Recently Anthony Johnson turned heads throughout MMA by relaying he still hopes to battle Jon Jones in his comeback run. Well, not surprisingly, the news got back to the light-heavyweight champ and he’s already responded.
When Johnson first announced his plans to return to the Octagon, the expectation was that he’d do so at heavyweight. If you’ve seen recent pics of Johnson you know that he’s absolutely massive, and he had talked about fighting at heavyweight. But, in a recent interview with Brendan Schaub, Johnson reported that if he thinks he can make the cut to light-heavyweight, he wants to finally battle Jones.
Well, Johnson’s comments made headlines throughout MMA, and they clearly got back to Jones. Recently the renowned fighter tweeted out this:
You better make sure you have that cardio together big fella @Anthony_Rumble
We’ve always been cool but I’ll be more than happy to choke you out if that’s what you’re looking for. @Anthony_Rumble
So, if Johnson can score a win in his Octagon return, and make the cut to 205, don’t be surprised if the UFC takes a long look at making this fight happen.
