Anthony “Rumble” Johnson is finally ready to make his return to the UFC but his comeback is happening despite his greater instinct about fighters who don’t know when to walk away.
The former title contender actually retired back in 2017 after suffering a second-round submission loss to Daniel Cormier in his bid to become light heavyweight champion. Afterwards, Johnson kept his focus away from fighting outside of an ambassador role he took on with the fledgling promotion at Bare Knuckle Fighting Championships.
But as time passed, Johnson started to feel the desire to compete again and he made his intentions clear that he intended to return to fighting.
