UFC On Versus 6 Results: Anthony Johnson Bombs On Charlie Brenneman

Two major takeaways from the Anthony Johnson vs. Charlie Brenneman fight. First, the fight was stopped early. Period. Referee Mario Yamasaki was placed in a nearly identical position as in the Johnson vs. Kevin Burns fight. But rather than Brenneman hitting the canvas because he's totally out, Brenneman still had life left in him. He even gestured to the referee a 'what gives?' type of response.

Second, Brenneman looked utterly outclassed in the fight. He seemed terribly rattled by the physical strength and striking power of Johnson. His defensive maneuvering was more panic than anything else.
