Anthony ‘Rumble’ Johnson is known for his incredible knockouts during his UFC career

The UFC might not have seen someone throw a punch like Anthony ‘Rumble’ Johnson.

The 36-year-old is another one of the top stars never to have won a UFC title, but that doesn’t take away from his performances in the Octagon.

Johnson had a history of wrestling during his college days and even worked as a bouncer after college.

His friend asked him to take up MMA at the age of 20, and Rumble certainly made a name for himself in the Octagon.

Anthony Johnson record

The American had only three fights to his name before he was signed by the UFC. He picked up a win in his first UFC outing, a fight he had accepted with a week’s notice as another star was injured.

Johnson knocked out Chad Reiner within 13 seconds of the first round, and that was a perfect way to make a name for himself.

Johnson was 3-0 before entering the UFC circuit and after winning his first fight in the promotion he lost the next one.

The American has fought in the Heavyweight and Light heavyweight divisions with wins over top stars such as Ryan Bader and Alexander Gustafsson.

However, Daniel Cormier seems to be a thorn in Johnson’s side. He has met DC twice for the Light Heavyweight title and has lost both times.

His last UFC outing was against Cormier for the Light Heavyweight title at UFC 210 in 2017. Johnson lost that and has not been seen in an Octagon.
