Anthony 'Rumble' Johnson talks July 19th:
"I saw Kevin Burns' fight with Roan Carneiro [at UFC 85], his little highlight he had (choke). I know he’s going to try and take me down—I know it. He’ll try once, and if that doesn’t work, if he figures out that he can’t take me down and tries to strike with me, he might catch me one or two times. That’s part of the game—you’re supposed to get hit. Nobody’s perfect. I can dodge and block every punch that he throws at me, but I’m going to get mine too. And I’m pretty sure that mine are going to hurt more than his. I’ll send him a message on that first punch."

![Evidence of Anthony Johnson poking Josh Koscheck's left eye, prior to the "illegal" knee:
Johnson had this to say after the fight:
"I didn't hit him in the head, I hit him in the arm. I don't know why he would act like [that], I guess he was gassing. That's the only thing I can think of, [him] trying to find some kind of excuse to complain. I know I didn't hit him in the head. I thought I timed it perfect but I didn't and that's my fault. After him poking me in the eye it made a big difference. Then he did it twice and got both eyes the second time because when he swings, he jabs with his open hand and the right didn't even hit me, it was just the open palm strike and my eyes, my eyes are burning like hell right now. After I hurt him, he needed that, he needed some kind of excuse to recover, but it's all good."
