However, he has recently gotten the itch to return and from the look of things, will be getting ready for a fight again. The biggest return fight in-demand for Rumble Johnson is the next man in line for a Heavyweight Championship shot - Francis Ngannou.
However, there are conditions for this. During Dominance MMA’s media day, Anthony Rumble Johnson revealed what it will take for him to fight The Predator.

Anthony Johnson revealed that he was completely burned out when he retired from MMA and had no desire to do anything with regards to MMA. He’s targeting an April 2020 return but is yet to re-enter the USADA testing pool. With regards to Francis Ngannou, Johnson said (H/T credits MMAFighting):
He admitted that a fight with Ngannou is what people want, but insisted that it needs to be at the right time and the right place.

Until then, he wants to put the Heavyweight Division on notice, which is why he hasn’t called out any particular name just yet.
