There is no way that Florian “dominated” Huerta in that fight. Granted, he came with a great game plan, but all he did was eek it out. Huerta came to FIGHT, Florian came to dance. Florian is a douche for bringing up shit and not knowing if he’s sure.

here is no way to prove it, but I would have to agree; he should know the difference, or know when something is unusual. Isn’t that part of applying the experience that a fighter has attained over the years?

Ran a clinic? Whatever. Im so sick of people saying that Huerta got his ass kicked. I personally could have seen that fight go either way until the last 10 seconds when Kenny landed some good combos… neither was ever hurt. No one took an ass whoopin. And no one ran a clinic. It reminds me of when I was in high school and people would always act like their friend won a fight… when it wasnt even like that.

it simple VM when you have a good wrestlers that knows decent BJJ against a poor overall MMA fighter/great BJJ artist(in this case crane being and jits fighter with lil overall skill.) ive seen soo many time in grappling contest..a wrestler will mostly like get submitted by a bjj artist…but when you teach that wrestler a decent jits game, then you have trouble as a jits guy…we all know wrestler are very fast paced great conditioned athletes. he will be able to defend alot better, defend jits sweeps and inside take downs. the wrestler will be able to out work you..constantly adjusting positions. shifting weight, moving your upper torso, out muscle wrist control. when you have a guy like that…you need to be a BJJ artist world class and on top of your game 24/7….remember crane had taken a long break and was 2003 bjj champion (correct me if im off). some fighter are just amazing scramblers…sanchez,bj penn,huerta, tyson griffin, clay guida, nate diaz, gsp, anderson silva, rich franklin, henderson.most of these guy have never been submitted by your everyday jits guy that know mma..they were submitted by elite grapplers that have mastered the art of adjusting their game to MMA. some ppl are just not meant to be held down by an almost one dimensional fighter

This entire thread is a moot point.

Huerta lost. Ken won.

Let’s move on…

Yeah Rob, I’m not disagreening. Like I said, I’m not saying Huerta cheated. I’m just saying I’m sure Kenny is being honest about what he experienced.

The problem I have with Ken-flos comment is that it came 2 weeks after the fight. If he really thought Roger was greased or something, he should have said something about it when Joe was interviewing right after the fight. Instead he kissed Roger’s butt and said he had nothing but respect for him and how tough he was. If I was so sure something wasn’t right I wouldn’t be telling a guy how much I respect him after the fight, I’d be calling him on it!
