FIGHTER DIARY: ANTHONY JOHNSON

[amal2345]

this guy starred in the movie warrior ryt ? Downright awesome fighter \m/

[VaiDarMerdaVlog]

Ola catinha ? dude, learn portuguese, is Olá Gatinha .

[WOWskarphace]

sucks that he was a legit contender and he got beat by his weight

[macryan19]

This guy is such a bitch. It shows your true character and colors when you have to cut all that weight to be the bigger man. Fuckin pussy

[bicgansta187]

try practicin jitz instead of stand up

[MoneyComesEZ]

dude's prolly having nightmares about weight cutting and rear naked chokes

[BarkavaGio]

He was owned by Belfort, but anyways he is damn big! I wonder how he fought as welterweight all the time lol =)))) if person cuts 30 pounds it's very dangerous, I think he cut 45 pounds or more, he's damn heavyweight xD

[ErOhan1990]

this motherfucker is bigger then Rashad why the fuck isn't he fighting at LHW ??

[TheSweatyfatguy]

@ErOhan1990 well he was 211 during his fight with belfort...

[Punishment314]

How could rumble fuck up his weight that badly?? Its his own fault he got cut but I do hope to see him back in the ufc one day.

[sensfan10000]

Johnson shouldnt be joking around so much during jiu jitsu he could learn a thing or two

[djkhaled412]

Unfournately you had to fight Vitor!!!

[PensOfDoom]

Rumble disappointed me. But I am sure he is more disappointed in himself. However, I believe he will be back. Maybe just maybe he should consider 205.

[suzanapsi]

Coloquem legendas em português nos vídeos!

[scrawl11]

bye bye

[ufcfanJONES]

this is the ufc's 1000th video

[nogblackops]

How the fuck is this guy 185 lbs ?

[jgottifouronezero]

DANA Should get fired are u fucking joking!!! Im a AJ FAN but he looked fat as hell and he still cant defend a rearnakedchoke!! man Im not glad ufc cut him but what kind of message does him missing weight send to all the other fighter who made it!

[guywhosfly]

What a disgrace to fighters everywhere. Put him at 205 he'll still weigh in at 210. Cut his ass for good!

[sirjohnrambo]

fatty LOL

[Rikishade1]

wow dana...your such an ass, dana should get fired

[DonWon313]

UFC cut him hes done

[droneinfinite]

F-kin anthony johnson.... still can't defend against the rear naked choke

[ruushmore]

this nigga dont ever make weight

[mmaboxingfan2]

Johnson made 204lbs which isnt a big different with vitor now maybe like 5-15 he will weigh more than vitor. The thing is even if johnson would of made 186lbs he would of smashed vitor. I dont even see how you guys are giving vitor a chance just because the ufc puts vitor in there and hes fighting in his hometown all of a sudden hes good. Johnson will win this I will bet on it. Its like when people actually thought lyoto would beat jon jones. If the ufc hypes a fighter all of a sudden hes good.

[88naka]

@mmaboxingfan2 He weight 211 in the morning of the fight , prob 220-225 at the fight. Total unprofessional bullshit.

[uncleavi2002]

@88naka It will give him something to think about when he washes dishes at Bob Evans or the Cracker Barrel.

[jawsh38]

@mmaboxingfan2 Johnson will win? Swallow those words like you swallow cum.

[haueb]

I wanna see that spinning backkick from the guard!

[19bootsy68]

Anthony Johnson....Mike Dolce has asked me to tell you to phone him after Vitor beats you.

[caban2007]

no way rumble is getting through belfort. good luck on that one

[Arcturistheballer]

lol guy weighs in at 197 for a 185 fight and it is his first fight since he moved up from 170... jesus...

[marvo75]

Rumble is out chasing pussy kickin it like he doesnt have a fight coming up...look what it got him...over weight...Money cut, respect LOST...dude needs to undertand how luck he is ....But he doesnt....

[Honestabe86]

At 2:43 he looks worried about the up coming weight cut.

[bra187]

Anthony Johnson's is such a fuckin retard. Can't wait till Vitor pops his big head or knocks it off hahaa

[mmaboxingfan2]

now anthony johnson is screwed if dana lets anthony stay in the ufc he will have to fight at 185lbs or higher no more 170 for rumble. Also if anthony gets cut he wont go to strikeforce. People that get cut from the ufc dont go into strikeforce there both the same company basically.

[mmaboxingfan2]

If johnson is fighting at 185lbs then he should stay around there so he doesnt deplete his body. He always screws himself and blows up. He was dehydrated and this wouldnt happen if he wasnt 40lbs over and trying to lose 10lbs in one night.

[BabaAmbessa]

@mmaboxingfan2 right on point! I agree with everything you said..i actually feel sorry for him..surprised his coaches don't play a bigger part

[rampage225]

"but its part of the job"......SO IS MAKING WEIGHT!!

