At The Ultimate Fighter 8 Finale, back in December 2008, Anthony Johnson fought Kevin Burns in an immediate rematch after their first bout ended in controversial fashion due to an eye poke from Burns that didn’t allow Johnson to continue fighting. In their second bout, Johnson knocked out Burns with a head kick in the third round of the fight.
Now, almost nine years later and two weight classes heavier, Johnson will be challenging UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier in the main event of UFC 210. This card is set to take place on April 8 at the KeyBank Center in Buffalo, N.
