Anthony Johnson: If I decide to come back one day, Jon Jones and I can fight at heavyweight

UFC 210 was a deja vu moment for Anthony Johnson, who was finished by the exact same method by Daniel Cormier. After the fight, “Rumble” surprisingly announced his retirement from the sport at 33 years of age.

Many, including Cormier, believe that Johnson is still in his prime and could still match up well with the top fighters in the division. But one fight that most fans wanted to see was between Johnson and former long-time 205-pound champion Jon Jones.

During his Octagon interview with Joe Rogan, Rumble spoke to Jones who was sitting at ringside, saying that a fight between them could happen in the next life.
