Anthony Johnson faced a fair amount of scrutiny leading up to his UFC 191 bout with Jimi Manuwa.
Approximately two weeks before Saturday’s event, “Rumble” took to social media to direct a rant at a women from his gym who decided to stretch in an area where he was lifting weights. In addition to throwing her yoga mat across the gym, Johnson insulted her physical appearance in his Facebook tirade.
The altercation, as well as Johnson’s initial lack of remorse (he later issued an apology), was especially concerning considering his history of domestic violence allegations.
