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.
