10 Worst UFC Eye Pokes And Low Blows Ever

4. EYE POKE: Anthony Johnson vs Kevin Burns €“ UFC Fight Night 1

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ia4gu04G4cM Anthony Johnson is the first fighter in UFC history to lose via eye pokes. Yes, this is a real thing, it happened only once, and it happened to Anthony €œRumble Johnson. Johnson was poked in the eye repeatedly by Kevin Burns throughout their fight at UFC Fight Night 1 and referee Steve Mazzagatti issued several warnings. It was the final eye poke that Mazzagatti missed. Unfortunately for Johnson, the eye poke not only resulted in a loss on his record, but a detached retina that required surgery. Johnson would get a little payback at least when he fought Kevin Burns again at the TUF 8 finale. Johnson KO€™d Burns with a brutal highlight reel head kick.
