“Horrible news: Anthony ‘Rumble’ Johnson passed away today. He was 38 years old,” journalist Ariel Helwani tweeted. “Johnson had been battling an illness for quite some time.

RIP Rumble
You were every entertaining

Something very bad must have happened to his body.

His passing isn't surprising after seeing his skinny body in some recent images after being 250ish of muscle a couple years ago...looked like he was down to 170-180 or so in a somewhat recent photo

This was his last Instagram post, obviously leads to more questions than answers

 

[GO BIG RED!!!]

rest in peace brother.

This one hurts!! One of my all time favorites to watch. Damn bruh.. Rumble was a legend in the sport. Big power, slumping everybody, even had DC on skates doing somersaults from how hard he hits. Does anybody know what the disease was? ? RIP

 

[KnockoutThoughts]

Could it have been diabetes?

 

[Jesus X]

Damn only 38 years old.

 

[Jesus X]

Could it have been diabetes?

His weight loss points to either an intestinal problem or cancer but im just guessing here.

Damn cancer. Andy Whitfield died of the same cancer.

 

[Jesus X]

Supposedly non hodgkins lymphoma is supposed to be easier to treat but it killed andy whitfield too. His documentary "be here now' shows him treating it till his death.

Tragic. RIP big guy.

Really sad.
I'm a baby when it comes to death, It always hits me hard. I've had a number of patients die on me in the past 18 years and it gets to me even to this day. Life is so fragile.

Could be both..

 

[Jesus X]

Could be both..

A lot of the cancers in retired football players are linked to p.e.d use.

This sucks.

RIP.
