Anthony ‘Rumble’ Johnson updates comeback plans, plotting return to USADA testing pool

Anthony “Rumble” Johnson is still plotting his return to the UFC, but it appears his first fight won’t happen until at least the latter part of 2020.

The former light heavyweight title contender announced last year that he intended to end his retirement and comeback to action but there’s still been no date booked for his first fight since falling to Daniel Cormier in 2017.

According to Johnson, his plan to fight again remains the same and he’s open to fights at either heavyweight or light heavyweight once he’s active again. Right now, the 36-year-old veteran says he’s walking around at just over 230 pounds.
