“maybe in the next life we will do that” bro that line hits much much harder now…

His name should be Anthony "humble" Johnson

Rest In Peace brotha. You were not only a great fighter of your sport,you were a great person in general. Always loved this speech. Prayers to you and your family

"I don't have to boo you baby, I've got nothing but love for you my man." What a LEGEND. Forever will be missed.

This was very sad, and his coaches are pathetic for not supporting him and going in the Octagon

“Where are my coaches?” 💔 hits harder than ever hearing about his passing. You will be missed Anthony. Thanks for the amazing memories

Johnson retires, Jones is out, Weidman loses, McGregor fights Mayweather and Bisping is the champion, lol - wtf is happening

"Maybe in the next life we'll do that" - Anthony to Jon that line hit even harder now...

Saddest day in recent UFC history. F*ck Rumble's coaches!

My heart dropped when he ask where were his coaches. Johnson is at the moment the best MMA fighter at Blackzillans and for them to leave him like that is disloyalty. I don't care how frustrated you are that's no excuse to walk off because he lost.

He said to jones that we will fight... maybe in next life..... 😭😭 it was very hard to hear..... It made me cry.. Rest In Power Champ💔.

Came back here after the news broke of his passing. Dude was a beast inside the cage and has my upmost respect. The all-time heaviest hitter at 205. RIP Anthony, you'll be missed...

What a well spoken gentleman. You will be missed sir.

can't believe the nicest man in UFC is gone, speech made me tear up a lil bit😢

Made me tear up a little watching my favourite fighter in his prime retire and his coaches abandoning him

One of the best retirement speeches ever. Made me cry when I saw it happen then. Makes me cry even harder now. We love you Rumble RIP

His coaches kinda suck for leaving him in the ring alone when he was about to announce his retirement, sad times

He never won the UFC champion title, but he won something more important, the whole world respect. A legend that dropped bombs and nobody could knock out. Thanks for all, Rumble.

RIP to a legend, sending all my prayers to his loved ones. He gave us countless great moments inside that octagon and was a true warrior, this shit is crazy Rest In Power Rumble!

This was one of the saddest post fight interviews ever, he will forever be one of my favourite fighters. Rest in Peace Rumble

"Where are my coaches" 💀😭

Yo this is literally the saddest post fight interview I've ever seen, just the look of unawareness in Rumble's face when he was looking for his team and didn't realise that they ditched him is enough to break a grown mans heart. Peace and love Rumble I hope you enjoy retirement and thank you for all the years you put in

1:01 someone screams “don’t do it”

I love you all… I said I love you !!! You only understand their true value when they are gone… Rest In Peace, you will be missed big man.

Fuck it was sad seeing Rumble look around for his coaches.

Rest in piece king this speech till this day gives me chills you was truly one of a kind you will never be forgotten one of the best to ever do it 👑

During the post-fight conference they asked D.C if he was surprised by Rumble's wrestling. They mention during the first round, Rumble's coaches were really mad and yelling all sorts of stuff to Rumble to stop. Then, they said in the second round they gave up and were all quiet. Now, during Rumble's retirement speech they seemed to ditch him. Sad. Feel bad for Anthony.

Pure heart....I felt this....dude was real...how he said ..." I said I love you" gets me every time! Hits me in the feels.

"I said I love you" such a damn good break in the speach, retirement in general. You are loved Anthony. A big thank you

KZbin Recommendations: 2017: No 2018: No 2019: Yes 2020: YES! 2021: I don’t even know 2022: Why are we still here.... 2022: November: RIP Rumble 2025 April: Still missing this Legend

Lol wtf. Rumbles coaches retired before he did.

This interview hits me every time like I'm watching it for the first time 😢

Why do I want to cry? Bye Rumble:( thank you so much for everything. I love you too Rumble. We all do, stay safe. All real UFC fans will miss you so much. Bones vs Rumble would've been great. Thank you so much for all that you've done, wish you so much success and happiness AJ

Never abandon your fighter. That feeling of them not being there in that last moment is pretty much makes everything good they did for him not matter anymore. That is an ultimate betrayal. All love Rumble miss your fights bro.

