Who is Anthony Johnson??

Why is this nobody getting so much hype around here??

He KO'd that Ultimate Fighter reality show bum Tommy Speer and now all these morons on here think he is the second coming.

This Johnson guy hasn't even beaten anybody with a pulse.

The toughest opponent he has faced was Lightweight 155 lber Rich Clementi.....Clementi exposed Johnson and submitted him in 2 rounds.

You have a point. But you must admit that his striking looks dangerous. Coupled with his wrestling background gives him a lot of potential! That leads to Sherdog style Hype! Just check the Sokodjou threads!

I've seen a couple of his fights and I think he was impressive. Also he destroyed speer, he's looked good

the only reason you created this thread is because you read that article on sherdog. I havent seem much hype about him at all, all i have seen really is how good that fight was.

I heard they are trying to hype up an Anthony Johnson - Tait Fletcher megafight to determine who gets into the Yahoo Sports MMA top 30.