[GnarlyCharlie2000]

Damn Anthony Johnson looks like a freakin Light Heavyweight.... He should probably move up to 205. I had no idea he was so huge.

[goochsurfer]

LMAO!!! LOOK AT THE SIZE OF HIM! He had to have known he couldn't have made middleweight! Jesus christ, johnson seems like a good guy, but coming in this much over weight makes him seem like an asshole, just move up to light heavyweight for shit sakes.

[tog4u]

Anthony Johnson used to make weight,, then he took an arrow to the knee

[cothor]

Anthony is fucking huge, jesus christ. I hope he doesn't get cut for this. If he doesn't, Dana will make him go to 205 for sure.

[buffbeenstuffed]

i swear i saw tyrone spong right at the end

[cothor]

@buffbeenstuffed That is indeed Tyrone Sponge. They have been training together extensivley for this fight.

[mmaboxingfan2]

I changed my mind make anthony johnson fight at heavyweight so this will not happen again. Him weighing in at 197lbs he wont make the 205lb mark lol. If he misses weight for heavyweight then cut him.

[mmaboxingfan2]

anthony johnson will have too move up to light heavyweight.

[JBerbs89]

197 lbs!? Did you even try to make weight? Jesus man.

[mmaboxingfan2]

What in hell anthony johnson weighed in at 197lbs lol damn I was right here he was walking around 240lbs.

[crocop4life]

i can tell by his attitude that he don't like bjj but too focused on the standup, which is vitor bread and butter. bjj or wrestling is vitor weakness.

[DC180]

Belfort... this is your test since that kick in the face.. I don't think there will be a clean sweep with all d Brazil fighters. There will be at least one upset... and I think this is the one! Rumble Rumble!

[NikevsJordansxD]

will it be the Brazilian or will it be the BLACKZILIAN !

[mokreem]

Damn... Rumble looks bigger than Rashad

[BabaAmbessa]

@mokreem he is actually bigger,... reach, height and weight wise.

[denshaotoko89]

@mokreem guy is a HW. bigger and jon jones

[floylde]

@mokreem he's 3 pound lighter man (202 lbs).

[ashleyte]

@mokreem that's cos he is ! lol

[leftyking500]

@BeyondRelativity

:-)

[bigbuzin555]

Am I the only one who noticed Rashad's swollen eye?

[rcannova0415]

Blackzilians are the greatest group of fighters...All Gentleman all great fighters....Anthony Johnson happens to be one of the nicest guys around....He also is a BEAST! It is a pleasure when the Blackzilians train here at Imperial...they are a real inspiration to the Kids here as well as all the fans! Vitor is a legend in the sport...It is always tough to call a fight....But Anthony will win this fight! GO BLACKZILIANS!

[jimmicrackhead12]

if this cunt is so hard, why didnt he stand with dan hardy? Hes was scared of a guy half his size, so belfort is gonna lift him of the ground

[fighter655]

Antonio Bigfoot Silva to the left at 2:14.

[TreyMMA]

@fighter655 Rumble is bigger than Bigfoot too.

[egial10]

@fighter655 you mean Antonio Bighead Silva!

[FitnessMC]

@BeyondRelativity That's weird, I know a guy who is 6'3 and weighs 125 pounds. You're definitely not a skinny kid. And it's definitely possible to weigh 170 at that height.

[amadejan]

his biger then evans

[bigbuzin555]

@amadejan Doubt it. He looks bigger, but have you seen Rashads legs?

[amadejan]

@BeyondRelativity now is over 200ibs

[amadejan]

daaaaam hiiiis biiiiig!!!!

[pimpbranmuffin]

He's the one to beat JBJ

[Gezowen369]

It`s about time he embrassed his natural weight! he is going to be a beast!

[rfinaldi]

Johnson humility is overwhelming !  LOL ;)

[1111itachi]

@BeyondRelativity he is lean as fuck that's why

[rosebudd60]

yo he's huge lmao

[BASABASA4747]

@BeyondRelativity in this vid he probably weighs around 200 lbs

[rick187053]

Blackzilians!!!!

[AzNYuTube]

top comment: dude you 6'1...185 lbs...you MIGHT look skinny to yourself..but to me you freaking huge.

[Dannynorw]

vitors gonna kick this punk ass's bitch

[Saebelzahnhamster]

His BJJ doesn´t look to good..

[TheLynch24mma]

BIG FOOT..2:15

[MrFza]

he fights 185 now...

[H1Cypher]

Lol tape of him practicing arm bars. Wtf like he's actually gonna risk being on bottom if he can't pull it off. Which he can't. Anthony Johnson won't go for an armbar in his entire MMA career, book it. Let's see what you really been training for.... striking and wrestlefucking.

