Anthony Johnson Former UFC light heavyweight title challenger Anthony Johnson is the subject of yet another UFC initiated investigation, this time for a Facebook rant in which he repeatedly insulted a woman from his gym and said he “snatched” her yoga mat from under her and threw it across the gym. Johnson (19-5 MMA, 10-5 UFC) apologized after the rant , which many called misogynistic due to his repeated insults about the woman’s looks, became a topic of discussion across multiple websites. “UFC is aware of the situation involving Anthony Johnson,” a UFC statement provided to MMAjunkie read. “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.” This is not the first time Johnson has been the subject of an investigation initiated by the UFC. He was suspended this past year following domestic violence allegations from the mother of his children and later reinstated after the woman withdrew a protective order . The UFC claimed to be initiating an investigation during that suspension
