Do NOT do yoga in UFC fighter Anthony “Rumble” Johnson’s gym – the guy just went OFF on a woman who did… throwing her yoga mat, saying she’s built like a “bag of dry dog food” and making her cry. In 2010, Johnson “pleaded no contest to putting his girlfriend in a headlock and dragging her up the stairs” and while Johnson was “suspended indefinitely” after details of the former case came out, he was readily reinstalled in the UFC once the plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the case.

Backlash ensued as Johnson’s tirade spread across social media and while he eventually deleted the original post, he remained defiant in the early stages of the flap.
“Sorry to everyone else too for having to witness me getting upset about a argument in the gym”.
According to his Facebook post, the pair argued over her stretching near where he was lifting weights and that he threw her yoga mat across the gym. “Don’t ever run your mouth at me again you won’t win that battle I will. You need more than stretching to help that beat up body”. And maybe she was stretching in the way of people trying to lift weights. Johnson was not kicked out of the UFC for any of his alleged domestic violence accusations.
“Run to the front desk again crying talking about you feel threaten and gonna go to social media”. That fake crying does nothing for anybody btw.

As of now, Rumble is slated to face England’s Jimi Manuwa at UFC 191 in two week’s time and we’ve got an inkling who the lady in Johnson’s gym will be rooting for. He also had domestic “incidents” in 2009 and 2012. While those charges were ultimately reduced to misdemeanors, Johnson was convicted and sentenced to three years’ probation, eight hours of community service at a local boys’ club, one day of jail and 52 weeks of domestic violence counseling.
