Florian is gonna get SMASHED! :rofl:rofl:rofl This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected :yep
Going to be hard to smash Florian honestly. Leben hit him flush several times on TUF and never even buzzed him now obviously Leben doesnt have BJs skill but there is no doubting that Chris Leben is a freaklishly hard puncher maybe the strongest at 185. Kennys technique is good standing he doesnt have any holes in his standup. Hes became a decent wrestler we saw that vs Huerta and his BJJ is very strong its world class Blackbelt level. Florian has no weaknesses in his game and has that X factor being his elbows. IMO this is BJs toughest fight as a Lightweight.
Prodigy? i love that group. which brings me to my next point Florian is gonna use that diesel power and smack the ***** up.
"You're the best! No- you're the best! uuh uh- you are!:gayfight j/k two respectful dudes. On Florian and B.J- it's safe to say the favourite's definitely Penn. Just going on each guys performance against Sherk where Florian was overwhelmed and controlled by Sherk's strength and size, and BJ beat the **** out of Sherk standing (Because Sherk didn't/couldn't really take the fight to the ground due to Penn's size and high level of BJJ skill) you would think Penn will walk through Kenny. However, I think Kenny has gotten stronger and stronger after his loss to Sherk and will take a lot of confidence into the fight against Penn (and rightly so). As mentioned hes got great elbow and a great general standup game. I think his BJJ (while not as good as Penns) is great and he'll be very problematic to Penn. In the end I think Penn will win, but constantly pushed and pushed by Kenny who'll probably hope BJ has had an average camp and is not taking him seriously enough to be in top condition.. which could result in him gassing.. time will tell.
ive said it before, i get the feeling this is ganna be florians break through fight. id love to see bj rip him up though.
People are going to remember why BJ is considered a PfP top 10; because he absolutely dominates the LW division.
:deal The way he dominated the BJJ Blackbelt Florian on the ground was amazing. Also he took NO damage over 4 rounds with the 2nd best LW in the UFC, was never in trouble.
Did you see how easy Penn made that submission look? There was no struggling to get the arm under the chin. There was no wrestling around of the arms and gloves. BJ started delivering heel kicks to the body; then the split second Florian was distracted, Penn locked the choke. No chance for resistance, Florian could tap or he could sleep.
Florian took BJ's shots well up to that point, and did relatively well. Just didnt have the power to control BJ like GSP did. I respect Kenny more after that effort, the kid is all heart. Just a step short physically to takin the belt
I dont see how anyone could of thought Florian would win this. Did people forget just how good Penn is? Losing to a bigger great fighter in GSP is not an indicator to how guys at 155lbs can perform against Penn. Penn beat Florian easily and people needs to stop thinking that you just have to hang in there for 3 rounds and then Penn will get tired. I remember when he fought Sherk and people were saying the cardio machine sherk would out last Penn. Again BJ was never in any trouble v Sherk.
Sorry, Stoo, not trying to be a dick but I don't know why you're including my post in yours. I can't see a conformation or denial, so I don't know if you're agreeing or disagreeing. I was complimenting Penn's finishing move, which he executed perfectly.
