MMA H.E.A.T. was at the T-Mobile Arena in LasVegas, where they caught up with Anthony “Rumble” Johnson after his 13-second KO of Glover Teixeira in the UFC 202 co-main event. Rumble talks about the quick finish, his belief that a rematch with Champ Daniel Cormier sis next for him, whether or not he has any regrets at not fighting at 205lbs sooner in his career and more.

It should have been 10 seconds but the referee didn't stop the fight fast enough. Glover was out after the ninth second.

Great Person. I like Cormier but i wouldn't be disappointed when AJ become UFC LHW Champ.

Cormier isn't as exciting but he uses what he knows best to win fights. Conor knew he couldn't just swing with Nate or go to the ground so he picked his spots just like Daniel will do to rumble. Rumble can stil KO DC just because that first shot he hit him with didn't doesn't mean it can't happen so

I'm sorry but he'll never beat DC. DC has way too much stamina and toughness for Rumble to even get past. Rumble gets gassed out by the 2nd round, and then DC uses his body weight on top of Rumble to wear him out even more, then makes him submit. DC's gameplan is that of a boa constrictor.

He has more power than mike Tyson 😀
No bro, Mike Tyson's fucking power is fucked
He KO's the top of the top with 10 ounce gloves, not sparring partners
No, Mike KO guys with body punches.
I dont think anyone in the history has more power than Mike but Rumble is sure as hell up there. Mike Tyson had alot more speed as well but he was a specialized boxer where as Anthony has to practice other things as well
Tizoxic94 i think George Foreman punches harder than mike tyson
He has more power than mike Tyson :D
Not sure about that, Tyson would KO people with 10 ounce gloves, MMA has 4 ounce gloves.

I think he could tile the nr 1 spot of the strongest puncher with Shane Carwin, but if you think that he's a light heavyweight it's just unbelievible that he can punch that hard
Melvin Manhoef is P4P the hardest puncher in history. He's a middleweight but has knocked out many heavyweights. He knocked Mark Hunt out in less than 20 seconds.

A lot of people don't boo Daniel just because he lost to Jon. A lot of people boo him because he tried bringing who is the better person between him and Jon into play during their press conferences and stuff. He actually said Yeah boo me but I wasn't the one who wrecked cars and everything during one of their press conferences. So that makes Daniel look like an asshole. Fighting isn't about who is the better person. It's about who is the better fighter.

Wow the reporter at :57 is fucking retarded. Why is he trying to stir the pot? The sport is built around bad blood? No fool, it's built around respect and sacrifice. Sure there's bad blood and conflicts, it's human nature but in the end the skills, sacrifice, respect and endurance are what really matters. Anthony Johnson is a class act and people are calling him out on it. I didn't realize being a douchebag is something to be celebrated and being nice is to be questioned but then again it's 2016 and the world is more ass backwards than ever.

You pose a pot of power if you cut that much. It was really unhealthy for him.

Why do these dark men like Anthony and Deontay Wilder get tattoos that are hardly visible
+TJ McDonagh Rumble is quite a dark fella, but you know that a lot of people get tattoos for their own personal reasons. He may not mind if everyone can see them off top. Definitely not trying co be argumentative though. Have a good one.
+AntoineMalveaux Yeah I weren't trying to get an argument started either, I know like my own tattoos it's all for expression, it was more of a tongue in cheek comment. mind how you go man anyway ✌
Why are you a cunt?
+Gareth it's what I do online Gareth it makes me smile
Because its hot.
Why do these dark men like Anthony and Deontay Wilder get tattoos that are hardly visible
+AntoineMalveaux you're wrong, being quite heavily tatted myself it just doesn't make sense as to why you would waste money on hardly visible scribbles, there was no racial motive behind it or anything just curious
+TJ McDonagh yeah it does seem like you're triggered to care about such a trivial, stupid thing.
+TJ McDonagh I don't remember anyone pulling the race card… Besides you, that is.
I'm a huge South Park fan as well, btw.
that uppercut was beautiful, set it up perfect with the long hook.

Man, I'd like to see "Rumble" hold the title; Just don't think he'll do it, though. His endurance has always been sub par, and there are those fighters who will skillfully avoid his early bombs to drag him into "deep water". Technique > Power
+Gamer Tone That was very hurtful thing to type, flamer bone. No need to get vulgar, and show everyone your true intellect; Or lack there of. Calm yourself, keyboard warrior. ("LOL")? You write like 12 year old girl text; Enough said. Get that chromosome count of yours checked.
+OrangeDiamond Barbarossa you just mad your wack ass post is dead and you wasn't getting any attention…gtfoh with your petty ass lol
+basslinin Cool story! Consider it dead, like you said…… After I already said it. (?) Now, use this time you've freed up to acquire an education to help with your writing, comp/lit, problem. Good luck!
+OrangeDiamond Barbarossa u sound like a cuckold…stop suppressing perv white boy
Haaaa this nigga got dumped on his own post lmfao

