Kenny Florian was actually conducting a seminar at our school last night. I did not know this until after I arrived at the school, but it ended up working out well for me. He taught some takedowns, a little muay thai, and a couple of guard passes he likes to use in his fights.

He's a very nice guy, too, which is hard for me to say of a Sox fan. He's very slightly built, too. That's not really a surprise to anyone, but he's can't walk around at more than 175lbs. and I'd say he's 5'10" at most. I guess I always figured guys looked smaller on TV than they would in real life (pro wrestling syndrome), but he is just a very unassuming figure.

He did tell the class that he would be facing Huerta and that it would be for a title shot. I like Florian in the match. I think he's shown that his cardio, while not on a level of a Roger Huerta, is certainly capable and should sustain him throughout a fight with a great cardio fighter. Skill wise, I really don't think it's close; Kenny has shown much more of an arsenal in his matches in the UFC than Huerta has. That doesn't mean that Huerta cannot out strike Kenny or wrestle him down an ground and pound him, but Kenny is skilled on his feet and has superior jiu jitsu if it goes to the ground. My only real hesitation is that Huerta is now training with Greg Jackson, which I would count as a big factor if not for Kenny training with Sityodtong, which has been on a collective tear for several months now.

It doesn't matter. It should be a spectacular fight, regardless of who wins.

HE'S IN TEKKEN?

I just checked the IMDB for it. Looks like Cung Le might be in it too.
