well first if you are gonna keep records keep them right he was 3-2 coming into fight against sherk in his last 5. and the 2 losses were out of the lightweight division to hughes and gsp. and penn will rule the 155 division.

as for joe and ken. good fight ken standing joe takedowns and g and p.
neither can beat penn.

now as far as gsp and penn, wont happen till summer 09 in my opinion. gsp will fight winner of diego vs thiago. penn will fight winner of ken and joe if it happens.

#1 contender definately ken flo. he has beat robinson, mishima, lauzon, thomas, and matador. give the man a title shot. hes earned it.

and im not tryin to dog you wat does he mean by loss 2-3.

What is it going to take for Florian to get his title shot? After going 5 rounds against Skerk and losing a decision, he’s left out of the “interm” championship picture. The champ tests positive for roids and the guy who he could not finish doesn’t get a crack at the title? But they put in BJ Penn, who had lost 3 of his last 5 fights.

No doubt that Penn, obviously, is great enough to be a champion, but what are we keeping records for if we ignore them?

Since the loss, Florian has cruised through everyone in his path and is, unquestionably, the number 1 contender. Penn (and GSP) haven’t defended their own titles enough to justify a weight move as it is. Yes, this is a “superfight” and Yes it will sell large.

However to ignore rankings and simply go with the most popular fighter vs the other most popular fighter devalues the title and the concept of “champion.”

I agree. BJ beat Joe badly, so why does Stevenson deserve another #1 contenders fight? Let’s say he wins, do you really think BJ isn’t just going to give him another whuppin?

Unfair to Florian, but I guess since he said he wanted another fight soon he got it. If Kenny keeps it standing he will destroy Joe.

This match makes no sense to me.

Kenny is next in line for a lightweight title shot. If he loses here that is out the window. You can’t give the shot to Stevenson either because he just handily lost to BJ.

Florian can defend the guillotine, so he should be alright… The way I see Joe Daddy winning this fight is to utilize his strength advantage for some ground and pound.

I think Kenny has hit another level and he is just above Stevenson at this point. This will be an interesting matchup, but I give the hair length thin edge to Ben Stiller I mean Kenny by decision.

Bad matchup for KenFlo, its too bad he didn’t get a title shot (Penn vs GSP). I can see Joe as a younger Sean Sherk. Sure Kenny is a better fighter since the Sherk dominated fight, but Stevenson is a perfect fit for this matchup. A loss for KenFlo and a win for Sherk/Stevenson could put a potential matchup for Sherk/Florian 2 which will happen sooner or later.
