Titan FC 24: Anthony ‘Rumble’ Johnson Dominates In First Appearance At 205-Lbs

For years fans and critics have been calling for former UFC vet Anthony ‘Rumble’ Johnson (12-4) to move up in weight class, after failing to make weight for a number of welterweight matches. Eventually the failure to make weight was the catalyst for him being removed from the UFC, along with a loss to Vitor Belfort last January in Brazil.
On Friday night (Aug. 24), Johnson made his light heavyweight debut with the Titan Fighting Championship promotion against KOTC veteran Esteves Jones (8-4). ‘Rumble’ dominated the match with Jones, landing some heavy kicks and dominating from top position in both rounds of the fight before ending things at 0:51 of the second via TKO. Despite the boos of the fans, it was a typical Johnson fight with him mauling his opponent from top.
