Anthony Johnson requires eye surgery
It turns out that the poke Anthony “Rumble” Johnson sustained during his bout against Kevin Burns required surgery as it damaged his retina. On top of that Johnson needed stitches for a laceration that went from one end of the eye to the other. The UFC is of course covering all medical costs from injuries occuring in the octagon.

The TKO ruling on the fight was complete bull. It should have been a DQ or even a no contest.
Clearly it was a poke in the eye (clearly accidental) that took Johnson out. Giving burns the victory was just adding insult to an ugly injury.
