![John Howard (13-4, 3-0 UFC) vs Anthony Johnson (8-3) This March:
After a lot of smack talk and some genuine bad blood between both guys, it looks like the two will finally meet in the octagon.
John Howard on Twitter: "Me and Anthony crumble Johnson will be fighting. Time to shut him up. See u soon crumble. ur ass is mine Here comes the Doom!"
He also says the fight will happen this March. They have two cards planned on that month, the UFC card on Versus, and UFC 111 on New Jersey about a week later.
[UPDATE]: MMA Junkie reports that the bout will take place on the main card of UFN 21 on Versus

![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."
