Is all I can say in regards to KenFlo vs Huerta. That is going to be One awesome fight, and I agree with whoever said its the main event. GSP kicks serious butt, and I don't see a loss for him in 87, much less a big challenge at winning. Now the KenFlo/Huerta fight... man. I'm a Huerta girl all the way, but I'm nervous about the fight with Flo. Flo ain't no joke. This will be a true testament to Huerta's heart. All in All... I think Huerta's got it.

Pulver's heart and Penn's lack of conditioning caused his only blemish at 155 (don't get me started on his draw with Uno which is a complete travesty) which he avenged last year. Beyond that, he has destroyed or easily beat any 155er put in front of him. I don't see that being any different in the case of Florian or Huerta. BJ Penn has always been nearly unbeatable at 155.

IMO this is the main event. they are both really good fighters , it's just that BJ is on a level of his own. this is the fight i am looking forward to the most. i don’t think that this fight will be short. i expect to see a 12 – 15 minute war.

Florian could win by stoppage due to cuts only and Huerta would need a foreign object. I think Florian has a slight edge vs. Huerta, but Penn/Huerta would have a lot more marquee value. It would be worth it for Penn to crush the number #1 contender before he moves up to fight GSP. It would give GSP the time to get past Fitch and perhaps even Alves (if he beats Hughes). But he shouldn't wait longer than that. They are both in their prime right now and before any freak injuries screw this up we need to see them fight. I think Penn/GSP is the greatest match up in the history of MMA. They are 2 of the top 3 P4P. Penn: best jits in the game. GSP best functional wrestling. As for standup, Penn has better fists, GSP better kicks. If you were to genetically design a modern MMA fighter it would be GSP. But Penn might be more talented. BJ's focus nowadays is something to behold. I might give him the mental edge. But GSP has never been tougher after rebounding from Serra. I would predict Penn takes him with a late fight submission. But that's a big if and I'm biased in Penn's favor. This fight better go down in the next year. It's far more important than Randy Fedor in my opinion. Neither have a snowball’s chance against Penn.

He looks a little gassed deep in the second. I think if you get him to the late 3rd/early 4th, he is extremely beatable.

The guy is beatable. You have to wear him out. You have to go out there and out-will him”" So people still actually think that B.J. hasn't completely turned his conditioning and head game around? That's a mistake Huerta, biiiiiiiiiiiig mistake. “I’m going to do what Matt Hughes did and what Georges St. Pierre did. The guy is beatable. You have to wear him out.
