Anthony Johnson has the physique of a pro wrestler. He has the intimidating, larger than life presence. In a different career, he cold be the next Goldberg, Bobby Lashley, or Brock Lesnar. It's insane to think that he used to cut weight all the way down to welterweight - the man has fought at heavyweight in recent years! It's not Goldberg, Lashley or Lesnar who Johnson was influenced by, however. Like many others, he was saddened to hear of the death of the Ultimate Warrior, and took to twitter to express his condolences. It was Warrior who reached him growing up. When you consider his style, it's not hard to see the influence at work: Warrior was always a force in the ring, just as Johnson is in the cage.
