Luke Thomas talks to UFC 142's Anthony Johnson about moving up to middleweight to face Vitor Belfort. Here's Luke's intro from MMA Nation:

"I had the chance to speak to 'Rumble' earlier in the week about his impending middleweight debut against Vitor Belfort at UFC 142 this Saturday. What struck me immediately was how much more bright-eyed and alive he seemed at this weight versus his previous appearances at welterweight. When pressed for an explanation on why there seemed to be two completely different Anthony Johnson quietly fired back with a dry and matter of fact of response. 'Trust me,' he said, 'It helps out a lot when you can eat.'"

He took it cause he needs to get paid. Sparring partners, coaches. They need that money. He really has no choice. A man’s gotta eat. Something Johnson knows very well, :)
