Anthony Johnson stod senast inne i oktagonen under ”UFC on FOX 14”, då han tog sig an Alexander Gustafsson vid Tele 2 Arena i Stockholm. Johnson lyckades slå ut Gustafsson efter bara 2 minuter och 15 sekunder, men det var inte bara positiva känslor som Anthony tog med sig från vinsten.
Detta hade Johnson att säga om matchen, via ”The MMA Hour”:
I did feel bad because we all knew what the deal was before the fight. He was supposed to have his title shot and then he got injured, and then Jon and D.C. had their beef going on. So, they let that fight continue even though one of them got hurt. So, Alex should have had his title shot then. It should have been Alex’s shot instead of D.C. This is UFC, this is their business and they do what they have to do.
It just seems like he’d been through hell and back trying to get his rematch for a title and he just didn’t get his opportunity again. I mean, I felt bad for him. So, when he was crying, that’s what was going through my head, like, damn, his dreams just got shot to hell. He’s the only guy I’ve ever felt like that for.
Härnäst kommer Anthony att ta sig an lätt tungviktsmästaren Jon Jones, och troligtvis möts de under UFC 187 den 27 maj.
