Rumble Johnson

[bambammccoy]

So I don't know if there was any beef between him and Dana but why is he not in the UFC anymore?

Havent heard his name in a while went on his Serdog profile and he is on a 5 fight winning streak. If there is no beef with him and Dana then how soon do people see him coming back to the UFC?

He couldn't make any kind of weight.
Failed to make 170 three times (I think), then was asked to fight Vitor at 185 and weighed in at 197 (yeah I know there were excuses, but still...).

He'll be back at 205 one day if he proves he's serious and dedicated, I'm sure.

 

[Sweden]

Never. He wasn't promotable enough for Dana to put up with his games.

 

[DLX]

Kept missing weight so he got cut after the loss to Belfort. He'll most certainly be back in the UFC though. He's too good of a fighter not to be. I actually think he belongs at 185. At light-heavy, he looks a bit doughy.

 

[ultraninjastar]

He ate his contract. When he was asked to sign a new contract he ate the pen.

He missed 170 twice. The Clementi fight, which was on about two weeks notice, and the Yoshida fight.

Did you not see how pissed Dana gets when guys miss weight? And Johnson missed weight several times.

Ruined my post.

Look at Fertitta's face. There's your answer.

 

[Midnighter]

UFC didn't have a weightclass for him.

 

[GrindingANARCHY]

The UFC is better off without him IMO

He's missed weight, what 5 times. Just because he's doing well at LHW in a C level organization, doesn't mean he'd do well in the UFC LHW division.

 

[ZackZed]

Fighters are scared shitless to even consider a move to Rumbleweight. He's too damn good for UFC.

he, imo is like alot of fighters not very courageous.....I don't want to be banned for fighter bashing so I won't call any fighter a pussy

but if fighters keep cuttring ridiculous amount of weight just to be the biggest fish in a small pond.....well that's what you are.... a pussy

fighters should fight at their natural weight or if they want to change weight......move up

I couldn't stand the criticism against edgar.....he was the lightweight champ while beaqting up guys that were cutting huge amounts of weight.........

the criticism should go to those guys......and rumble did not only cut insane amounts of weight.....he came in too heavy as well

I really have little respect for fighters who treat their body and their opponents like that

So does your name mean you're glad that Brock retired or are you praising him, because he's the king of fighting against smaller opponents. He was, without a doubt, at least 50 pounds heavier than Couture when they fought.

What about guys like Ubereem, who found LHW to be too hard, so he juiced up to Heavyweight?

 

[N8dogg]

Making weight is part of being a professional... Once Rumble gets a good win streak going and can make weight consistently then he may get another shot... Dana basically said as such when he cut him...

juicing up isn't very natural and healthy either....it's all about fairness imo

fighters should weigh in on the day of the fight.....that makes weight cutting impossible and the size/weight of the fighters more even.....as it should be

juicing up is also not playing it fair......to use banned substances to recover quickly from training and gain muscular weight......same thing....it's a form of cheating

 

[Bubblun]

because he has a contract with WSOF and he is happy with WSOF.
it is not always about the UFC.
