Anthony Johnson retired from mixed martial arts in 2017, shortly after losing his light heavyweight title bout against then champion, Daniel Cormier. “Rumble” teased a heavyweight return in 2019, which didn’t pan out, and now reports are again coming out about a possible comeback.
According to ESPN’s Brett Okamoto, Johnson’s manager states that the return is supposedly going to be as a light heavyweight, with the former two-time title challenger reportedly re-entering the USADA training pool this week.
News of Rumble’s comeback in 2019 had him looking pretty massive, but he now looks noticeably slimmer.
