‘He’s not doing well’ - Manager asks for prayers for MMA star Anthony ‘Rumble’ Johnson

In 2021, Anthony Johnson was forced out of his Bellator 268 fight due to an undisclosed illness, saying he’s “never been this afraid of anything” in his life. Back then, he posted a statement, with “Rumble” noting how his non-covid health issue is making him “dig deeper than I ever have before.”

The 38-year-old former UFC title challenger seemed to have recovered early this year, but at least based on his physique, you can tell that the illness took a huge toll on him.

Now, it seems like he’s once again in deep waters, health-wise.
