In the history of MMA, perhaps no fighter has been as maligned in the weight-cutting process as Anthony Johnson.
When the former UFC welterweight had problems hitting 170, he went up to 185 and everyone assumed it would be smooth sailing. But when he couldn’t hit the mark there, either, he found himself on the receiving end of a pink slip.
But now, “Rumble” will start a new chapter in his career as a light heavyweight – a move his manager, Glenn Robinson of Authentic Sports Management, believes is going to work out quite well.
