Name Kenny Florian's signature move (elbows) and win stuff

Kenflo signature move
Props: Bragster.com

Quoteworthy:

"You've seen my signature lethal elbow move and now I need YOU to name it.... Whoever I think comes up with the best name wins a prize pack, a personal thank you video, plus you get bragging rights."

Too bad it's too late for a contest to replace the "KenFlo" nickname.

The " I may cut you with my bony ass elbow, but I will never beat a true contender or hold a UFC title"-bow. The guy sucks. He hasn’t beat a true contender. Din Thomas isnt exactly the cream of the crop.

How about “elbow” because that is what it is….Yeah your a skilled fighter and better than most, but you have no title and if it wasnt for Din hurting his knee on his own, you were probably wouldnt of won. “you better pray its not Kenny Florian!” Give me a break,I cant wait for Sanchez to drop down and smash this kid. If anyone has the best elbows it “The Crow”.

This guy is such a TOOL…I mean I kinda like his fighting skills but his post interview last fight…now this nonsense. This guy was probably named most likely to be a huge PUTZ in his highschool year back. So…big deal he would kick my ass but he just tries way to hard to actually sound like a bad ass.

He should call it.

“THE ATHLETE”

oh wait, sorry I thought we were doing worst nicknames in the History of MMA.

Back to the Elbows.

I still think KenBo Slice is the best, because watch the Leben/Florian TUF fight, The Bow sliced Leben’s eyebrown wide open.

ACTUALLY I HAVE A BETTER ONE. How about…“The Elbow”. Kenny your not the only one that has elbows and throws them. Theres no nickname for your elbows. Everyone throws the exact same elbow…theirs just isnt as bony. Now if you do a flip , cartwheel to a backhandspring backflip and land with your elbow on his face then you can name your signature elbow move.

Only a real MAN like him can be as confident in his skills like him. So how about instead of kenflo, the….

MEN-stro-flo

How about a new nickname for kenflo to go with his nickname for his elbow move.

Mr. Florian, I’m gonna get on my knees like this. I came up with two great nicknames for your signature elbow (Flo-bo,Flo-blow). I deserve the f***in prize pack. I worked so hard to get to this point. Please gimme the prize pack. GIVE IT TO ME!!!!

by Colin on Oct 5, 2007 4:21 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Hellblow: His signature hit.
Hellblows: His signature hits.

Commonly used formats signifying devestating effects from Ken Florian elbow strikes.

I think these words are already attributed to Ken in the latest revision of the Thorndike Barnhart Advanced Dictionary. Live on UFC!

Thank you for saying that. It’s ridiculous, albeit good self-promotion, to say your signature move is something EVERYONE else does! Besides, some do it better. David Loiseau?

chris’ (or Lebon’s)nightmare

smash crash
head cracker
