When Rumble Johnson's team walked out on him

[shredman]

I was listening to Shillian and Duffy's recap of 312 here on Sherdog and Keith referenced some fight in Buffalo where Rumble Johnson's team walked out on him. What's the story here? He didn't say which even, just that it was in Buffalo.

According to Hooft, he wasn't present because he had left to put on a new shirt. He claims he was very supportive after Johnson was submitted.

Wasn’t Rumble announcing retirement? I think he kept calling for his coaches to come into the octagon but they didn’t, Im not sure the reasons. There’s video of it, it was a post fight interview.

RIP Rumble.

There may have been some other personal stuff going on that we dont know about, but yeah its not a good look.

It was a pretty sad moment, but AJ and his coach embraced just after. They were cool. Just a combination of frustration and miscommunication. Rumble did have the most puzzling game plan of all time, and his coach couldn't believe it.

I guess Rumble didn't follow the game plan or something. His coach is a Dutch standup guy. I don't think he understands how DC can grind people out.

I think he was upset that Rumble tried to wrestle with him

I always figured Rumble fought totally against their gameplan and seemed mentally beat.

Seriously, Rumble goes out and tries to out-wrestle DC? Seriously? I can't believe that was the gameplan they trained to implement.

Why on earth did he try to do that? Not one reporter asked him about it neither. Ever.

We will never know.

Very strange.

I heard it was an open and shut case for Johnson


R.I.P

Maybe I am confusing the fights. Is this the one where he was begging rumble not to quit?
