UFC TUF 6 Finale: Kenny Florian will join Rogan and Goldberg during main event (Audio)

Props: JarryPark.com
Quoteworthy:
"[Kenny Florian] will be making his broadcasting debut for Spike TV at the TUF 6 Finale this Saturday night, he is looking to fight again in February or March ... he is about to sign a new six-fight contract with the UFC which will kick in once his current deal runs through (he has two fights left on his old contract)."
Some details regarding the status of top lightweight contender Kenny Florian were revealed in a recent audio interview. Roger Huerta and Clay Guida will square off in the main event this weekend at The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 6 Finale on Saturday, December 8 from The Palms in Las Vegas, Nevada. We speculated last month that Florian could face the winner of the 155-pound bout sometime in early 2008 to determine a number one title contender. His presence in the announcer booth at ringside might lend more credibility to those assumptions.

I think that the winner of guida vs. Huerta should square off with Florian to determine the #1 contender to the title. Also we will get some clarification today, when we learn the resuklts of sherks drug test appeal.
Personally, I hope he is suspended. So many more exciting fights will take place if Sherk is out of the mix!

Once Sherk is suspended, lord willing, Kill-Flo should fight the winner of Penn-Joe Daddy for the title. He’s beaten enough of the up-and-comers to deserve a legitimate shot at a non-performance enhanced champion. As far as him being in the broadcast booth, I think it’s a great idea. He’s bright, articulate, and can probably think of more insightful phrases to describe the in-ring action than ‘Wow, that guy is an animal!’

we should know by this afternoon..
This is almost taking as long as Sherks takes to finish an opponent.
Is KenFlo really sitting on a croc??..if he is..something is wrong with him.

The croc was sitting on him a minute ago, but Kill-Flo reversed and took its back.

i think kenny could beat both of them, i see the fight happening in march maybe april, who ever one he fights should have fight of the year mention

I think Edgar deserves a shot at Florian for #1 contender. The guy has wins over Fisher and Griffin, which puts him above both Guida and Huerta in my book.
Not that i’m complaining, cause either of these guys vs Florian would be a great fight. I’d say he’s the most improved tuf fighter.
on a side note, I wish Din hadn’t blew his knee out. that would have been a damn good fight

I agree 100%, and was basically going to say the same thing. Kenny has proven time and time again that he is no worse than #3 in the UFC LW division. I remember back in season one of TUF, KenFlo was the best at analyzing the fights at the beginning of each episode. And whenever the cast members would be talking, Kenny always seemed to be the most knowledgable (I believe they watched a PPV while in the house, but I can’t remember for ceratain). I am actually really looking forward to Kenny’s broadcasting debut. I still don’t know how people can be hating on Kenny.

In TUf season1 they all saw the ufc event that Hughes armlocked GsP..Chuck and Randy was chillen with them on the couch..I thought that part was bugged out..picture you some friends and Randy and Chuck just chillen out watching a PPV event like its normal..the ufc was sneaky..having the TV set come out ground.
KenFlo is broadcast booth ready. He knows what the F he is talking about.

Someone woke up on the wrong side of crazy this morning. Houston Alexander? the man is as engaging in interviews as a bowl of cold oatmeal.
Kenny will make a great addtion to the commentating. I just wish they would put Mike G. it the basement or anything off the mike so I don’t have to hear comments like
“You know Joe, this UFC thing is really pretty cool, huh?”

Kenflo should be fighting BJ for the interim title. But hey, Joe’s not half bad.
Mania, you need to check this out for real:

I mentioned this like two days ago..in a thread. I for one think it is as much of a mma story to put up here then any other. I’m surprised the death of Sam Vasquez after he sustained injuries in a mma fight DIES a few weeks afterward.
The medical examiner still hasn’t directly linked his death to the fight..where there might of been a pre existing condition or something. Texas will not outlaw MMA I’m sure..the event was sanctioned and was far as all reports nothing that the organiztion can be blamed for.
I feel this as tragic as it is..will not bring down the MMA..when I think since the 1800’s they have about 500 deaths associated with boxing.