[dirtyminded604]

@H1Cypher It's not wether he will go for an armbar or not, he has to know how to execute one though, as you said "you have to be proficient at many things not just 1!"

[H1Cypher]

@BeyondRelativity Most of your weight is water. Don't be mad. Be like water.... you put water into a cup it becomes the cup.

[SHITBRICKS2]

@BeyondRelativity he cut his third leg off

[TheManofgolf68]

LMFAO lets go Rumble!

[KrnSniper01]

That's a great training camp.

[mmafan130]

Have any of you all seen him next to GSP? This is one big mothafucka.

[AJROSS80]

Rumble is a BEAST, that head kick he landed on Brenneman almost knocked his head clean off. I'm a fan of both Vitor and Rumble, I'm not sure how this one's going to go down, Vitor can be a slow starter at times and Johnson is all about pressure but his aggressiveness could work against him against Vitor. Should be a great fight!

[theirishmaniac08]

@BeyondRelativity funny I'm also 6'1 quite skinny and yet im only 155 lbs

[TheAjdam]

I wonder if johson has been training with steven segal?

[leftyking500]

@BeyondRelativity

He makes a living of it and you don't...he trains his arse off everyday whilst you push buttons on a keyboard.....there's your answer and you're welcome

[rafaeocara]

Check on the intensity of Belfort x this guy...Victor is in another league, I am really sorry for him, hope it ends fast!

[KillSpreeGaming]

@DeiTy4GuiTar -_____________- , I just responded to someone asking how he's so big for 170, by saying he fights at 185 now ... which clearly means I'm aware he used to fight at 170 .... derp

[jeremyshambles]

@BeyondRelativity a lot has to do with where your fat is located, i skateboard 4 times a week, and have the same dimensions as you, 6'1 about 173, but all that cardio from skating and a relatively lean vegetarian diet combined with 3 days of strength training and stretching will make a considerable difference in one's appearance. cheers

[vidukas111]

Vitor Belfort will kill him

[carsormyr]

Jesus christ, he didn't look that much smaller than Bigfoot Silva!

[bhborges]

Submitt Belfort? LMFAO he trained with Carlson dude. You have to born again at least 3 times, treaning like hell every day, to try getting close to him.

[0910dc]

@bhborges hes obviously joking

[Steven1992ization]

I had no idea Rampage Jackson fought at 170

[AUpshaw85]

Hard to believe this guy used to make 170

[MegaHard0n]

he sucks at jo jutsu!

[SAMsamoJA]

@BeyondRelativity u lear nhow t ocu t weight in wrestling,i have once cut 10% of my weight in 3 weeks

[cdizzzzle]

The this comes off is me insulting his skills but im really wondering why they are teaching him a basic arm bar? how did he get this far without know that??

[kodoko1]

@cdizzzzle prac makes perfect :)

[cdizzzzle]

@kodoko1 I suppose youre right.

[Grumoth]

@cdizzzzle Protip: Martial Arts is 1000% about reps.

[dirtyminded604]

@Grumoth So true. In the great words of Bruce Lee "I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but i fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times"

[H1Cypher]

@dirtyminded604 It doesn't work like that in MMA though, that's the funny thing about that statement. It's total bull shit as it relates to MMA cause you have to be proficient at many things not just 1! Lol.

[PancakeSprawl]

@H1Cypher yeah it does if you become good enough at something. look at Mirko. he only had ONE weapon that he finished people with. the infamous left high kick. he finished a few guys with kicks to the ribs also, but it was basically the same kick, just to the body. he never threw any other types of kicks for almost his entire career it was the left roundhouse to the body or head and game over. he had a good sprawl and 2 kicks and became one of the most feared fighters in the world.

[H1Cypher]

@PancakeSprawl How did I know you'd use Mirko Crocop as your example? maybe thats cause the one everyone uses. Well it is a terrible example. Get a better one. It really is asinine for you to even try to push this stupid troll idea.

[MrFza]

@H1Cypher dos santos would be a nice example. Just boxing and takedown defense

[PancakeSprawl]

@H1Cypher it's not a terrible example. the same goes with Junior Dos Santos. all he has really in his offensive arsenal is his boxing, and look at him now, HW champion of the world.

Brock Lesnar only had his wrestling and he became champion. there is a lot of guys who are only really good at ONE thing and win all the time. Shinya Aoki is another one.

i think you need to understand that fighters don't have to be great at everything, they just have to understand how everything works.

[dirtyminded604]

@H1Cypher Ya thanks. Im aware of that. as "mixed" is part of MMA. My comment was in regards to someone asking why Johnson would be practicing a simple armbar. The more repititions the easier or more natural it becomes. Did you actually think that i thought one kick is going to work in MMA? Bruce's statement is saying it is better to perfect one technique, then know thousands of unperfected techniques.

