'Rumble' Johnson planning UFC comeback

Anthony Johnson is looking to "Rumble" in the UFC once again.

Johnson, who last fought in the promotion in 2017, will re-enter the UFC's drug-testing program in hopes of making a comeback, his manager, Ali Abdelaziz, told ESPN's Brett Okamoto.

The announcement that Johnson wants to return as a light heavyweight comes on the same day Jon Jones relinquished the light heavyweight belt in hopes of moving up to heavyweight.

Johnson previously fought for the light heavyweight title on two occasions but lost both fights to Daniel Cormier via submission. He retired from the sport after his last defeat in April 2017.

The 36-year-old owns a 22-6 record and went 13-6 in the UFC.
