If Clementi was able to catch him with an RNC, I could see a similar outcome for Zenko.

that was a short notice fight

and Johnson was visibly in terrible condition in that fight.

Yoshida is legit. More so than Johnson.

Yoshida is totally legit

one loss to Koscheck doesn’t make him a can. Yoshida came into the UFC as a highly touted prospect and other than losing to the top 5 Koscheck has cleaned house against 2 TUF guys.
Cans don’t go 2-1 in the UFC.
Zenko is a big step up for Johnson.

Um, then wake up.

Because Yoshida is legit; however, I think Rumble is a nightmare matchup for Yoshida. I hate to see either of these guys lose, but I’m slightly leaning towards rooting for Yoshida in this one. He already got brutally KO’d in the UFC, I hope I won’t see it again.

You can see that Anthony Johnson doesn’t give two shits about Animal cruelty.

“What Vick did outside the NFL shouldn’t matter”…..Wtf?

Look, I’m sick and tired of Vick being made the posterboy of animal cruelty but its a serious issue. You can’t just forget and forgive something like that.

Agreed and rec'd

I am with you 110%!

I'm the kind of girl who loves to watch a GOOD fight!

Johnson looks like a heavyweight.

WAR JOHNSON!!

I am a fan of Yoshida, but Rumble is the future of the Welterweight Division (along with Hazelett). If this fight goes to the ground though, Rumble could be in big trouble. Rumble has got to avoid the clinch and keep the fight standing.
