Whatever he's moving on to next, Anthony "Rumble" Johnson wanted to make sure MMA fans know that they're appreciated.
The 33-year-old light heavyweight retired on Saturday immediately after being submitted by Daniel Cormier in the main event of UFC 210. Johnson was mum about his future (though he is apparently not suiting up for the Los Angeles Rams next season), but on Monday he confirmed via Instagram that for now his fighting days are over.
"Now I can be Anthony Johnson/AJ and not Anthony Rumble Johnson," he wrote before closing with the words "The End of Rumble."
