Anthony Johnson Moving To Light-Heavyweight For Next Fight

[No More Sorrow]

Anthony Johnson's next fight for Titan Fighting Championships will take place at 205 pounds, according to Titan FC owner/CEO Joe Kelly.Johnson won his Titan FC debut over Dave Branch earlier this year at a catchweight. He was released by the UFC after missing weight for his planned middleweight contest with Vitor Belfort by 11 pounds.


"(Johnson) has stated that in his next fight, he wants to fight for us at 205, so that's where the fight will be in July," said Kelly, while appearing on Bloody Elbow Radio recently. "We'll see."


Johnson has made it a habit of missing weight, causing the UFC to release him despite his age and skill-level being in his favor.

Even at this higher weight class i bet he misses weight by 10+ pounds again.

hmmmm 205... I'll give him a 6 pound +

heh this should be in the vbookie... Will Anthony Johnson make weight for his fight. Of course he will be favored to be overweight

It is the right move to move up a division but I doubt that he will make it. He will get it in his mind that he doesn't have to cut as much and will end up a few pounds overweight.

I took your idea Slim and I posted a vbookie for this in the vbookie sports section.

haha that is awesome. If he goes overweight again... I'ma just laugh

He should just move to heavyweight honestly.