of not or
+Firstno way Bud, your non sense is barely legible, but I take it you think I'm disrespecting some aspect of a specific stylistic physical training approach…… and you're somehow in the same category as Anthony "Rumble" Johnson? Personally, my workout training regiment is centered around fast twitch motions/exercises/negatives/band resistance w/high reps/etc. I do distance running for career field PT requirements; Rucking as well. My original point, merely being that he appears to have a hole in his plan of attack via lack of endurance. Sua' Sponte.
+OrangeDiamond Barbarossa Da fuck?? lol
+basslinin What? lol… Seemed like I needed to break it down for ol' fucktard up there babbling about some random alleged jealousy and "blaming god"; On some typical keyboard warrior BS. Hopefully, it will help in the process of correcting his chromosome impairment.

anthony crushed the myth of anyone having an "iron chin" lol. no one has even really rocked glover horribly in the ufc. bader landed some bombs but glover fought out and crushed him. rumble came in tonight and stuck a paw out to measure about 3 times then took his fucking head off. scary. no one 205 and above is safe
Rumble landed flush on DC and sent him flying across the octagon, DC popped right back up.
He has a great chin.
+Shard Who else has tagged him, though? He's great at avoiding heaving shots. Those "great chins" tend to fade with wear and tear historically as well.
+OrangeDiamond Barbarossa That is true, still doesn't change the fact that that punch would have KO'd 90% of the roster.
The only 2 chins i haven't seen fading from taking shots are the chins on the Diaz brothers. They take a lot of damage in their fights and still have the best chins in their weight classes.
+Shard I actually train at the Gracie Academy via The 75th Ranger Regiment. The Diaz brothers have scar tissue in the eye areas, but keep the chins notoriously protected. Masters of their signature techniques.
+OrangeDiamond Barbarossa Don't get me wrong, i am a huge Diaz fan, but they get their chins tested every fight and that's because they are fighting at the top.

Pretty sure the myth of the "iron chin" was crushed long ago. But ya, caught him clean in classic "Rumble" fashion.
Fabio and Bader both rocked Glover in their fights. I knew that if Rumble caught him with something he'd go out. His power is far greater than theirs.
+OrangeDiamond Barbarossa David Tua had a iron chin.
+LIKEaBOSS Fitness The boxer? He never fought MMA; Not once did he have to endure a shin, knee, elbow, (combinations) or even a blood choke/crank forcibly applied to ANY part of his body, to include his alleged "iron chin". These techniques tend to open up a conventional boxing stance with devastating effects. Two very different games you're comparing here…. There are too many variables to even bother listing. MMA>Boxing
Lol that is why most MMA fighters start their careers as boxers but can't make it so they turn to the UFC. Now they can be on PED's and dry hump other dudes in the ass. Most UFC guys can't strike well. Even when they do land KO punches it is because of how UFC gloves have no paddings. It is much harder to KO somebody with boxing glove and even the worst boxer still has better striking than the best UFC Fighter. That is why boxers make far more money because Boxing is superior to the UFC.

okay hes taking the nice thing to far
LMAO brilliant comment but Rumble sounds genuine
Obviously you dont know much about him…its who he is
Be grateful, a guy with that KO power being an asshole is a bad combination for the rest of us.
Not all the fighters feel the need to talk their mouths out, just for the sake of entertaining this or that fan.
He's acting like himself. And there's absolutely no problem with that.
Rumble can sell tickets and PPV buys with his devastating knockouts. He doesn't need to talk crap. Not taking a shot at anyone who does either, but he doesn't need to push the envelope.

+basslinin I would. Alot of the shit talking is all fake anyway

Rumble is an entertaining fighter, always looking to take his opponents head off.
Cormier uses his lay and pray style too often, always looking to tie his opponents up against the fence and win on points. BORING.
Lay and pray are u stupid
+Demoniiiic
I didn't imply that it was unfair or not warranted. By all means, its a great way to win fights. But fuck me.. Corimer's clinch against the fence style of fighting is boring as hell to watch. And its no surprise that he gets booed a lot in his bouts.
+Adelita Phoenix he did KO big foot silva and submit Henderson I think against bigger guys he uses the tie up strategy
+Adelita Phoenix what do you think of Floyd mayweather
+Jared Davis
A talented boxer who's no fun to watch. I would lump his style and Cormier's into the same category. They found a way to cheese the game!

This is MMA Mixed Martial Arts not stand up. If you cant stop some one from taking you down then learn to stop them. Go watch boxing ffs
I like watching both of them fight. MMA has different style fighters utilizing different techniques; But, at the end of the day these are world class fighters/athletes performing.
