After a surprise retirement following a loss to then-heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier, Anthony ‘Rumble’ Johnson was constantly dogged with questions as to when — not if — he’d return to MMA.
And now, the wait is over. Only this time there’s a major surprise in this story. Rumble Johnson will be back in the light heavyweight ranks, only this time he’ll be doing so in a Bellator cage.
ESPN’s Ariel Helwani broke the news via Twitter this morning:
Anthony “Rumble” Johnson is headed to Bellator.
“Rumble” has agreed to terms with Bellator, per sources.