[lucky44124]

Is he on roids? He looks twice as big as usual... in the last year

[MustangOliverSmith]

It's scary that Johnson still has a size advantage over most guys in MW, I mean seriously.

Hope Vitor can score another sick KO. I want him back into title contention.

[ak47ava]

@BeyondRelativity

dont forget bone density my man also thick your bones are.

[mmaboxingfan2]

The way rumbles head is shaped its like more arrow dynamic and its like two hills on both side so the punches will just slide off of his cone shaped head. The peak of his head or mountain is a weapon.

[Jackthemeat]

@mmaboxingfan2

hahaha arrow dynamic. how old are you?

[Guruievesmelvena]

hey i am 6'1 and 138 and a skiiny kid with almost no fat. lots of people are different. Some people i know weigh 200 pounds and look way smaller. also many people weigh 180 and look big like johnson. people have different builds. but i agree that 185 is a big drop for such a big muscular fighter.

[mmaboxingfan2]

hes the same size of big foot silva lol. He walks around 220lbs he looks 240lbs here. He cut weight by depleting himself. The ufc by asking him to fight at 185lbs is a smart idea. vitor has no chance in this fight.

[mmalford18]

@mmaboxingfan2 Hes big but nowhere near the size of bigfoot silva

[Amyas80s]

That dude is HUGE!

[apocalypse123]

Now that I think about it, Johnson fights very similar to Rashad Evans. A strong wrestler with knockout power. And the last time I underestimated Johnson, he stopped Charlie Brenneman with a head kick.

[KillerCity70]

He is about to rock shit at 185...

[Zelterman]

I still cant believe this guy used to fight at WW o_o'

[GigglingGirI]

Rumble is hot looking guy :)

[GigglingGirI]

Rumble looks so healthy and strong.

Vitor is scared of black people he will retire this week. Bah bye vitor the shit talker.

[pimpbranmuffin]

MY GAWD!!!! How the hell did he get down to 170? Rumble makes Rashad look like a child.

[MJHOOKEDONMMA]

uhoh aj training with blackzilians

[MJHOOKEDONMMA]

uhoh aj training with blackzilians

[AndJorD]

this man is a beast!! ooh victor I think you'll lose

[GunKrazy7point62]

one big black guy

[Ubergeekpie]

holy shit that guy could be heavyweight.

[dredge34]

@Ubergeekpie He is a heavyweight, he walks around at 220, and was even as high as 230 before one of his cuts, Man those cuts must have been brutal...

[Desi9]

Joey Diaz- Fear Of A Black Planet, Nuff said

[evilblurabit]

Johnson is so big all he needs to do is fall asleep on vitor and just crush him with his physique

[xsrg14]

ANTHONY JOHNSON vs. Brasil

[mmaboxingfan2]

@xsrg14 you got that wrong its chael sonnen vs brasil and anthony johnson is his back up lol.

[GBDazzler]

damn that gym is full of killers.

[xcombine]

Anthony "fat cheeks" Johnson

[MiamiJ]

I think this fight could go either way. Though if I had to put money on it, I would go with Johnson.

[dimeNdice]

Even I can do a better arm bar!

[mitsubishidiamante]

I Wish Anthony Johnson would Move to Light Heavy Weight.

and face Jon Jones that would be a good fight hehehe

[mitsubishidiamante]

Bring it Home Rumble! Represent the Bay!!

[OTKP]

LETS GO RUMBLE!

[timbo550]

How the FUCK! did this guy cut to 170?, what the fuck ? That's some shit! LOL

[littleoldal]

@timbo550 he said he was walking around at 215-220 at one point

[arellanoj90]

Pause at 3:03 .....

HE LOOKS AS BIG IF NOT BIGGER THAN BIGFOOT SILVA,HOW THE FUCK DID HE FIGHT AT 170......

[titoortiz]

Like AJ, but I'll never root against Vitor. Been a big fan of him for over 10 years.

[1DouglasTr]

Belfort sparring and training are so more harder...

[Krumpenstein]

He looks WAY healthier at 185. He was super drawn out and gaunt at 170.

[M4Carbine434]

How did he ever make weight at 170?? He's as big, if not bigger than Rashad

[area859]

VITOR BELFORT ALL THE WAY!!!!!! 

[Enishii]

I'm Brazilian but I don't like Vitor. GO JOHNSON

[Enishii]

"Oi gatinha" uhahuauha

[LiGHTSxOuTx9]

Go Vitor!!!!

[IauthenticI]

R.I.P. Vitor.

[ayd1nmo]

WAR BELFORT!!! Thumbs up Belfort FANS!!!!!

[SuperCokane]

170? OHHHH LAWWWWWWD

[yellopanda]

anthony johnson fights at rumbleweight
