Anthony Johnson Plans to Return to the UFC as a Light Heavyweight
Not too long after the announcement from Jon Jones of Jones claiming to vacate the UFC light heavyweight title after a talk with the UFC and moving up to the heavyweight division, Anthony Johnson has now announced that he will be returning to the UFC and one of his first steps to do so is to enter the UFC’s mandatory drug testing program (reported by Brett Okamoto from ESPN). It would seem that Johnson would fight a top 15 fighter in his return and he has many options to break into the rankings for title contention once again.
