Johnson made his mark on the court, getting ejected for a forearm to the upper body of Thunder's Dillon Jones.
Johnson is known for his non-basketball MMA skills and is definitely someone players don't want to mess with.
Johnson received cheers from the fans as a fan favorite when entering the game, but his time on the court was short-lived.
The Pacers return to action Sunday night, as they battle OKC in the first Game 7 since 2016.
