UFC 104 video blog with Anthony Johnson before Yoshiyuki 'Zenko' Yoshida fight

damnit johnson, now when you kill yoshida you will ruin mma forever. atleast if you were fighting at the same weight as him it would be considered “fair” now its just a huge handicap going against the MUCH smaller man. if he doesn’t go up to middleweight after this fight i’m no longer a fan

yeah seriously, if hes gonna live up to his hype he better stop pulling this bs, coming in overweight, coming in out of shape, getting suspended for beating up his gf… hes like the melvin guillard of welterweight, all the talent in the world and no discipline

I knew it about 2 months ago in a interview vid he had out with KNOXX when he said he was 220 that i thought this is ridiculous. If he doesn’t have his weight down by 2-3 weeks out to near 10-15 lbs, he’s gonna kill himself cutting. Those of us taking the value bet on Zenko one more thing on our side. I still don’t know how Yoshida will try to close distance but let’s hope Greg Jackson has something up his sleeve.

John – what did you lock up Zenko at? I got him @+300 on sportsbook but Bodog has him at at +325. So get on that if you haven’t placed your thing yet.

He was overweight in his fight against Clementi and got submitted.

I had a feeling Yoshida was gonna get killed this fight, this is great now, Yoshida has nothing to lose (except his life if he gets killed by Monster Johnson).

It’s not much of an advantage if he was killing himself to cut weight and cant rehydrate properly

he’s gonna gas

Anthony Johnson has beat who? If you watch his vary first fight against Chad Reiner he almost got ko’d the same time he knocked out chad reiner. Watch it and see for yourself. Plus his ground is about as bad as it gets like Houston Alexander. Watch out Johnson I see an ankle lock and no real mma fighter taps out to an ankle lock.

I don’t remember that, he was just backing up because reiner kept moving forward throwing like vitor on wand (except without the running speed and with his chin up and awkward robotic steps). Also no real mma fighter taps to ankle locks? Really?

i suppose anderson silva isnt a real fighter…

That was a loooonnnnggg time ago, seriously!

Heel hook and is different than the straigh ankle lock which I think NNR was refering too. A. Silva tapped to heel hook.

He knocked Reiner out in what, 20 seconds? GTFO!

i think this was a 4 minute hitman fight gear commercial.

Pretty lame video minus the Rampage joke.

by Ertz on Oct 23, 2009 10:57 PM EDT reply actions

I guess he should of focused more on cutting weight than the video blog. He came in 6 or 7 lbs over!!!!

He is HUGE for a WW. I see him moving to MW in the near future.

He couldn’t get uglier even if he tried.

by jayshogun on Oct 23, 2009 11:04 PM EDT reply actions

I think Johnson should move to middleweight, 220lb to 170lb, losing that much weight in short period of time is unhealthy.

by Hooner on Oct 23, 2009 11:09 PM EDT reply actions

I hope Zenko pulls out a win here. For me it’s like Akano vs Cyborg in that I have to root for the smaller fighter cus it’s totally unfair. Its BS

by Vulcano on Oct 24, 2009 12:10 AM EDT reply actions

I was damn impressed by the fight she put up. Natural 123lbs fighter vs 158 lbs of ripped chute boxer.

@ 1:25 I’d be sweating a lot more if I was running a lot harder… haha

by TheMattKing on Oct 24, 2009 2:25 PM EDT reply actions

he missed weight..BIG TIME…..185 is where he should fight

by tex mex on Oct 24, 2009 2:49 PM EDT reply actions

AJ, why do you refer to your wife, Anna Johnson (IFBB Anna Larrson) as your sidekick? And where is your wedding ring? Oooops, probably the same place it was when you were coming over and wining and dining me.
Unfortunately, the lack of discipline and respect extends far beyond that scale.

by AJ1AJ2AJ3AJ4 on Oct 24, 2009 7:08 PM EDT reply actions

I guess if he wasn’t out chasing tail all over the bay and getting girls pregnant in every city he visits he MIGHT be able to make weight.. don’t let the good ole southern boy charm you he is truly an animal and all will be revealed in his Nov 12th court date!!! YES you heard me he is still attending court for beating up his ex GF and a restraining order has been imposed on the monster for the next 5 years!! lol..
