| Is Kenny Florian Good? Entertaining?
He has the face of a kid who is an asshole to the smaller guys but a puss to guys who can intimidate him.
I dunno, he never really impressed. Has he beaten anyone worthy of mentioning? Are his fights even entertaining?
I find this Sherk-Florian fight very unattractive. I guess UFC thought their main event of 64 was so good that they can get away with this? I guess it really has been a while since there was someone decent at the MW of UFC....I wanna see Tanner!

I don't know if he stands a chance against Sherk. But his fights against Cope and Karalexis were fun to watch.

He's good, and his fights are entertaining...but I can't see anything else but Sherk totally overpowering him and destroying him happen.
But who knows. It'd be a huge upset if he did win.

it's hard to be "entertained" by someone like Florian who has probably the most bland look in MMA. most people fresh to MMA wouldn't give Florian a shot in hell against anybody. you have to actually know he has skills to be interested in one of his fights. but yeah, he hasn't fought anyone worth mentioning. Karalexis = no skills (heavy hands don't count), Cope = all stand up, no ground game what so ever, and Stout...well Florian exposed Stout for the amateur he truly is. i was not impressed with Stout after he beat a dehydrated Fisher by SD, and sure as hell not impressed with him after Kenny embarassed him badly.
i think his fight with Sherk will go the same way it did with Diego...Kenny will be over powered by the much MUCH stronger opponent, and beaten into "a living death" sorta speak...LOL!

I don't think he has much of a chance of beating Sherk ,but he's still a very good fighter and is definately exciting.

He's a hell of a BJJ practitioner, and pretty entertaining. I like him, but he looks like a tool.
I think Sherk is gonna kill him.
Speaking of Stout, I watched that fight for like the fifth time the other day (with him and Fisher) and I STILL think Fisher won that fight.

kenny florian is entertaining if you enjoy BJJ clinics on cans that cant grapple, and ridiculously sharp elbows

Kenny Florian looks like Ben Stiller.
I think he's pretty entertaining to watch. I think Sherk is gonna lay on him but i hope Kenny wins.

I find this Sherk-Florian fight very unattractive. I guess UFC thought their main event of 64 was so good that they can get away with this? I guess it really has been a while since there was someone decent at the MW of UFC....I wanna see Tanner! | Smaller guys? I don't think Kenny has fought anyone who's smaller than he is, and he has a ton of heart, Leben beating on his face but then Kenny pulling it through, same with Cope. How can you say he never really impressed when it sounds like you haven't seen any of his fights? I thought he was an absolute can when I saw him on the show, but he turned out to be a lot better than I thought he was. Absolute war with Karalexis, beat Cope and walked through Stout. I thought Sherk-Florian was gonna be like Sanchez-Florian but Kenny stifled so much of Sherk's ground offence that the judges gave Kenny a complimentary round.
