UFC Quick Quote: Anthony Johnson isn't dumb enough to fight John Howard with a bum knee

Anthony-johnson_medium

"It's my meniscus again. It's been torn for a year and a half now. I ain't dumb enough to fight this guy injured, especially after so much trash talking between me and him. He's a tough fighter and I guarantee his leg kick would have done more damage to my knee. That would be dumb to go in there and I'm smarter than that. I'm not ducking this guy. I promise you we're gonna fight no matter what. We will fight. Can I say when? No, but when my knee is fixed and 100 percent, oh hell yeah."

UFC welterweight standout Anthony Johnson updates Steve Cofield on his knee injury and the rationale behind withdrawing from their upcoming fight. "Rumble" is due back in the doctor's office next week to try and figure out a way to get his lingering knee injury corrected once and for all. Johnson and Howard have quite the verbal feud going but fans may have to wait until the latter part of 2010 before these two settle their score. Early predictions?

what a coward!!!

Fedor invented a language that incorporates Sambo and Kimuras.

So next time FEDOR is kicking your ass, don't be offended or hurt, he may be just trying to tell you he likes your hat.

Settle down, settle down..

He’s not afraid of Howard, I got a hard time believing Rumble would duck anybody.

I’m still a big fan of Rumble. Once he gets healthy and gets a little more experience he is going to be a major force at WW.

The weather is here, I wish you were beautiful

At least he’s not fighting with a “cracked skull” like poor Tito did….

Hes coming off a loss to Kos,

he doesnt want to lose again. He has been fighting and killing guys on that knee for over a year now right? Honestly, if he didnt lose to Kos I think this fight would still be on.

by HEELHOOK on Feb 19, 2010 1:05 PM EST reply actions  

still be on?

 He’d have faced a top 5er rather than Howard.
