Anthony Johnson is one of the most gifted athletes, as well as, probably the biggest welterweight in the UFC. "Rumble" Johnson is a fast up and coming superstar. He has yet to have a UFC fight make it to the judges, and has piled up finishes in over half of his fights. While he has suffered some defeats, they have come with good reasoning. Stepping up to face Rich Clementi on a weeks notice, he had to lose 30 pounds that week to make weight. While he didn't get all the way down, he did lose 24 pounds which took a lot of his ability away during that fight and was finished by rear naked choke. Anthony's only other loss was against Kevin Burns, where he was clearly ahead on the scorecards and took multiple fingers to his eye. The final finger sent him down in pain and the ref called a stop to the fight via knockout, declaring Burns the winner. On instant replays it was clear that there was no knockout, yet the decision stood. However a rematch was made and Rumble got his revenge, defeating Burns with a head kick in the 3rd round. Johnson tried out for The Ultimate Fighter: Season 6 but was turned down. However he did put one of the worst beatings on eventual runner up Tommy Speer, finishing him in under 1 minute.
