I like Florini. Intelligent guy, extremely talented all-around fighter. I’m betting on BJ on August 8th … but the non-gambling part of my mind, the part that is not cold and soulless, is rooting for Kenny.

You must be a big fan! Florini? It’s FLORIAN! :)

Love or hate BJ.

BJ wins by domination.

yeah right bj is way overrated kenflo is gonna do what gsp did make bj look like a lil b"tch

by TheDragon on Jul 14, 2009 10:30 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Bad place for Kenny to be.

BJ will take his frustration out on him after the humiliation that GSP dealt to BJ.

Kenny might have been better off waiting for an overconfident BJ after a victory.

Magic 8 ball says…BJ via destruction.

last time guys
.
alright guys, UFC 101 is now upon us and as most of you know, 15or 16 maniacs have a luxury box for this event. We are also planning to have a nice dinner friday night followed by some gentlemanly fun! If you want to join us for dinner (either Ruth’s Chris or capitol grill) please email me! I think one guy misunderstood me for saying I was buying, I’m NOT! I don’t exactly have 2k laying around for dinner. Whether you’re in the suite with us or just in Philly, you’re welcome to join us for dinner. I also have 1 more ticket available for the suite.
kevjack115@yahoo.com
RSVP by friday so that I can make reservations!

I bet on Florini b/c I think he has a decent shot. Having said, that I don’t know how this fight will go. I’m assuming Kenny will come in with a stellar game plan. If he doesn’t, he won’t have a chance.

What could the gameplan be though? All I can think of is keeping his strikes very mixed and never let BJ get in a boxing rhythm.

Off for a short vacation. Have a good week, maniacs!

that’s just his Zoolander blue steel look.

Hahaha…Rocky 3 prediction. I thought he was going to say tire him out…Instead he went with “PAIN”…This guy is a great personality but I don’t know if he can get it done. This fight is up in the air for me. If Kenflo can wear BJ down in the first round or two Kenny can pull it out.

by Shadyone33 on Jul 14, 2009 4:16 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Florian is the dark horse of the UFC. He has been focused, dominant, & harnessed an amazing killer instinct for the last three years. He will beat B.J. Penn.

by erba on Jul 14, 2009 4:23 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

From your lips (keyboard?) to God’s ear. May Florian slaughter the bastage…

Unfortunately, BJ Penn is the real deal. Much tho I despise Crybaby J’s rich, spoiled arse, I cannot see how he doesn’t win this fight via utter, total destruction.

by BigRedOne on Jul 15, 2009 1:45 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

ALLRIGHT PEOPLE, i predicted bj wouldnt win a single round against GSP, AND THEY LAUGHED, I predicted alves wouldnt win a single round against GSP, again more Laughter, and i am predicting BJ wont win a single round against florian.

I’m really hoping florian wins. Bj is a lil bitch! He thinks he’s the sh*t and he ends up f*ckin up. plus I want to see a kenny vs diego rematch

by TRIKZ on Jul 14, 2009 4:27 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I would bet the house on Kenny!.. there’s noway that BJ takes this fight, he’s at a disadvantage standing and he’s too defensive and slow on the ground..

by RoB on Jul 14, 2009 4:29 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

lol, by disadvantage you mean knock out power in both hands and defensive you mean best jits in the game? then yeah I agree

by kevin on Jul 14, 2009 4:36 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Heh.

by Jeremyjackson on Jul 14, 2009 6:34 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

yeah that’s exactly what i mean, he thinks he’s better then he is and so do you!..

by RoB on Jul 15, 2009 8:40 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Thank you for seconding that for me. I was thinking man did I miss something. BJ disadvantage standing and slow on the ground…Wow even people that despise BJ know better then that.

by Da Monkey on Jul 15, 2009 7:49 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

On paper and in the octagan are two different things, especially with someone as versatile and skilfull as Florian, whos skill as a fighter, although not equal on paper, is definately as effective.If he lands on top of BJ and delivers elbows like Quarry did to McDonald, then just like McDonald, he is going to be in deep sh@t. I am a fan of both BJ and Kenny, but I am going for Kenny in this one. I think he has all the tools the intelligence to take out BJ. Although BJ will be stronger, as long as it is not equal to or exceeding Sherks then I do not see it being a factor. I think that BJ will have undestimated Florian, and will definately tire more than Kenny in the later rounds. Looking forward to it

by Ade on Jul 15, 2009 11:51 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

