Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) light heavyweight contender, Anthony Johnson, retired from mixed martial arts (MMA) last Saturday night (April 8, 2017) following his submission loss to Daniel Cormier at UFC 210.
Not that Johnson is no longer making hay while the sun shines in combat sports, the athlete formerly known as “Rumble” — thanks to 16 knockouts in 22 wins — will know simply be known as Anthony or “AJ.”
Johnson finishes his combat sports career with a 22-6 record and unfortunately, was never able to throw hands with Jon Jones, despite a pairing at UFC 187 that ultimately went to Cormier (because of this).
At age 33, there is still a solid chance Johnson will get the itch to return, especially if Cormier retires (or succumbs to “Bones” for the second time) and the division begins to open up.
