Default Why is Kenny Florian even up for title contention?
This guy is mostly getting opportunities because he was on TUF 1 and dana white thinks that makes him a household name and a star. He's far from being a viable contender. What about Spenser Fisher, Joe Stevenson and Joe Riggs, who just moved down to 155lbs. ? O.K. I'm kidding about Joe Riggs. Hermes Fraca is another guy that deserves a shot well before Kenflo. Oh, and since I mentioned Joe Riggs, who else would want to see another fight between him and the returning Nick Diaz? They even brawled at the hospital after the fight. I bet Diaz takes him out in the rematch.

Making a match between a TUF fighter (who the newbies know and love) and an old school fighter ( a fighter only known to people who have followed MMA for more than the last two or three years) is a win win situation for Dana white. If the TUF fighter wins the newbies are happy and the hardcore MMA fans will respect the win against a strong opponent. If the old school fighter wins then the hardcore fans will be happy and the new fans will have another fighter they can recognize and want to see.

I have no Frickin Idea. I hope Sherk puts him in his place. Zoolander is cool but Come on LW champ I don't think so. He is not good enough not even close.

Well unless a miracle happens and Florian wins, we get to see one hell of a war between Sherk and Pulver. That should be a battle. Maybe a Stevenson v Guillard contender match in the near future as well. LW division has some exciting match ups. RIP KenFlo

Florian is underrated. The guy has great skills, but im not sure if he can do any damage to sherk.

Florian is good, it should be a great fight. Whoever holds the belt after this fight will have a very tough road ahead.
