He must have been looking at the Sherdog rankings, which dont even have him in the top 10. Kenny Florian is definitley one of the top guys out there. The only thing is, he’s a toolbag. That is probably why he gets underrated.

 He just needs to bring it to Din, ands not fake drinking a sponsor’s product.

He is up there with the best of them..his BJJ is MMA official..beating Din Thomas on fightnight..will for sure put him on an official top 5 LW list.

Top10.

This is the chance he needs. Din is a tough opponent, but Blue Steel takes it.

I WOULDNT THINK HE IS UNDERRATED, HOW COULD HE THINK HE IS UNDERRATEED, HE FOUGHT SHERK FOR THE VACANT LW TITLE, AND PUT ON A GREAT FIGHT, HE WAS THE ONE PICKED TO WIN THAT FIGHT. HE IS A TOOLBAG, FOR EVEN SAYING THAT. WHINE WHINE WHINE, THATS WHAT MAKES ME SICK ABOUT SOME OF THESE GUYS

Anyone who reads Sherdog’s rankings and feels they carry any weight needs to have their head examined. I feel similarly with MMAWeekly’s ranking.
UFCMania’s ranking are much more plausible.

For some reason, I just can’t see myself ever rooting against Kenny Florian.

I don’t now who Blue Steel is, but I’m going to pick The Killer to come out on top via …. Nah, actually, I think Thomas will win. This is a very close fight to call – just like the Tavarez/Griffin fight. But no matter what, I will of course be rooting for Florian!

yeah that was the worst product plug i’ve ever seen, just put their logo on your shirt somewhere, dont fake drinking an obviously closed can. it looked horrible. i love zoolander though, hope he brings it to Din too, though!

HA! Sherk would destroy him…

Good summary on his expecttations… Let’s see it.

I’m a Florian fan for sure, this dude knows how to bring it. No matter who you put him up against, he’ll step up. I’m looking forward to an exciting fight. It’s great going in with no particular favorite for a fight and that’s how I feel about this one. I just want to see some solid MMA.

I think Thomas will break Florian’s arm and take it home.

Haha, Blue Steel…Florian looks like a fugly version of Zoolander

I think Thomas will break Florian’s arm and take it home.

..I don’t see Ken-Flo getting caught in a submission by Din.

Ken Flo just doesnt do it for me, maybe it was because he was acting like he was drinking a can of Xyience when he really wasn’t

I know I base my like/dislike of fighters on such issues. Who gives a shit how they fight as long as they don’t fake drinking/pimping a sponsor.

Ken Flo finishes fights and is great at 155. I don’t know he would state that he is underated when he fought for the title and gave Sherk a run for his money.???

pr0cs I was just making a joke, sheesh. Ken Flo is not a popular name in my book, I will pass. PLus Xyience is about to file chapter 7, so your pimping sponsor is about to go down the tubes, just like amped did

Kenny’s kickboxing is looking awesome these days… Super Sharp leg kicks etc…

If his conditioning becomes absolute, like Sherk’s…

He’ll eat people like BJ Penn, Stevenson, Fisher and Thomas. The reason I say that, is because I’ve watched a lot of his grappling matches and I’ll tell you, the guy is good. He’s comparable to BJ Penn is BJJ Quality.

If you doubt his quality, he’s grappled against guys like Monson, the Heavy Weight AD Champ. He did better than anyone else did against The Roid Shark Sherk, at LW.

If his body holds up, he’ll hold the title, probably next year.

Tall Skinny Guys with good BJJ will rule the LW division, and eventually FW division over at WEC.

Shame they don’t have a smaller weight class in UFC (Like they do in WEC) cos Kenny would rule with an Iron Fist

There’s every chance that his whole underrated thing is just a self-motivational tool.

Florian doesnt have to prove anhything to me. That is one tough NERD. Florian is a pure warrior and I true student of the game.
I dont see how someone can not appreciate his fights.

Florian vs. Din, way too tough to call

pr0cs I was just making a joke, sheesh. Ken Flo is not a popular name in my book, I will pass. PLus Xyience is about to file chapter 7, so your pimping sponsor is about to go down the tubes, just like amped did

heh sorry, i’ve seen some pretty crazy comments on here and it’s next to impossible to tell who’s being sarcastic and who actually is serious.