And he even gave the proper shout out to Goldberg that the UFC didn't even do! This really is the sign of a Humble Rumble Johnson... damn man that hurt

"I ain't mad at cha, Got nothin' but love for ya, do your thing, boy" 🕊️

Rumble should go into boxing where you don't have to worry about defending RNC's.

This is one of the realest shit I ever seen in sports. I shed a few tears man. What a respectable man. Fuck his coaches for ditching him like that. #GoRumble

Rumble is too nice to be a fighter :(

This guy was a true warrior, He fought his own battles silently. Rest in Peace

1:06 wow that took a fucking next level man not to cry right there and get out what he was gonna say not gonna lie.

Rest In Peace legend ❤️🙏,so heartbreaking ,few days ago I watched a tons of video of his knockouts for no reason,what a Legend,prayer to him and his family ❤️🙏

For a second there, I misread the title as "Anthony Joshua announces his retirement." 😂

We didn’t just lose any ordinary fighter we lost one of the most caring honest humble people ever we will never forget your legacy rumble

"I said I luuuph yuu" - Yoel "Rumble" Romero. But honestly, I almost shed tears when AJ cried.

Watching this in 2018...I miss Rumble in the octagon..

He was trying look for his coach like looking for his dad. NOT AGAIN.

This hits so different now🙏🏾

rumble coaches are like those close friends that everybody have, when you get on a fight or problem they are the first to run and don't even look back.

You know it’s emotional when Jon Jones looks like he’s going to cry

Here’s what happened. Anthony Johnson KNEW he was retiring after this fight. Win or lose. Well, maybe if he won and he got offered ALOT of money he would have stayed but I don’t know if he would have stayed. He had the marijuana business going for him and he knew he could make a lot of money and not have to fight. In his octagon interview he literally said he never liked fighting and getting hurt. He was just good at it. One of his coaches walked out of the octagon after the fight because he even knew that AJ gave up the fight. Sucks but it’s the truth. It would have been great to see AJ keep the fight on the feet but he just wanted to get out of there.

Still cant believe this brother ....i enjoyed u ..we will carry the AJ name ...u won t be forgotten💯%🖤

This will always be one of the few MMA moments that really tugs at my heart. Not just the retirement but more so how clearly hurt by the loss he is but still struggles to keep it together and say how grateful he is. “I enjoyed you joe...” ....😩

Hooft: You don’t have to wrestle him, AJ. Just relax. Voice: Don’t wrestle him. Hooft: Get out of there. Get out of there. Grappling coach Neil Melanson: OK, stud. Now, let’s get your hands hot. Voice: Why is he wrestling him? Hooft: This is stupid. Voice: Why is he wrestling him? Hooft: (Expletive) it, man. Just get off the cage. Voice: Get out of there. Voice: Why isn’t he listening? (Johnson and Cormier are broken up by referee John McCarthy, and Johnson lands kicks.) Voice: He’s tired already, DC. He doesn’t need to do this. Voice: Why isn’t he listening? Hooft: I don’t know why he’s doing that. We have no (expletive) eyes. Break between Round 1 and Round 2 Hooft: Can you tell me why you’re wrestling? Now, you’re not going to wrestle. You take your distance. Stay away, two steps away. Why are you so worried about everything? The kicks and the knees are really good, but no kicks. Where’s your hands? Voice: You’re doing great. Don’t (expletive) wrestle him. Hooft: If you stand your distance, it’s an easy game. Why make it difficult? Round 2 Hooft: Movement. Athletic. Movement. That’s it. Take your distance.

I'm going to sleep now and hopefully when I wake up tommorow this was just a bad dream.

I’m here to pay my respects for an incredible human being . I’m lost for words , Rest In Peace brother I’ve watched this video atleast 2-3 times .

Rest in piece brother, you’ll never ever be forgotten

Watching this after hearing the news of his unfortunate passing has me feeling a certain way 😢 Rest In Peace bro 👑

What a warrior in and out of the cage, rest in peace champ, we enjoyed you rumble, you will be extremely missed, thoughts to you’re family and friends brother💔

Never watched him fight but the attitude and the respect from this Legend I wish i watched him cause he is a true gentleman true sportsmanship nothing but love and respect for you Anthony R.I.P Legend u be missed 🫡

Thank you Anthony Johnson. It is not often that we see the fighter's heart. I'm sorry to see you go, blessings for your future. Dignified warrior!