I second that! And get rid of Bruce Butt Buffer. Im tired of hearing his horrible announcing.
“Introducing the fighter in the blue corner. He has a mixed martial arts record of 27 wins and 6 losses. He is…..The U….F…C……………Liiiiggghhhght……………….Heavyweigggghhhhtttttt……………..Champpppiiiiooooon……………ofthe world.
God he sounds so annoying!! They need to bring the Pride FC announcer with the blingin chains and shades. That dude was a pimp!

the pride announcer had me hyped to see a fight. at times outside the fight..the ufc event is boring..I liked it when in the opening cermony all the fighters would come out..the vibe was more uplifting..the ufc generic songs..and vibe is like blah…just the fighters..and the fights keeps me watching.

Aboslutely Stunnalator, Bruce Buffer must go! It sounds like he swallowed a jar full of cottonballs. The WEC annoucer isn’t terrible, though he overuses the phrase, “this fighter has tasted defeat only _”
Back to Kenflo (he should think of upgrading the nickname), I don’t know how someone couldn’t like the guy. He has improved so much over the years and become such an entertaining fighter. I am glad to see him receive some success

The UFC really needs better commentators so it’s nice to see them continue to have fighters commentating. I dislike Rogan & Goldberg for a lot of reasons but the biggest beef I have with them is that neither one is qualified to do color commentary. Only a fighter (or former fighter) is qualified to do that.

Nah they had a crazy asss woman that announced them as they came out, but inside the ring was the KING OF ALL JAPANESE PIMPS!! On to PHIL NY’s comment…i liked the way they brought all the fighters out also! Definately made u ready to watch some ass whoopin!!

How many times have we heard " Hey joe, how worried should he be about that bloody nose?“(Joe)” Well the bloody nose forces him to breath out of his mouth which leaves him more seciptible to concussions"(goldberg)" You know were pretty annoying arnt we?“BAMM RANDY COUTURE PUNCHES THEM IN THE FACE (randy)”Go back to fear factor, Rogan" Then he spartan kicks Joe in the chest.

The UFC should get Bas Rutten as a commentator. He is probably the best commentator ever in mma. He was funny, cool, he explained all the escapes for submissions as they happen, and he has credability. He is a cool ass, drunk dutch animal! I dont know what type of relationship he has with the UFC, but I wish they would consider bringing him in the broadcast booth, although I dont see it happening simply because he is such a huge part of the IFL and Dana wants his employees to work exclusively for the UFC.

Frank Mir does a great job with the WEC fights, especially when they go to the ground. He usually calls a submission about 30 seconds before it happens because he can see exactly what the eventual winner is setting up and whether or not the victim can escape it.

NO matter wat happens from now until Sherk comes back, sherk will be the Champ once again, his just one step ahead of everyone else, steriod aligations or not.

I will never forget that moment, WTF! What was it, like 3 PPV’s ago?
As far as production goes, PRIDE takes the cake.
Bas Rutten – best commentator in MMA
Stephen Quadros – Whoever mentioned his name, please never do so again. The ‘Fight Professors" stupid retard faces anger me enough. His face should never be shown while people are talking, he stares right at them. He’s as loopy as they come
Frank Mir – Does an excellent job commentating for WEC. He obviously REALLY knows his BJJ and I love hearing him explain it.

KenFlo has been in dire need of a new nickname for a while now. How about “Crockodile Kenny”? or Kenny “The Killer Crock” Florian?

LAME. How about, Kenny “Nose Peeler” Florian. That cut he caused was pretty sick.

Since everyone is calling out such terrible nick names let me add a few. How about ‘Kentastic’ or ‘Oh my god they got killed by Kenny’ Florian. I’m going to need a douche for my eyes after reading all this garbage.

I agree that Mir is a great commentator, hes very clear when he explains the ground game, and hes funny in a weird way like when he says “thats not very smart” he actually is talking shit in a polite way kinada like randy saying that “the fetal position isnt a good defense” lol those are hillarious remarks but there not trying to be funny

Kenny will take Randy’s place watching Goldberg inch closer to Rogan while Rogan talks looking off into space because he is so uncomfortable with Goldberg looking into his eyes like he wants a kiss. Meanwhile, Buffer will be busy putting on his makeup instead of watching the fights getting ready to use his bigboy voice to announce the next fight as he jerks and introduces the fighters in the most annoying fashion possible. I guess I never noticed if Rogan was any good or not because I’m still cringing at whatever Goldberg just said, plus trying to repair my tv after I threw something at Buffer’s face.

Actually it was kind of a joke regarding the STUPID picture at the top of the thread. Maybe one day you will grow up, stop watching South Park, and learn to grow yourself a sense of humor!!!!!!!!! Now THAT’s a Kentastic idea!
