dude looks great. kenflo has his work cut out for him. Not gonan be easy.

Why is he going to beat K-Flo? Florian has better standup and good enough BJJ to not get submitted. It all comes down to whether Robinson is strong enough to continually get the takedown, which I’m betting he’s not. Also, Florian will not tire out, so his cardio better be up there as well. I’m prediction Florian to win in a 3rd round stoppage by TKO or Sub after Robinson wears down.

Ken can fight up or down, but I think he prefers standing. Looks like Robinson prefers the ground. Hopefully it’s an exciting fight, because they could easily neutralize each other — Ken trying to stand and Robinson trying to take it to the ground.

im surprised that all of this guys fights have been won by submission. he had some of those guys mounted and still didnt finish them off so i dont think that his ground and pound can be all that good but i could be wrong. i think that kenflo wins this one.

This is my upset pick on mmaplayground. Not taking anything away from Ken-Flo but who has he beat Sam Stout who didnt know what to do on the ground thats an easy submission, Kit Cope, Alex Karalexis and Dokonjonosuke Mishima. Im not impressed with Ken-Flo. He wont submit this kid and hes not gonna knock him out. Im takin Robinson big thats my money fight right there!

i hate kenny florian as much as the next guy, but i think in his last fight he showed a lot of improvement in his game, and i think if he fights on that level again, he’ll take it.

That video was really not very impressive. So this guy likes to shoot. Ken Flo has it in the bag. On his back, standing up, or on top Ken Flo has it.

Ken-Flo by sub , prolly in the 2nd … Plus I think prolly everyone you named could take A. Robinson imho …

I didn’t recognize a single one of his opponents on that video. In that division they don’t come any tougher than Sean Sherk and Florian opened him up like a can of tomato sauce and took the champ 5 full rounds. Kenny is a scientist of MMA and will take “the kid” to school.

Amen! Mr.Fye……Amen!

cool, i was looking for some footage on this guy, he looks pretty good, got some nice quickness with the takedowns, looks pretty strong too, i still think florian is gonna win this fight, he seems to get better in every fight and he looked like a completely different man in his last fight, i think he’s gotten his shit together since fighting sherk and getting out manned for 5 rounds, florian is no longer a sorry looking dude who surprises you with his ground game and heart, he’s now a fighter…florian by unanimous decision…

This guy is amazing in the ground but dont have any strikinig abilities… Im still picking Florian over this jack…

You know what….this guy is no joke. He king od reminds me Thiago Alves

all wins by submissions dangg but yea KenFlo has his work cutout for him n if it goes to the ground it should be a wicked fight with all the BJJ experience they got…

I can’t believe you guys are dumping on Zoolander because of this kid’s highlight vid?! I think Gaylord Focker could resist any one of those submission attempts and at the same time land some vicious elbows.

the guy looks good but kenflo will submit. Money in the bank. I have to root for Kenny. He lives and trains one block from me in somerville. haha.

This should be a pretty cool ground war.

Kenny was trainin with BJ Penn in Hawaii for his last fight, if he kept with that, I give it to Kenny.

I think Florian is one of the most overrated fighters out there. Aside from “surviving” Sherk, what merit does Florian have?

Because we all know after watching TUF 5, training with Penn makes you a sure winner….

Magnum looks better lol.

Kenny has be more impressive with every fight, I’ve stopped betting against him. The only thing he needs to gain is a bit more strength. Power is the only thing Sherk had in that fight, and that is what won it for him. Florian has all the heart, skills, cardio and the ability to take a pounding. He can only get better. I think he’ll take this one.

by Ade on Jul 6, 2007 6:46 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Looks pretty strong. Kenny will have his work cut out but as a naturally bigger guy (I think) I think he will be able to handle him. Looks a good fight

It’s glorious!

Ken if you read these posts please change your name to Blue Steel, not only is it hilarious but it actually has a macho sound to it. The only one with a worse nickname is Joe “J-Lau” Lauzon. Everyone knows J-Lau pronounced J-low is the nickname of Jennifer Lopez. I always refer to Joe Lauzon as Joe “The Giant Killer” Lauzon. Please guys make the change.

I agree completely. “KenFlo” sounds like a brand of toilet.
