Here is another BuddyTV exclusive interview with Kenny Florian that I wanted to share with you that was just published on our site at www.buddytv.com.
Here's the direct link and a short excerpt below: http://www.buddytv.com/articles/ufc/exclusive-ufc-73-interview-mma-7882.aspx
Why don't you tell us a little bout your upcoming fight with, who many people consider, little known Alvin Robinson at UFC 73. How are you preparing for the fight and how do you see this fight playing out?
Yeah you know, Alvin Robinson, its kind of a tough situation for me, he's a tough fighter, not a lot of people know about him. But he’s definitely a tremendous talent especially when it comes to the ground game, very solid striker and very good wrestler, he’s good all the way around and a very dangerous opponent and he only has one loss to his record. He’s beat some tough guys, I think it’s gonna be a tough, tough fight. I think it’s gonna be tougher than my last fight and I’m ready for anything. I don’t where this fights really gonna go, I assume it will go to the ground definitely at some point us both being good on the ground, I’m sure we’ll hit the ground at some point. You know, it’s gonna come down to who makes the first mistake, in this fight I’m just gonna try to drag him into deep water and see who sinks first. I always try to make it a battle of wills, I’m gonna try to break his will, go as hard as I can, be aggressive and see if he breaks. I’m in great shape for this fight I’ve been training immediately after the last fight that I had with Mishima. I’ve been training, so I’ve been getting better in all different aspects and I’ll be ready for this one, and I’m looking forward to this, I really am.
Not that you’re looking at all past this fight, I know you’re not, but where do you see the future for Kenny Florian after this fight? Who do you envision fighting next, or who do you want to take?
Yeah you know, I definitely want to fight, not that Alvin Robinson isn't a big name or anything like that, but he's not a well-known name. I'd like to fight one of the bigger names in my division and try to work my way up to a shot at the title again. That’s my goal, I want to fight the best guys and hopefully that will happen, we’ll see what happens as far as what the UFC puts in front of me, but I want to fight another tough fighter and continue to improve, continue to fight the tough guys and continue to work my way back up to another title shot, that’s the goal. Get the title, be the best in the world and continue doing it, you know keep improving.
