A Florida woman who was involved in a casual relationship with Anthony Johnson filed a restraining order against the retired UFC fighter this past August.

The woman filed the order, a temporary injunction, because there was “an immediate present danger of dating violence,” her attorney, Robyn Barrett, told MMA Junkie.

Johnson’s attorney, Scott B. Saul, said Johnson is accused of online stalking, making threats and posting intimate images of the woman, whose name MMA Junkie is withholding. Saul said the order was filed after the two dated briefly and continued to exchange messages on social media.

“He’s saying I’m going to go get my gun, and her interpretation was (the message was) aimed at her,” Saul said. “His position was somebody on social media was stalking him, and he was saying it in reference to the person bothering him and not her. That’s his position, and also I believe he may have posted a picture of her performing something intimate on him. But it all had to do with social media postings.”

This past month, the order was extended for one year, after which the woman will “evaluate whether she is still in fear of the defendant and whether extending the injunction is reasonable at that time,” Barrett said in a statement.

Johnson is required to stay away from the woman until Feb. 6, 2020, or he could be held in contempt of court. Multiple attempts to reach Johnson for comment were unsuccessful.

“There were no findings of fact, nobody testified, and there was no ruling,” Saul said. “It was just the parties saying, listen, these people barely know each other – what do we need to litigate? Let’s just revisit this in one year, and if there’s not a problem, you don’t need an injunction because there’s no imminent threat to anybody.”

Johnson has a history of allegations involving domestic violence. In 2009, the two-time UFC title challenger pleaded no-contest to a domestic violence charge after he forcefully entered his ex-girlfriend’s house and slammed her to the ground, leaving her with multiple injuries. Johnson denied getting physical in a May 2015 interview with ESPN.com. He attributed the incident to a passionate argument and said he remained friends with the woman.

In September 2014, Johnson’s UFC career was temporarily halted when a different woman claiming to be the mother of his two children filed a police report alleging she received death threats from Johnson’s friends and that he had struck her and knocked out two of her teeth in 2012. The woman also filed a restraining order, but two months later voluntarily withdrew it. Johnson was cleared to compete.

In January 2015, however, that woman filed another stalking claim. According to ESPN.com, she accused Johnson of calling her repeatedly and sending threatening emails. Johnson claimed in court that the emails were fabricated. The case was voluntarily dismissed in March.

That same month, another ex-girlfriend of Johnson’s told police he had shown up unannounced at the taekwondo studio where she worked. He allegedly grabbed her shirt behind the neck, lifted her up from the chair by her shirt and grabbed her right arm, causing bruising and scratches. She said Johnson didn’t leave until police arrived and had visited the studio 15 times before getting physical. She declined to press charges, and Johnson denied the woman’s account, saying “we talk everyday and (are) great friends.”

Johnson, who retired from competition after a second failed bid for the UFC light heavyweight title in April 2017, recently sparked headlines when he signed a promotional deal with the Bare Knuckle FC promotion. He denied rumors of a comeback to fight, but in an interview this week said he would return to the cage if current 205-pound champion Jon Jones moved up to heavyweight.

After hanging up his gloves, Johnson turned his focus to the marijuana industry, co-founding a company that makes cannabidiol (CBD) products.
