Anthony “Rumble” Johnson was the No. 1 division contender during his light heavyweight tenure with the UFC.
After losing a title shot against Daniel Cormier earlier this year, “Rumble” unexpectedly announced his retirement from the sport. That being said, manager Ali Abdelaziz recently revealed that Anthony Johnson will soon be meeting with UFC officials to discuss a possible return to the octagon. That being said, “Rumble” wants to return as a heavyweight.
Now “Rumble” has been spotted in Vegas.
Since Abdelaziz’s announcement, it would appear that “Rumble” has met with UFC officials and has discussed his future with the promotion.
MMA reporter Ariel Helwani recently took to Twitter to report and a photo of the massive soon to be heavyweight:
“Just saw Anthony Johnson. He said he weighs 250 pounds. Looks very happy and healthy. Said he met with UFC brass this week. No deal in place for him to return. If he does he said it would be at heavyweight. No more 205. He’s out of USADA so needs 6 mths of testing if he returns.”

Rumble Johnson would join the likes of Stipe Miocic, Fabricio Werdum, and Francis Ngannou, should he return and make the jump up.
Thoughts?
