Anthony Johnson Undergoes Eye Surgery From Kevin Burns Eye Poke

UFC welterweight Anthony “Rumble” Johnson has undergone surgery as a result of an eye injury sustained against Kevin Burns during their bout at UFC Fight Night 14, MMAWeekly.com is reporting.

Despite taking an obvious illegal finger to the eye, Johnson was declared the loser last Saturday via TKO after he darted to the mat and covered up following the infraction.

Up until the foul, many pundits considered Johnson the likely winner had the bout gone to decision.

“My retina was damaged, possibly detached, and the laceration was pretty long,” Johnson is quoted as telling MMA Weekly’s Mick Hammond. “It was basically from one end of my eye to the other. They did laser surgery that took about two hours, put some stitches on it basically.”

While Johnson has taken the high road throughout the incident, he still believes that Burns shouldn’t be allowed to fight until he gets his injured hand repaired. According to Burns, the reason why he throws his jab with an open palm is because he’s broken it three times in the last sixteen months.

“I told my agent, Ken Pavia, I have nothing against Kevin; but personally I don’t want him to fight again until he gets his hands fixed,” Johnson is quoted as saying. “I don’t want any other fighter to go through what I went through.”

“I don’t think it’s cool that he fought with his hands like that. It put himself and others that he’s competing with in danger. Just look at me. I can accept a loss, but I can’t accept a loss or the consequence of someone else’s wrong doing in a fight like that.”

Johnson indicated that he should be healthy enough to fight again in September or October.
That eye poke was so nasty, I'm suprised Rumble hasn't been more out spoken.

He's a very good sport, the refs decision was final and he respects that.

No it's not.

This will turn into a No contest for sure there's no way it doesn't.

The only fight decisions I have seen turned over came from drugs related, I have never seen a bad decision turned over, this will stand Suffy.

Akiyama/Misaki was overturned when upon further review Misaki illegally soccer kicked the crap out of Akiyama resulting in a KO.

Its been done before <.< just not in the states because theres been no (T)KO's that you can argue where anything else. This a clear 2 knuckle deep eye poke that detached Johnsons retina, not a early stopage.

Even Mazzagatti is saying he was wrong, it'll get overturned.

I'm not saying it wasn't wrong I saw the fight I saw it straight away and then saw several replays, I simply said I don't think it will be overturned because as far as I know Johnson isn't contesting anything anyway.

I think his agent has filed a complaint Shaun has the link to that I believe.

Well that's fair enough, I haven't had chance to search around for articles in the last week.
