Anthony Johnson’s only TKO loss on his record came in July 2008 against Kevin Burns, whose masterful eye-poke game fooled Steve Mazzagatti into calling a DQ-worthy poke an actual TKO. Johnson’s appeal was unsuccessful, so the result still stands. Rumble got his revenge in the immediate rematch at the TUF 8 Finale later that December. Early in the final round, Johnson practically decapitated Burns with one of the most absurdly powerful head kicks in UFC history.
