Listen to Anthony "Rumble" Johnson at www.SportsActionNetwork.tv .  He says he was supposed  to fight John Howard at the TUF finale but Howard may be pulling out and he considers that a "cowardly move". Also says he can't keep dropping to 170 forever and more good stuff!

Just click the radio button in the upper right corner!

I hope it happens, Howard seems to be a tough dude edging out Wilson and all but virtually unknown.

I'd like to see AJ get someone higher profile in the top 20 or top 10.

Dustin Hazelett if true would be awesome, or Paulo Thiago or Karo would be good as well.

IrishFighter110 - Dustin Hazelett is stepping in.


That would be a much better fight... a really interesting matchup. One has to think that if Hazelett can get it to the ground, he could be the first to actually beat AJ in the UFC (getting TKOd due to eye pokes doesn't count in my mind).

Hazelett- Johnson will be a sick fight and a good ladder fight for the division.

Here is a transcript of what AJ said for those of you who can't listen to it right now, from themmafiend.com :

I was supposed to fight John Howard for the Ultimate Fighter Finale, but supposedly he backed out, so uh, I don’t know. I don’t know why he backed out, you know, he’s a fighter, he fights for the UFC, he shouldn’t back out of any fight. But it’s up to him. If he don’t think he’s ready for the competition don’t sign up for the UFC, you know what I mean?



You get in there and you’re supposed to fight, that’s what we get paid to do, and you’re supposed to love what you do. To back out of a fight, you know, unless it’s an injury, it’s like a cowardly move.

Does he know why Howard pulled out? If not he should STFU before they re-sign the ghost of Rich Clementi to choke the shit outta him again.

Hazelett had knee surgery and is out for 9 to 12 months I'm pretty sure so it won't be him

Someone on the UG with a join date of 5 days ago said it, it must be true...

what don't you get about rumor? there is nothing wrong with someone posting what he said if it is labeled as a rumor.

your hard-on for fightlinker is quite disturbing.
