Anthony Johnson Feels 'Healthier' By Making Decision To Fight At 205 Anthony Johnson's weight issues caused his release from the UFC. After signing with Titan Fighting Championship, Johnson still had trouble making the contracted weight.

Now, after deciding to compete in August at light heavyweight, "Rumble" is feeling better than ever. He recently told AXS TV's Inside MMA that the decision was the best one he has made.

"Now, I'm just like, 'I can't do that anymore.' I gotta do what I have to do, to make sure that I'm healthier, and that my body doesn't have to go through that stress anymore," Johnson said (thanks to MMAMania.com for transcribing). "I'm happy."

I like Anthony... if he can come in at a weight where he doesn't have to cut 30 pounds I think he can be a force in a weight class that will ultimately lead him to Jon Jones. Heh, careful what you wish for.
