One of the hardest hitters in UFC history is angling for a return to the Octagon. Anthony Johnson (22-6, 12-6 UFC), who twice challenged for the UFC light heavyweight title, has been out of the cage since April 2017 but believes that he could step back in as early as April 2020.
He stated as much at a Dominance MMA press event today (via Marc Raimondi of ESPN):

He will clearly be returning as a heavyweight this time around, as Rumble has stated in the past that he’s around 240-245 pounds.
