Anthony Johnson competed in three divisions for the UFC, so he’s as qualified as anyone to assess its roster even after joining a promotional rival.
Across two separate stints with the UFC from 2007-2012 and 2014-2017, Johnson signed on for fights at 170 pounds, 185 pounds, and 205 pounds (the middleweight bout with Vitor Belfort was a one-off that Johnson actually missed weight for by 11 pounds, a UFC record up until this past Saturday when Rafael Alves came in 11.5 pounds heavy for a featherweight bout). Johnson was a budding contender at welterweight before issues with making the 170-pound limit eventually forced a move to the light heavyweight division, where he twice competed for a UFC championship.
