I agree with Kdog 100%, but I would like to add that Stevenson probably knows this too. If Florian wins it will either be by “Huerta-ing” Stevenson, or by cutting him. As DaddyFan, I hope that Stevenson wins this with his professional heart, strength and technique.

Two great fighters. If this were a fight based strictly on ability I would give it to Joe Daddy. But Kenflo is a smarter fighter, so I think he wins this match up. Kenny is to smart to lunge in and leave himself open for a guillotine and that alone will cut Joe’s offence in half. I see Florian using his reach and kicks to score points. If he gets mount he’ll score with some gnp and use his jiu jitsu to counter any submission attemps. On his back he’ll tie Joe up to wait out the round. For Joe to win, he’ll have to do what Huerta didn’t- stay in front of Kenny and press him for the whole fight.Not Joe’s usual style.

I have even more respect for Florian, taking such a difficult fight when he didn’t have to. Karo could learn something from that. Stevenson should be thanking him for such a great opportunity.

BJ looks to be back to his old ways. Have another 4 scoops of gravy and 3 bottles of condomints on those potatoes BJ. I heard BJ was going to put on weight the right way this time. Yeah it looks that way, with his huge gut and all. BJ grew up a rich kid. He doesn’t have what it takes to be his best at WW.
I like how BJ said, take-downs don’t mean nothing to him. They better start meaning a whole lot to him, because he is going to be fighting the best take-down artist in the business. They also mean something to the judges and they mean GSP will be on top of him dropping bombs. GSP has improved his punching power a lot and he is much more effective at doing damage on top then he was 2 1/2 years ago.

True, however you can say the exact same thing about Griffin. In fact Griffan is worse. He has 5 decisions and 1 sub in the UFC and Frankie has 4 decisions and 1 TKO. I like both these guys, but FINISH a fight already.
