I thought it was funny how Florian tried to take BJ down the whole night and BJ tried once and slammed him on his head it was great.

I still think that in order to beat him you have to really push the pace of the fight to test his cardio and hope that you don't make a mistake that he will kill you with.

After seeing the weigh-ins and Florian with his shirt off, he looked like he was impersonating Don Knotts! WTF? He's got all the tools to be champion, just not the strength!! Sanchez and Sherk (again) will destroy him if he doesn't get stronger! Would someone tell KenFlo he needs to get in the weight room!

BJ did knock Florian around but one thing I noticed is he was trying to pull on Florian's neck, at times bordering on hitting the back of the head / neck, which would be illegal. Hard to tell, though. I think it looked that way because Florian would try to pull away. I thought at that point, BJ was missing some opportunities to connect with something else. Throw a kick maybe. “his punches threw kenny around when ever they exchanged.”

Definately shouldve taken a different route when he couldnt get him on the ground once by the seond round.

An argument could be made that Florian stole the second. But the fact is, Florian was seemingly using GSP's gameplan to try to wear Penn down. I wonder if anyone in Florian's camp ever mentioned that GSP had 20 pounds on Penn and is exponentially stronger so dry humping Penn against the cage isn't really gonna do anything. Florian had a piss poor gameplan and basically lost the fight before it even started. Penn easily took the first and third rounds. An argument could be made that Florian stole the second.

Same thing happened to franklin and he can't beat machida and can't move down kinda sucks for rich. What is kenny going to do beat everyone else at 155 be a gatekeeper to the title, and wait for penn to retire? It would be tough for him to make the move no doubt but what else can he do?

If this were 3 years ago shogun wins but it's not and he doesn't. I do think you are right about lesnar beating carwin but if there is one close title fight in the near future that is the only one I see. David Andrest, GSP? To whom does he lose the belt to? I really do not see any of these guys losing, which means undercards should be better (as far as excitment goes) then last nights if champs going to steamroll through everyone.

Diego Sanchez vs. Bj Penn is going to be interesting, even though I'm definitely favoring Penn. I noticed Penn was really controlling his explosiveness, he waited and when he hit Kenflo he hit him hard, his punches threw kenny around when ever they exchanged. Knowing Sanchez, if he comes out like a bat out of hell like he did in the Guida fight, he will fail, and fail miserably, Penn will take that fight no doubt like he did against Sherk, and play it smart and counter punch. haha im already saying it Penn def.

Reason? If we get a Pride era Shogun Rua at 103, we have a new lightheavyweight champion. The guy only dropped one match in that time frame. I'm aware this isn't 2007 anymore, but he was #1 only 2 years ago. I think he has made his adjustments to the octagon, and has the tools to beat him. It's all dependent on which Shogun shows up.

I don't think ANYONE at 155 is in the same field as BJ, let alont the same league. BJ, GSP, Silva, Machida, Lesnar..... I see no one that can give any of these guys problems. I know what you're thinking.... Carwin / Lesnar. Not going to happen. Lesnars wrestling takes the fight. I concur. I don’t think ANYONE at 155 is in the same field as BJ, let alont the same league.

Second and this is a little off topic but does anyone see any of the ufc champs dropping the belt in the next couple of years because i really dont. brock/carwin maybe but after that name a guy that is going to beat any of the champs.
