gtp Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Ok, I really didnt pay attention to this fight as much as I should have, but from what I saw, Ken-Flo was bein a sissy and trying to lean on BJ. I dont get it, Kenny is soo much better than that. Anyway, no. Even if he had the entire U.S. Military behind him, BJ was unstoppable that fight. Nothing was going to stop him. In a year, ya I can see Kenny winning, when BJ gets lazy again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BESERKER Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 ... Florian has no power ... no upper body strength, he wanted no part of standing w/ Penn & he didn't have the strength to neutralize BJ on the ground, he was hesitant to kick fearing he would be taken down . Look at the way he pounded-out Lauzon ... he throws punches like a girl . He even looks a bit frail ... Florian was not competitive in the Penn bout & he was crying on the way to the dressing-room w/ no post-fight interview ... if you can't beat the best, you can't be the best ..... & Samurai's don't cry !

If they fought 100 times it would end the same way 99 times, the 100th would have the fight stopped from Florian bleeding buckets from his (rather large) nose aftyer BJ broke it with a punch.

BType13x2 Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Kenny was in no way ever winning that fight. He leaned on BJ and BJ let him do so because kenny was using so much energy while doing that and BJ was resting. BJ could have at anytime taken Kenny down but wanted to knock him out. You can if you wanted to watch the fight and pick out the exact moment where BJ said, "Screw it I'm submitting him" because 5 seconds later the fight was on the ground and then it was over.

BJ has been using those heel kicks for a while now. Sometimes they actually do lose him the back mount....ie..Penn Uno II. Either way its classic and I loved it. No way Florian will ever beat Penn.

Exodus9mm Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Not true...the OP thinks that Florian was gonna win too. =P I'm not arguing your points, just the fact that you have a picture of Norifumi "Hack" Yamamoto as our avatar. I just wanted to direct you to a video of Mike Zambidis telling "Kid", how it is...... Yamamoto, lol. Please see this. We witness one of the best KOs in K1 ever at :41. On a side not, there's no way in hell Florian would beat Penn. What idiot posts a thread like this so shortly after we witnessed the answer to this question? Come up with something original. Penn schooled Kenny, and would do so repeatedly until he decided he'd had enough fun. Kenny Florian, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amateur Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Kenny came out with a plan that obviously did not work and chose to stick with it. His kicks were too obvious. He should have setup his takedowns with more conbinations. He spent way too much time against the cage where BJ was confortable. It was said many times before the fight that Kenny couldn't really beat BJ anywhere, except in point striking. Even then he never made good use of his reach advantage.

JujitsWho Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Wasn't this question just answered at UFC 101? Kenny is a great fighter, but when BJ is in top form I don't think anyone in the LW Div. is going to beat him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BioHazard8021 Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Huh?didnt sanchez beat the snot outta kenny once already? Yes he did, but that was 4 years ago and the fight was at 185. But if their recent fights are any indication of their skill, i have to think the outcome would be the same, just slightly less one sided. I also believe that anyone at any given time has the potential to beat anyone else. Clay Guida could beat Cain Velasquez if the conditions were right (i.e. Cain has pnemonia, etc.) Forrest could've beaten Anderson if Anderson was having a bad day, and Forrest had a better plan. The same could be said for Lyoto vs Bonnar, GSP vs Serra one, hell, any fight could've gone either way in any fight, ever. Say Royce got punched really hard in the temple by a good boxer with hard knuckles in his early days. It could've ended there. My point being, Florian could've won that fight, he could've come away with a decision if the fight got to the end of the 5th round. Diego can also beat BJ, and this observer believes it to be more of a possibility than some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xhojin Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 I do think Florian could beat BJ. I don't really know what the hell he was doing at 101... because he (Florian) fought like an idiot and tried to wrestle, like GSP did, rather then staying outside with his kicks and reach. Kenny's game plan was crap on that fight. He is too small to fight the way GSP fought and i don't know what he was thinking. He did win at least 2 rounds though. It was boring, but he won at least two rounds on octagon control and dominant position. Maybe he just planned to out point Penn and take a boring win?? ... which was still a bad game plan because he is smaller then Penn and wouldn't be able to tire Penn out.. instead he tired himself out. Sigh...such a dumb gameplan.. But ya.. if kenny used his strengths rather then trying to copy GSP's game... he could pull a win. Would be a tough fight, but he could do it.

He isn't and will never be the calibur of BJ Penn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
