Anthony “Rumble” Johnson was probably the biggest guy in the UFC welterweight division.  He cut an insane amount of weight to make 170, and has finally decided to move up to middleweight.  For his 1st middleweight fight, Rumble faces Vitor Belfort at UFC 142 this Saturday.

To get an idea of just how big Johnson is, in the latest Fighter’s Diary video from the UFC, you can see him training with Rashad Evans.  Antonio Silva also appears.  Johnson makes Evans look small, and does not look much smaller than Bigfoot.  Perhaps moving up to middleweight will make Rumble the equivalent of Alistair Overeem at these weight classes.

Here’s the video:
