UFC's Anthony 'Rumble' Johnson Dead at 38

Several prominent figures in the MMA community say that Anthony "Rumble" Johnson has passed away.

The former UFC fighter died this weekend after a long battle with a disease. The rest of the details surrounding his death have not been made public.

Michael Chiesa wrote a post for the people who died. Anthony "rumble" Johnson died. Our sport has never seen an artist like this before. I am praying for his family and everyone affected by this tragedy.

The news seems to have shocked everyone, as the guy has been out of the public eye for a while.

Daniel Cormier faced Rumble in the UFC a few times and he remembered it well. He wishes his brother well. Anthony Johnson was a person who cared for others. To check ins during a loss. He will be missed. Life doesn't seem fair sometimes. The news is terrible.

DC is referring to the fact that Rumble was known for his strength and force, which resulted in brutal knockouts that he would often put on display in his prime. He had a reputation for trying to prove that one good punch could put a guy to sleep.

His record was amazing in the past. 17 of the 23 victories were by knockouts. He lost six times. He competed in several UFC events, but never won a title. He was the number one in his weight class before he retired. He joined Bellator MMA in 2020 after leaving the UFC.

In the latter classes, he was the most successful.

The man was 38.

I am sad.
