How Did Anthony Rumble Johnson Die? Death Cause Revealed

Anthony “Rumble” Johnson, a former UFC fighter, has passed away at the age of 38.

On Sunday, Anthony “Rumble” Johnson, 38, passed away. He had a record of 23-6 in mixed martial arts (MMA) competitions, including a 13-6 mark in the UFC between 2007 and 2017. Death was brought on by complications from non-lymphoma Hodgkin’s and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, which led to organ failure.

One of the most feared punchers in MMA history, Johnson competed at welterweight, middleweight, and light heavyweight for the Ultimate Fighting Championship. On June 12, 2007, in Hollywood, Florida, at the age of 30, he made his debut in the UFC by knocking out Chad Reiner in just 13 seconds.

Seventeen of his twenty-three mixed martial arts victories came via knockout, and even as he gained a lot of weight he maintained his knockout strength. He had two attempts at the UFC light heavyweight title, both of which were defeated by Daniel Cormier via rear naked choke. After Jon Jones was stripped of his title and defeated by Daniel Cormier at UFC 187 on May 23, 2015, the belt was left vacant.

Cormier won again with a rear naked choke submission at UFC 210 on April 8, 2017, in Buffalo, New York. That was Johnson’s penultimate MMA fight and his last in the UFC. He came out of retirement to start a marijuana business, but he fought once for Bellator before he settled on a business career. At Bellator 258, held on May 7, 2021, at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, Connecticut, he knocked out José Augusto Azevedo Barros at 1:30 of the second round.

UFC president Dana White has remarked of Johnson, “He was always a lovely kid.” “Always engaging in exciting skirmishes, he possessed the kind of knockout power rarely seen in the ring. He was a decent person in general. To his family, please accept my deepest sympathies.”
