Anthony Johnson catches a bad one
July 21st, 2008 by Bobby Deren
One of the most controversial decisons during UFC Fight Night 14 came in a rather unusual manner. Anthony Johnson was well on his way to a seemingly unanimous decision over Kevin Burns. But with the fight waning down in the last couple minutes, Burns caught Johnson with as fierce poke to the eye.
It wasn’t the first time Burns had done such a thing, nor it wasn’t the first time he was warned. Johnson was sent flailing to the mat and could not continue. When the decision was announced everyone, including Burns himself, was shocked.
The crowd booed but being a true sportsman, Johnson urged them to turn the boos into cheers as he claimed to bear no ill will against Burns. However, Johnson still should have been awarded the victory. Fiveouncesofpain.com brings you all the details.
