Anthony Johnson is alive. And if you had any clue about how close he came to death yesterday (Jan. 13, 2012), trying to make the cut to 186 pounds for his UFC 142 fight against Vitor Belfort, then you wouldn’t be blasting him for coming in a whopping 11 pounds over the middleweight division limit

That’s according to “Rumble,” at least, who recently took to Facebook to explain his dire medical condition and blast those who are calling him out. In addition to the unforgiving online mixed martial arts (MMA) online community, one would have to imagine that also includes Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White, who branded Johnson totally “unprofessional.”

“I’m already laughing at what ppl are saying. Yeah it was for medical reason and I did what the UFC Dr Told me to do. Believe it or don’t I give a f**k cuz the ppl close to me were freaking out but I’m still alive and something like this has never happen before. Say what you want I’m still gonna do my thang. You try not having feeling in your legs and can’t move then and see how you look at life after that.”
