A sight for sore eyes

It might be just me but Anthony Johnson has the worst eye poke luck. It was first at Fight Night 14 where Johnson faced off against Burns and Burns struck Johnson in the eyes several times. The fight ended horrible, one of the worst ends to a fight ever. Its right up there with the Machida vs Shogun and Bisping vs Hamill as my shittiest end to a fight ever. Johnson got poked... no....no.... he got stabbed in the eye and the ref called it a knockout (good job Steve Mazzagatti...). What the hell was that! Johnson had to have serious eye surgery after the fight.Well that was all in the past but today when he faced off against Josh Koscheck, he was the victim of an eye poke again. I believe he was poked twice in the eye and some fans might be saying why is he faking it?! Look at the replays and tell if if thats not half a finger in a guy's eye. I really don't know how to feel after that fight. Koscheck won via submission.I believe Johnson is the future of 170 and I still do. Eye pokes affect a fighter for the entire fight. Johnson might have lost his first fight to Burns but the rematch ended with a KO with Johnson standing tall. I'm sure the result would be different if he met with Koscheck again.

Joe Rogan keeps saying he would like to see closed gloves for the 4 fingers so there are no more eye pokes in the UFC but if they do that they are giving the edge to stand uo fighters. The jiu jitsu fighters will not be able to do anything on the ground with closed gloves. Can you imagine how badly Royce Gracie would have been owned by his opponents if they had that back in the day mma was born? Gracie is pretty much the first guy to use jiu jitsu in the UFC and made people think wth because he made guys twice his size tap. The gloves can not become closed, it just not going to happen.

Now after getting my anger out from the eye pokes, let me just say GSP vs Koscheck sounds a whole lot better than GSP vs Hardy. Koscheck and Hardy are both irrigant cocky assholes so can't really say much about that but Koscheck's last 2 fights have just been way too impressive to not give him a title shot. Just because White wants a British champion to gain more money over from the UK doesn't mean Hardy should get the nod. He will probably get the title shot with GSP but I just want to take a stand and say thats not the fight true mma fans want to see.
