UFC veteran Anthony Johnson is set to make his light heavyweight debut in a matter of weeks and won’t wait long before taking to the ring in a follow-up performance, as two tilts have been linked to “Rumble” in the coming months. First, Johnson will face Esteves Jones on August 24 at Titan FC 24, and then the 28-year old will take on Jake Rosholt on September 21 at XFN 8.
Both bouts were announced this week by event officials.

Jones owns an overall record of 8-3 with six TKOs to his credit. Comparably, Rosholt also spent time in the UFC where he beat Chris Leben, and also holds past wins over Nissen Osterneck and Matt Horwich.
The 11-4 Johnson picked up a victory his last outing after being released by the UFC for weight-related issues. He has also found success in the cage against the likes of Luigi Fioravanti, Charlie Brenneman, and Dan Hardy.
