Anthony Johnson should have taken himself a few deep breaths and counted to ten.
The number one ranked UFC light heavyweight will have done nothing to endear himself to fight fans with his latest post on social media in which he aggressively addresses an argument he had with a woman at his gym.
Having been previously accused of domestic violence against the mother of his child, it probably wasn’t the wisest move to vent his anger so furiously and with such insulting language.

The charges were dropped against Anthony Johnson but he will have failed to improve his reputation after posting about the “girl in the gym built like a bag of dry dog food.”
“So one more time don’t run your mouth and don’t do yoga stretching where people lift weights or I’ll snatch the mat from under you AGAIN and throw it away AGAIN…”
Some fight fans upset at Johnson’s post, which he has since deleted, tweeted at the fighter who was previously released by the UFC for the above allegations before being reinstated when the civil case was dismissed.
@IanBainMMA to me before I got up and threw the yoga mat. Nobody fell down or got hurt or threaten anyone. I would’ve never let it go there

We don’t know yet if the UFC will hand down any punishment to the former light heavyweight challenger for a breach of their code of conduct but stranger things have happened.
As of now, Rumble is slated to face England’s Jimi Manuwa at UFC 191 in two week’s time and we’ve got an inkling who the lady in Johnson’s gym will be rooting for.
