!”—Flight Attendant Goes Full Harrison Ford
Video footage shows a clearly unimpressed female flight attendant barking “Get off my plane!” while Johnson, visibly unhinged, squared up like it was UFC Fight Night. Fellow passengers erupted in cheers, proving once and for all that the only chokehold anyone wants on a flight is silence.
As the crew tried to restore peace, Johnson doubled down, challenging a Black passenger to “Hit me!” before calling him a “loser.” He was eventually escorted off the plane, but not before continuing his shout-fest down the jet bridge like it was the walkout for a title bout.

Jet Bridge Showdown Ends With Stretcher Exit
Once outside, Johnson’s tantrum reached its final form—being restrained on a stretcher while screaming to anyone who’d listen. Among his last words before being carted off: “This is bulls***… I’m getting treated like a black person right now.”
That comment, as you can imagine, did *not* go over well. Social media lit up with outrage, think pieces, memes, and a lot of “who even is this guy?” curiosity. Johnson was taken to a local hospital and slapped with a summons for disorderly conduct.
Tex Responds With Cryptic Tattoos and Zero Apologies
Instead of an apology tour, Johnson hit Instagram with motivational quotes and a photo of his hand tattoo reading: “Nobody moves nobody gets hurt.” Inspirational stuff—if you’re trying out for a straight-to-DVD prison movie.
He claimed the entire ordeal started over a “bag situation” (as if that explains anything), but offered no remorse, clarification, or logic. Southwest Airlines said the behavior was “belligerent and unruly” and promptly banned him. Because, duh.
Aaron Johnson’s History of Aggro Moments
This isn’t Tex’s first time causing chaos. Back in 2019, he had an in-match altercation that made headlines. In 2018, he was booted from a training camp for—you guessed it—aggression issues. The man treats boundaries the way toddlers treat nap time: with violent resistance.
His MMA record stands at 13-10-1, but it looks like his streak of public Ls is growing faster than his win column. Maybe it’s time to tap out of public spaces altogether.
Why the Internet Can’t Stop Talking About It
The video of Tex’s meltdown has racked up millions of views, sparking debates on everything from racial double standards to why airlines don’t just assign overhead bins like they do seats.
Between the insults, public meltdown, and oddly quiet post-freakout vibe, Johnson’s latest headline reads more like a reality TV rejection than a redemption arc. So far, the only thing he’s flying is off the handle.
