“The cause of death was organ failure due to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, which is a rare disorder of the immune system,” Yahoo reports.

Today it was announced that former UFC and Bellator fighter Anthony “Rumble” Johnson died unexpectedly at the age of 38, after battling with worsening health conditions since 2021 that Rumble nor his team explained in detail what was happening.

Bellator MMA issued a statement on Rumble’s sudden passing: “The BELLATOR family is devastated by his untimely passing and we send our condolences to his family and friends during this difficult time.”

UFC President Dana White also responded to the news, saying,

He was always a great kid. He was always in fun fights, and he had that one-punch KO power that not many people ever had. He was a good human being. I send my condolences to his family.

As White indicated, UFC fighter Michael Chiesea said that Johnson was “One of the most prolific KO artists our sport has ever seen.”

‘Johnson had been battling an unknown illness for a long period of time,’ The New York Post wrote.

However Kevin Lole of Yahoo Sports that the “cause of death was organ failure due to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, which is a rare disorder of the immune system.”

Otherwise known as HLH, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital explains that,

Patients with primary HLH have cells of the immune system called T and NK cells that don’t work properly. These cells become overactive, causing too much inflammation. Ordinarily, these cells should destroy infected, damaged cells of the body. In HLH, the immune system begins to damage the patient’s own tissues and organs, including the liver, brain and bone marrow where blood is made.

Sometimes, doctors can see these angry immune cells “eating” other cells when they look at the bone marrow from a patient using a microscope. This process is called hemophagocytosis.

Primary, or familial, HLH is caused by problems in genes that control how the immune system kills virus-infected or other abnormal cells in a person’s body. 

As for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma:

Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a type of cancer that begins in your lymphatic system, which is part of the body’s germ-fighting immune system. In non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, white blood cells called lymphocytes grow abnormally and can form growths (tumors) throughout the body.

Normally, lymphocytes go through a predictable life cycle. Old lymphocytes die, and your body creates new ones to replace them. In non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, your lymphocytes don’t die, and your body keeps creating new ones. This oversupply of lymphocytes crowds into your lymph nodes, causing them to swell.

Mayo Clinic explains

Rumble was 23-6 in his MMA career, and challenged for the Light Heavyweight title twice in the UFC, but was bested by the now former-Light Heavyweight and Heavyweight champion, and silver Olympic medalist, Daniel Cormier. Cormier also responded immediately to the news sending his condolences.

After his second attempt in 2017 to seize the belt, Rumble retired from MMA for a time and then later returned to fight under Bellator MMA, another widely popular international MMA promotion, where he defeated his opponent in May of 2021.

Johnson was scheduled to fight later that year, but announced on social media that he was dealing with a string of health issues at the time that Rumble said was awful, writing that he he “never been this afraid of anything in my life, but I’ve remained strong with the support of family and friends.” He also added in all caps that it was “NOT COVID.”

At the time it was not known what he had, but Bellator President Scott Coker said that he would need ample time to recover due to the severity of it.

Several weeks ago Rumble’s manager, Ali Abdelaziz, revealed that his health had gotten worse.

Rumble, he’s going through some health problems right now. Very sad. I want everybody to pray for him. Pray for Anthony, he’s not doing well. He’s very strong, spiritually, but pray for him.

I want to give a shout out to Bellator, Scott Coker. They’ve been supporting him. You could not imagine how much support they’re giving them. Anthony, be strong. A lot of people love you. He’s going to be okay, but he’s not doing well.

Manager Ali Abdelaziz told ESPN (transcribed by MMA News).

AUTHOR COMMENTARY

For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

James 3:16

Based on what Rumble died from, to me, I cannot help but seriously wonder if this yet another Covid death shot fatality. These types of symptoms are eerily identical to the many others are dying “unexpectedly” from heart attacks, strokes, autoimmune disorders, and other ailments that cause inflammation of different organs. You can checkout these two reports below especially that seem to align with what occurred with Johnson:

Death Shot: Scientists Demonstrate That The Vaccinated Are Dying From Autoimmune Diseases

DEATHSHOT: Postmortem Study Of Vaccinated Man Reveals “Viral RNA Found In Every Organ Of The Body”

And athletes especially have also been kicking the can rapidly since the vaccines were introduced:

I could not find any evidence that Johnson took a Covid vaccine after my preliminary search. If you do have any evidence to show that he did take a Covid vaccine, feel free to post it in the comments or email The WP at winepressnews@aol.com, and I will update this post.

But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.

Colossians 3:25

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

  • Another star athlete bites the dust.

    Celebrities are falling over like flies from the death jabs. Recently, Kevin Conroy who did the voice of Batman in the Animated Series and several Batman video games and other cartoons died at age 66.

    Just think, if celebrities are dying at a quicker rate than they were ten or twenty years ago, think how much more it’s magnified among regular general populace.

  • another one bites the dust
    another one bites the dust
    and another one gone and another one gone
    and i’m gonna get you to
    another one bites the dust

  • Gallagher, the comedian .. I immediately wondered if Johnson was jabbed. The auto-immune diseases are definitely linked to the jab.

  • Heart, circulation and rare immune disorders seem to have gone on the rise after 2020. The whole deal with plausible deniability is the slim chance it could be due to something other than the general trend. I’d think that the powers that be pushed the shots from certain segments, including those strongest & most healthy, first responders, leader types….and especially blindly obedient professors who tend to develop scruples & have more than the general tendency & hope of conviction & repentance that could mess up their plans.

    When they studied Chinese brainwashing techniques during the Korean war, in my opinion part of the reason for the ‘curtains’, Iron and Bamboo, & all those no-win ‘police action’ wars at Rome’s promotion….they found black Bible believing airmen to be the only ones who did not succumb. Reason? They trusted no man outside their proven tight circle: only Christ. Though, of course they wrapped it up good in psych-sorcery quack scientific terminology: science falsely so-called. Edward Hunter’s book documented it.

    The communists were already working the inner city minority neighborhoods of the United States, & you had the fascist leaning KKK types, elitists and nicolaitans….but there were also strong Bible believing factions especially amongst the black population striving to build strong churches, families & communities who were no doubt part of why those neighborhoods were so targeted by every flavor of elitist idolatrous humanist socialist, gnostics & despots at heart.

    Speak-easies, prostitution, purposely poor schools, then drugs, the promotion of destructive pop culture, voodoo & abortion mills. Not so different than what they did to the poor baptist Southerners of any color skin, & later the conservative rural areas resisting their ‘transformation’. The Lord’s going to blow the top off of all of that, & expose all those who winked at…and used it to fulfil their lusts…whited sepulchres & hirelings, craft idolators & emulators.

    I have no idea of either his life & testimony, or his sport, but I do hope he was saved, & I don’t think it will matter much then whether his pile of ashes at the 1 Corinthians 3 judgment was greater or lesser than mine. The media will always twist it to the great human being angle whether they loved or hated the man, hanger-on’s to his achievements, fame and money.

    Whatever crown(s) gained are to be willingly & thankfully cast at the Lord’s feet in undying gratitude, eternity before us, this wicked behind us in any event. Plenty of people thought they could use sports wealth & notoriety to witness for the Lord like Billy Sunday tried to do (losing his family in the doing) with the new phenomena of big spectator sports without looking into it closely enough before leaping to see the heartache & 1 Timothy 6, James 4 temptations & corrupting influences there. Not to mention the link to the Greco-Roman paganism such things are falling back towards. 2 Peter 2-3 & Jude KJB.
