    Did any of you spot that in the countdown? It's just sparring but still interesting.

    I thought that happened but I could tell at first with the head who was who until they showed more footage. Nothing real shocking though I mean KenFlo has some serious kicks I dont recall many headkicks in his career but his leg kicks and body kicks have chopped many guys down.

    Ive also noticed through the Huerta, Stevenson and the Guida fights how much improved Florian's wrestling ability is and I know hes started training with GSP in the last couple of years I believe its really paid off. Tomorrow nights Florian vs Maynard is a fight I find intriguing.

    Kenny is a more well rounded striking IMO with his outstanding Muay Thai skills but Gray has really good footwork, a great chin and damn good counter punching skills he may find a way to negate Kenny's kicks and turn this into a boxing match. I said Ken's wrestling has improved but he hasnt faced this good a wrestler maybe ever or atleast since Sean Sherk so im curious to see what happens if Gray wants to try takedowns and what happens if he does get it down because IMO Gray has never faced a guy with the Jiujitsu skills of a Florian and that includes Nate Diaz.

    Unfortunately for Kenny, I see him as the only one of the 4 without the ability to have a belt in 2 fights.

    BJ can beat the other 3, Edgar could beat BJ again, could beat Florian; Maynard could beat Florian and could beat Edgar.
