Anthony Johnson's apparently incendiary encounter with a woman at the gym is under investigation.
The UFC released a statement regarding the incident and Johnson's subsequent angry Facebook rant Wednesday night. An investigation by a third-party law firm will commence, the statement read.
On Tuesday, Johnson wrote on Facebook that he threw the yoga mat of a woman who was attempting to stretch on it near where people were weightlifting at his gym. "Rumble" referred to the woman as "ugly," in addition to other insults, in the post.
