Josh Koscheck Vs. Anthony Johnson

So you're saying Anthony poked Kos in the eye twice (once in left and once in right) in like one second? I don't know about that. I saw the poke to the right eye clearly but didn't see anything else.

 

It was before he threw the knee. Watch Johnson's right hand.

 

I see his hand come close but don't see a poke. See an obvious poke AFTER the knee though

 

He wasn't involved in the pissing fiasco, but yeah I agree, he showed heart in the Alves loss and just seems to be getting better. I think he would destroy Paulo Thiago in a rematch and he'd have a chance to beat Alves in a rematch as well. People forget KOS excepted that fight on short notice so he really wasn't prepared for Alves and still gave it a good effort.

 

I thought that he was faking it last night too. However, after watching it again, Kos was poked in the eye with Johnson's thumb BEFORE the knee. Watch when Johnson brings his hands underneathe, his thumb digs and drags right through Kos' eye.

 

I see his hand come close but do not see any contact.

 

The guy knows something most contenders dont.

He cannot avoid anyone..
He must take on everyone..
He must fight on two weeks notice.
He must fight twice a month if necessary

this is the only way he can prepare himself for GSP.

Hes GSPs biggest challenge. He was the last man to take GSP down, most forget this.

 

Glad to see Koscheck derail the hype machine surrounding Johnson.

 

It looked to me like the knee hit Kos's forearm and pushed that back into his eye. There wasn't any faking there, as he immediately fell backwards grabbing the eye and it was clearly jacked up when the was standing there. If he wanted out of the fight he could have gotten out of it at that point, but he didn't.

Johnson gassed badly and should really think about moving up.

Lets see Kos vs. Hardy and Johnson vs. Alves soon.
