Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted November 13, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted November 13, 2022 Was gonna put this in the MMA RIP thread but this is a shocker and I’m guessing a big name from a time period when a lot of fans got on board. Not much out there on it at the moment but both Michael Chiesa and Terrance McKinney have posted this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted November 13, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted November 13, 2022 Shocked me that, horrible news 😔 There's been talk of health issues and illness for a while, very little in the way of details though. Recently someone close to Rumble posted a photo of him in which he looked pretty frail and captioned asking for people prayers, I didn't expect this though. RIP Rumble Johnson.

Paid Members Carbomb Posted November 14, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted November 14, 2022 That is indeed a shocker. Only 38, too - no age at all. RIP Rumble Johnson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I read somewhere that he had some rare auto-immune thing going on that caused him issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted November 15, 2022 Author Paid Members Share Posted November 15, 2022 Yeah I read the same. He’s been battling it for a while apparently, he posted something about it last year. I remember around that time was when those pics popped up where he’d lost a load of weight, all makes sense now.

Dai Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Just seeing this, imensely sad. Im not on the social media stuff, so this has come right out of the blue. 38 is the same age as me, which puts things into perspective. Not many fighters have an aura, but Rumble certainly was one of them. Cant think of many fighters in the history of the UFC who had a big of a 'fear factor' with regards to the KO punching power, heavyweight division included. Certainly one of the most memorable fighters that have passed through the UFC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
