↵“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.”
Anthony Johnson Talks Loss to Josh Koscheck
↵↵
↵It was an ugly fight, full of fouls. But the truth is, Johnson was getting beat standing even before all the eye pokes. It was very unexpected for Koscheck to be able to win the fight on the feet and once it got to the ground it was clear that Johnson was tired and unable to deal with Kos on top of him.
