Anthony “Rumble” Johnson has agreed to terms with Bellator MMA.

The 36-year-old is a former two-time UFC light heavyweight champion challenger. Johnson has not competed since his loss to Daniel Cormier in a title rematch at UFC 210. That match was in 2017, and then two years later, he announced his comeback.

However, he has not made any attempt to make it real. Johnson has not entered the USADA testing pool to start his mandatory six months of consistent clean testing. He has to do that first so he will be cleared to return.

He had recently parted ways with UFC and then joined the Bellator MMA. He is expected to fight next year for the promotion. Johnson will be expected to join as a light heavyweight, a division where he had seen success. He is thought to be a title contender to the current Bellator light heavyweight champion Ryan Bader.

Johnson has a record of 22 wins and just six losses. He has successes in the UFC, where he debuted and became a deadly opponent capable of devastating knockouts.

A much-anticipated UFC light heavyweight title rematch has been scheduled.

Daniel Cormier Vs. Anthony Johnson Rematch Set For UFC 206 In Toronto

Champion Daniel Cormier will defend his title against Anthony “Rumble” Johnson at UFC 206 at Toronto’s Air Canada Centre on Dec. 10. The fight was announced on Wednesday’s edition of the FS1 program UFC Tonight.

The bout is a rematch of UFC 187’s main event. In that 2015 fight in Las Vegas, Cormier defeated Johnson in the third round by rear-naked choke to capture the title vacated when Jon Jones was suspended by the UFC following his arrest on hit-and-run charges in New Mexico.

Cormier (18-1) has since won a split decision over Alexander Gustafsson at UFC 192 and a unanimous decision in a non-title match against Anderson Silva at UFC 200. Silva was a late replacement for Jones, who was pulled from the fight during that week due to a potential USADA (drug) violation.

Johnson (22-5), meanwhile, has had a fantastic run himself, with 12 wins in 13 fights since improving to light heavyweight back in 2012. His loss to Cormier is his only stain during that stretch. Since that defeat, Johnson is 3-0, all via knockout, and his most recent victory comes over Glover Teixeira in 13 seconds at UFC 202.

“The city of Toronto is still buzzing after the Blue Jays’ walk-off home run last night,” Cormier said. “The only thing more exciting than that is that I am defending the undisputed UFC light heavyweight title in the Six on December 10 at UFC 206, only on pay-per-view. Down will go Rumble … again.”