KEVIN bj WONT win a single round, lets make a simple bet, and see what kind of man you are, and if you really believe anything you post. If bj doesnt win a single round, never post on this site again. If BJ even wins a single round, i will disappear from this site forever. How about it, deal? you do think bj will win a single round dont you, if so take the bet.

by dtoto on Jul 15, 2009 10:32 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

kevin you and others are problably the same idiots who thought alves vs gsp would be competitive. all a bunch of know nothing MMA noobs.

by dtoto on Jul 15, 2009 2:45 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

are you serious or joking?

by chefdaddy on Jul 14, 2009 7:17 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

IM SERIOUS CHEFDADDY, if anyone who thinks bj wants to take the bet i will be happy to do it, if bj doesnt win a single round, neverpost on this site again, if bj even wins a single round, i will do the same. ANY TAKERS?

by dtoto on Jul 15, 2009 1:10 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

My prediction is for a very methodical, tactical fight on Kenny’s part in rounds 1 and 2. Almost Machida like. Than turn it up in round 3 hoping BJ will tire out.

by WB on Jul 14, 2009 4:30 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

WHOA…HOLD ON HERE…DID KENNY JUST CALL HIMSELF A ‘BITCH’ AT 1:15??!?!?

in all seriousness, bj is going to have to fight an extremely good fight to stave off the kenflo-hellbo’s. kenny is hungry, and by golly he sure looks like he needs to eat.

by Tid McConnelly on Jul 14, 2009 4:44 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

hahaha. he totally did call himself a b*tch.

Why does Kenny always look like a douche bag?!?!

“Coz I guess he’s one. But he seems too disciplined in martial arts for that.

you niggaz are crazy.

Kenflo couldn’t beat weak-ass sherk.

Sherk won by humping and bleeding on Kill-Flo.

by PW on Jul 14, 2009 8:31 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

funny…PW i heard that’s also how your last date ended.

by JB on Jul 14, 2009 11:17 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

It did end that way JB, but it’s not P-dub’s fault – Your sister’s a bleeder.

Tell your mom that sort of talk isn’t appropriate dinner conversation.

Nice simultaneous burn JJ!

by PW on Jul 15, 2009 12:39 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

LOL, what are the chances. Good stuff.

by Jeremyjackson on Jul 15, 2009 12:43 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

ooo…sister AND mother jokes? awww…you guys were made for each other. jj, the chances are pretty high when you are both making out to ken-flo promo videos. but hey, who am i to judge? as long as you are both happy.

by JB on Jul 15, 2009 1:24 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

isnt this video old…i swear ive seen it before

by mike on Jul 14, 2009 5:34 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

It’s really old.
What’s up with that? :|

by Natas on Jul 14, 2009 5:58 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

For some reason i think Kenny throws those elbows for an easy way out of the fight.

I think he looks to win the fight by a cut.

Just my opinion

by Pretty Boy on Jul 14, 2009 6:03 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Kenny has a stong shot at winning the belt … if that happens, expect BJ to leave UFC .. he is not one of those fighters who get pumped after the defeat to take the revenge.. just my opinion.

by commoner on Jul 14, 2009 6:07 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Im a native of Hawaii,

& Bj is a hero to us.

Hawaii will never produce another fighter the caliber of Bj Penn.

He has all the talent in the world, but lacks the drive & motivation.

Hopefully he comes in this fight with all he has cuz florian does have a good chance of taking this.

by Pretty Boy on Jul 14, 2009 6:11 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

no way bj even wins a round, no motivation, drive or dedication, hawaiians are problably some of the most unmotivated and laziest people on earth.

by dtoto on Jul 15, 2009 10:35 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

drive n motivation is key to any success. If u stay in the same circles, train and think in the same patterns then inspiration won’t flow and will stagnate. If one takes himself outside his regular circles and pattens of thinking, they may find upon returning to those very same disciplines with a new perspective and find inspiration in re-invention. seek n u will find my brother

by WayofTheWarrior on Jul 14, 2009 7:21 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

i cant wait for BJ to defend his Belt yet again. Sorry Kenny the master will teach you a few new tricks son.

Kenny by u.decision.

Florini is gonna outwork BJ and its gonna be a unanimous dicision

by Jimmy Hat on Jul 14, 2009 9:32 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

i tell you what, after hearing that, i am so glad that bj isn’t overtraining…

by JB on Jul 14, 2009 11:19 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

man, that hdnet anchor is a tool! he talks like a ring announcer for an interview.

by jack on Jul 15, 2009 3:05 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

BJ is gonna make Kenny bleed. It’s payback time for those elbows to the back of his boy Lauzons head. We may see BJ licking a little Kenny off his gloves.