I agree with you 100% after you see his second last fight and see how close his leg was to being at breaking point and how he held on and then TKO’d the guy, that was amazing and gave me a whole new level of respect for Florian. His kickboxing has looked so sharp and so good the last couple fights and he already had, to quote Joe Rogan, off the hook BBJ. I hope Florian gets another shot if this whole title thing ends up in a hold up cause of the Roid Shark, I hope they get Stevenson and Florian to fight! Although as far as LWs go those are my two favorite fighters so I wouldnt know who to cheer for.

It’ll be awesome, gotta go with the flo though

I would love to see Florian fight Guida! I think that would be very entertaining!

ufc69inTX : COULD YOU LAY OFF THE CAPS PLEASE!!!!

Don’t forget about BJ Penn when discussing the vacant belt. He is expected to fight for the belt in November, whether it be against Stevenson, or KenFlo, or Din, or Thiago, or Tyson, or…

It was to my understanding however, that if Joe Stevenson beat Kurt Pellegrino (and he did), and Sherk gets stipped of belt, that Joe Stevenson will be fighting BJ Penn for the vacant LW title.

Its all good in the hood brutha

He hit the nail on the head. He isnt anything special holding a 7-3 record and no big name wins. If he beats Din… he will be there. Dont get me wrong, guy has talent, but…. 7-3?

Completely agree. though his three losses were against decent people:drew ficket, diego sanchez, sean sherk. thats in ten fights.no easy road. i meann i’d rather see 7-3 with those names then 14-0 with wins over ross pointon, elvis sinosic, that deaf guy who actually beat his ass, that drunk guy they found in the crowd..well the last one i’m not sure of that could of just been ross again.

Yeah not the greatest record but at least he has dynamic wins…some guys have a 32-2 record with much less impressive wins. I just like my fights finished in the octagon!!

Nice shirt Kenny.

I got the same one…

He has a big fight next week to prove himself

Yeh, thats the scenario that I herd as well. Florian hs the most improved leg kicks. He throws em like missles now.

I love it how all of you all are saying that KenFlo is not that great of a fighter because he is carrying a record of 7-3 with wins against no “big names.”

Come on, thats ridiculous to say a fighter is not that good because his record is 7-3 and he has fought no big names.

Look at people like Michael Bisping and Roger Huerta… Great records but never fought any top notch fighters.

KenFlo fought for the lightweight championship and got demolished, but that is by a fighter who is the best lightweight fighter possibly ever.

KenFlo is very underrated… when he beats Din.. He still will be underrated. Its sad.

For some reason, I just can’t see myself ever rooting against Kenny Florian.

Great point…

If BJ fights for that title… he is gonna hold it for a looooong loooong time. I dont see anyone outside of Sherk and maybe a couple of fast handed sluggers being able to beat BJ, even then you only get a maybe. He looked in amazing condition last fight… that guy keeps his current hard work thing going, he could hold 155 and 170lb titles.

Watch Zoolander.

I am a Mir-man Dad! Mir-man!

sorry..

had to throw that in there.

KenFlo to win via “The Black Lung” technique.

-To all who does not know what the Black Lung is, no it is no racial remark towards Din Thomas, it is where coal miners work in coal shafts for a long time, the dust and clutter of the coals will cause one’s lung to turn black, think cig smoking, but as a coal miner.

If BJ Penn actually trains and comes in prepared to his potential he is unstoppable at 155.

kenny florian aka blue steel wins this one. Yes he is under rated and should be in the top 10. Sherk should be in the top 3 but the last time I checked he wasn’t on the list, weird.

..I don’t see Ken-Flo getting caught in a submission by Din.

Watch Zoolander.

Sorry, never seen. Just seems like a movie way to corny to waste my time watching.

Haha, Blue Steel…Florian looks like a fugly version of Zoolander

And let me guess, Corky Romano is your favorite movie? (trust me, I haven’t seen that one either)

yes but jOE IS OUt with a broken jaw isnt he? I bet we see Huerta face BJ for the belt.

I like Huerta as much as the next fan but he still needs to face a top guy before being considered a contender. I would like to see him face the winner of tonight’s main event in a number 12 contender’s match.

oops….meant number 1
