Anthony “Rumble” Johnson is returning to the UFC but this time he’s fighting at heavyweight where he hopes to serve as the new boogieman for the division.
It was just over two years ago when the ferocious knockout artist retired from the sport following a loss to Daniel Cormier at UFC 210. Since that time, Johnson has gotten involved in several businesses, and even worked as an ambassador for Bare Knuckle Fighting Championships, but he recently decided to end his retirement while declaring his intention to return to the Octagon.
Johnson actually credits a recent heavyweight title fight as the ultimate motivation to get him back in action with plans to return to fighting early next year.
