UFC Fighter Posts Angry Rant On Facebook, Company Responds

Former UFC title challenger Anthony "Rumble" Johnson probably should steer clear of social media for a while.

The light heavyweight, who has a history of domestic abuse issues, posted a lengthy rant on Facebook this week targeting a woman at the gym he frequents. Throughout the duration of the post, Johnson criticized and harassed the woman based on her appearance, and the fact that she had a yoga mat near a lifting area.

You can see the full post below.

"To the ugly girl in the gym built like a bag of dry dog food, this is for you. If you get in my way or any other athlete way again I'll through your yoga mat across the gym AGAIN.

"Who in their right mind stretches where ppl are suppose to lift? Don't ever run your mouth at me again you won't win that battle I will. Talking about it was rude that I lifted next to you while you were stretching. You need more than stretching to help that beat up body.

"Run to the front desk again crying talking about you feel threaten and gonna go to social media. I really don't care! I've been through worse! That's a athletes gym not a yoga studio. That fake crying does nothing for anybody btw. Just like the guy said you live in his neighborhood and you exaggerate and overreact all the time ?

"So one more time don't run your mouth and don't do yoga stretching where ppl lift weights or I'll snatch the mat from under you AGAIN and throw it AGAIN ?

"Understand? Good girl ?

"One more thing stop wearing sports bras when your tummy look like a old country red clay dirt road."

The post quickly picked up steam, and Johnson drew the ire of many. Johnson was suspended by the UFC after accusations of abuse were made last year and pleaded no contest to a domestic violence charge in 2010.

Johnson also apologized for the post, saying "I'm man enough to admit when I'm wrong and yesterday I was absolutely wrong."

The UFC responded to the outcry about Johnson's Facebook rant and issued the following statement:

"UFC is aware of the situation involving Anthony Johnson. We take these matters seriously and have commenced a formal investigation by a third-party law firm. We will act accordingly once we gather more information."
