News Anthony Johnson explains his exit from the UFC

TCE said:
With Bones moving up to HW and DC retired, he had a real good shot at becoming UFC LHW champion. I mean he's on about the UFC's "younger generation", and his "time ran out"... but the LHW champion is in his late 30's, and I reckon Rumble would have KO'd him with ease.

An odd move, imo. Especially since there is no bad blood on either side. But I do wish him all the best, and I will be watching him in Bellator for sure.

How the heck does one get a "pink belt"?
 
I'll sum up all this that has taking place in the last month.

Rumble would like to come back but he isn't fully invested in it. He has his weed business and that with USADA doesn't mix very well. USADA and Rumble don't mix either. UFC wants him to be at one weight. Bellator will let him fight LHW or HW whatever he more or less feels like. Just in general you can fight part time in Bellator and in the UFC they want you 100% committed. Bellator is much looser to involved with, sometimes to a fault.

this exactly... not to mention just about every other top lhw cant grapple well enough for me to bet against AJ. Dude would clean house on all these strikers at LHW

Rumble can still get that belt :)
 
He's not wrong but the way LHW is right now he could've got a title shot with two, maybe even one win.

Should have made a two fight deal and if that didn't worked out give a call to Bellator.

I don't watch Bellator very often and so I am not sure of the current form of a lot of the guys in that org
