Ryan Bader's coach Aaron Simpson says it's 'evident' Anthony Johnson is mentally weak

Anthony Johnson is mentally weak and breakable. That's what Ryan Bader's coach Aaron Simpson believes.

Simpson, who had an 11-fight career with the UFC and now coaches at Power MMA, appeared on Monday's edition of The MMA Hour where he discussed Bader's upcoming fight against Johnson at this Saturday's UFC on Fox 18.

As a former assistant wrestling coach at Arizona State University, Simpson says Johnson's mental weakness was evident through out his junior college wrestling career and even Johnson's wrestling coaches informed him of it when Simpson was looking to recruit new wrestlers.