Makes me almost wanna cry every time I think about this speech. Seems like such a great guy

One of the guys who got me into the sport. RIP, beast.

This still brings tears to my eyes years later especially the last part. We miss you Anthony rumble Johnson

bro rumble ruined my whole day he was my favourite light heavyweight and now he retired

It all make sense now why rumble didn't accept the interim title fight at 206. And then now he didn't say anything about dc towel trick as well as initiating the grappling. After the Glover fight, he already has decided that fighting dc for the belt will be his last fight.

I am crying ..an Indian who's started watching ufc from last 2 yrs .... didn't see any rumble fights...just few highlights of him n interviews.... can't stop my tears

Maybe if Tyron acted more like this instead people would like him or give a shit about him.

RUMBLE YOUNG MAN RUMBLE LEGEND WE LOVE YOU! Please come back to heavyweight you have so much to offer!

I’ve seen this video at least 20 times. I came back here after learning of his death. Makes my heart heart. I feel like I lost family and I don’t even know him. Rip Rumble gone to young.

Legend as always anthony... may you rest in peace up there

What a shitty night, Cote retired, Gonzalez lost, Gegard and Weidman got fuck by the referee and Rumble did the amazing gameplan i've seen and he retires after that... omg can believe he did that, this is number one bullshit.

Much love to Rumble. Man I can't imagine how hurt he is because he wasn't able to win the title for his grandparents, friends, trainers and the rest of his family. Over the last couple of years I have come to admire Rumble's story. It's amazing. Thanks Rumble for all that you've done! #ThankYouRumble

it hits different now when he said maybe in the next life him and jones would fight you will be remembered rumble

I fucking hate that he passed at a young age, but he was able to say his goodbye. And we will always have this to cherish him.

I tuned in to every fight this man fought win or lose because ufc or pfl. Ive watched him fight from his ufc debut in 07 when he fought chad reiner. Such a humble human being and exceptional fighter. Rest in love brother!

*#ThankyouRumble* *ufc 210 - night of retirements*

Why Rumble? WHY DID YOU TRY TO OUTWRESTLE DC?!!

_"Maybe In The Next Life We Will Do That"_ It's Like He Knew WhatsUp. RIP Man!

Thank you for the gamplan buddy.

rumble is that guy you just cant hate mans nothin but love and respect.

Rest in paradise king; you gave us a hell of an era 💪🏾

He then came out of retirement, and won his last fight by knockout. He went on to start his own business and become head of talent relations for Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship. He then unfortunately passed away to cancer in 2022. RIP King. Absolute legend. My heart goes out to you.

Who's here from his bellator debut where he recovered and got the 2nd round KO. Yesssirrrr his back!!!

RIP Anthony Johnson an absolute legend to the sport life isn’t fair man taken way to early fly high Rumble❤🕊️

He was such a respectful humble fighter and human...you'll be missed king! rest in paradise brother!!

Rip bro you were a real legend you paved the way for the fighters of today

And just like that, he's back at heavyweight

Definitely shed a tear watching this. Rest easy Anthony you were a great man and a great fighter

Rumble's coaches was like peace nigga after he lost. :D

KZbin recomending this now is so heartbreacking

As much as I love Rumble, this really pissed me off. He did not try or fight to his strengths during the fight, he played right into Cormier's fight plan. Then he retires unexpectedly - it was clear that's why he didn't give it his all. He could have won easily and have the greatest sending off he could've asked for, but he just doesn't care anymore

Sad day seeing Rumble retire at such a young age. It's been a pleasure watching him over the years. Thank you, Sir and good luck.

Next Week : Rumble Johnson signs for Bellator

_"...maybe in the next life"_ 💔😩 May we all be reunited in the Akhirah, inshaAllah❤️

where are my coaches? -cm punk

Rest in Power Rumble 🙏🏽 Amazing fighter and amazing human-being

Breaks my heart that his coaches weren't there for him. Gutted. Don't retire man.

RIP to a respectable, humble man and a beast in the cage

jesus somebody find henry
