Roger is a great fighter and I want him to win, but kenny’s not a ” cake walk” as roger said. Kenny is a great fighter. I think if Roger puts pressure on kenny he’ll take him out by TKO.

No doubt huerta will win this one, he’s a mexican warrior with a big heart.
He’s hungry, he’s dedicated and he has nothing to lose.

Look i give this fight to Huerta of one soild reason this guy and scramble and get the advantage when your not paying attention and he is not going to quick coming at you. look at what he did to Clay Guida, Clay came at him nonstop and in the end Huerta had the gas to choke him out and he did it scrambling out of a bad spot. Huerta can beat Kenny cause Kenny hates to be overwhelmed if you come at him a lot he cant handle it look and what happen to him with Sherk. taking down over and over again and that is what Huerta like to do come at you know matter what the score is or if you got a good elbow he will take the him and make you pay for it just like he did with Clay. KO in the 3 round 2:00 min

great fight and probably will be fight of the year contender.. Toss up in the striking game but i give the edge to florian.. huerta is the stronger and better wrestler but kenflo is no slouch there either.. on the ground huerta is an amazing scrambler and florian is a bjj black belt. Huerta’s heart will keep him in the whole fight which will be even most the way. Florian by u.d!!

political reasons, i dont think lesner should headline a ufc event any more than kimbo slice, the man is 1 and 1, i dont understand why this guy gets all the love for what might be, not what hes done, why doesnt dana sighn him to fight hillbilly jim for christ sake, if he tried as hard to make every fighter like he does brock he would have to cut the whole damn roster.

Huerta will get beat. He’s a very exciting fighter but he’s also reckless and fights a lil too gutsy. he thinks his “latino” toughness is always gonna get him through the rough spots in the fight so he’s just fooling himself. he needs to fight with some caution and patience. until he does, he’ll lose the majority of the fights againts world class LWs.

Oh, penn and sherk r only ahead of the pack becuz they’re both 2 oversized LWs. Penn looked about 180 in his last 2 fights and sherk, well, sherk is juiced up so that expalins that.

Florian gets the edge in experience, but he’s not invincible. Lauzon gave him more trouble than I expected. Huerta is comparatively young in his career, but he’s impressed me with his smarts and toughness in some legit battles. He has the ability to rise to the occasion. It’s a coin toss for me, but I’ll pick Huerta.

imo this is an easy pick- as much as I love Huerta, if you cant finish Leonard Garcia then you aint finishing Florian. Nothing against Garcia but Florian is on a different level.

good call on the matchmaker’s part. i’d lean towards ken-flo as the favorite but i doubt it’ll be an easy fight.

I would have to think Florian in this one too. Unfortunately for him, it means facing BJ

I’d disagree, I reckon that Florian is now on the cusp of that next level. He’s improved ridiculously since Sherk’s l’n'p domination, and I could seriously see him giving Sherk some problems.

Oh BJ and Sherk are head and shoulder above EVERYONE in the UFC. By a huge margin.

Florian or whoever can handily be 3rd but have ZERO chance against Penn and Sherk. It’s a ridiculous dropoff. Like the UFC has two top tier lightweights but then they have almost everyone ranked 12-30 in the world. No one has a chance against Sherk or Penn. Florian, Stevenson, name anyone. It’s Penn/Sherk winner and then every single other guy way below.

Florian will win but as long as Sherk and BJ etc are around he’ll be the Franklin of the LW division…almost but not quite good enough.

BTW, for the record, BJ subs Sherk in 3.

I give Florian the edge, but if Huerta can find a way to win, even if it’s a split decision, it would set up a pretty huge fight with BJ Penn. No way on God’s Green Earth he beats BJ (Florian actually has a better chance winning vs Penn— via a stoppage due to a cut– then just about anyone else in the division), but the marquee value to Penn/Huerta would be immense.

I don’t think Florian will have his way against Huerta. He’s going to have to claw his way to a win, war of attrition style. It probably goes the distance and whoever can close out the fight on top will take it. Florian’s probably got the cardio edge, maybe he’s a little cagier. But this one’s a close call. Should be a barn burner.

What is awesome is that along with Lesnar v. Coleman there will most likely be a title fight headlining the event. Apparently Lesnar won’t headline due to “political reasons”. I guess that means, if Lesnar gets main event status when he is 1-1 against a 43 year old then the rest of the fighters under UFC contract will collectively shit a brick.

UFC 87 looks mighty tasty.
