Unfortunately for Anthony Johnson, once you post something on the Internet, it's there forever.
The former UFC light heavyweight title challenger learned that the hard way this week, posting a message on his Facebook page indicating he had thrown a woman's yoga mat across the gym after a confrontation about where she was stretching in relation to where he was trying to lift weights.
Johnson has since deleted the offensive post, but not before it was screencapped and transcribed (via MMAjunkie.com):
To the ugly girl in the gym built like a bag of dry dog food, this is for you. If you get in my way or any other athlete way again I'll (throw) your yoga mat across the gym AGAIN.
Who in their right mind stretches where ppl are suppose to lift? Don't ever run your mouth at me again you won't win that battle I will. Talking about it was rude that I lifted next to you while you were stretching. You need more than stretching to help that beat up body.
Run to the front desk again crying talking about you feel threaten and gonna go to social media. I really don't care! I've been through worse! That’s a athletes gym not a yoga studio. That fake crying does nothing for anybody btw. Just like the guy said you live in his neighborhood and you exaggerate and overreact all the time …
So one more time don't run your mouth and don’t do yoga stretching where ppl lift weights or I’ll snatch the mat from under you AGAIN and throw it AGAIN …
Understand? Good girl …
One more thing stop wearing sports bras when your tummy look like a old country red clay dirt road.
@IanBainMMA I do my best but when ppl do dumb shit it annoys me. I only told the short version. I skip the part when she was talking shit

Johnson eventually apologized for his actions:
I shouldn’t have gotten that upset from the start but I did, I mean I'm human. I said some pretty nasty things about a female from my gym while full of emotions (not a good idea) so I do wanna apologize to her for being rude as I was and not taking a break to relax after our argument.
Sorry to everyone else too for having to witness me getting upset about a argument in the gym. I'm not going to sugarcoat it and make it seem like I'm a angel because I'm not but I will admit when I’m wrong. Other than that I hope everybody has a awesome day.
The subject of multiple domestic violence allegations, Johnson was briefly suspended by the UFC in 2014 while authorities investigated an alleged incident between him and the mother of his child. The case was eventually dropped.
