From Ariel Helwani via twitter:
Cung Le confirmed on The #MMA Hour that Anthony Johnson did collapse before the #UFC 106 weigh-ins, but will continue to fight at 170
Uhhh.. Anthony “Rumble” Johnson has now missed weight for his fight during UFC 104, and now passed out while trying to make weight. Johnson also reportedly started his camp at a whopping 220 pounds before his UFC 104 fight. That would make him have to lose 50 pounds in a six week span before the fight.
Add to that the fact that Johnson was clearly gassed by the time that the second round started in his fight with Josh Koscheck, and we have another point in an argument that we at this website have taken a hardline stance on for a long time: Johnson must fight at 185.
He’d still be a big strong man for a middleweight, and to reprove the point that we made in a previous post: There are only four guys at 185 that I know would beat him.
Rumble, let’s save ourselves some trouble and just start your run at Anderson Silva soon.

Let’s try this again. Sorry about the first posting I did.
Anthony Johnson better stop playing with fire. He is too heavy to be dropping all that weight just so he can continue fighting at 170 lbs. This guy is going to end up either in the hospital or dead, from the damage he continues to do each time he cuts all that weight. Passing out? Take the hints and either stop fighting or go up in weight. Johnson is too good a fighter for me to have to hear of his untimely death. SO, someone (Cung Le) please get Johnson to move up in weight.
