Dana White talks Kenny Florian: [Dana] White initially was hesitant to give [Kenny] Florian a third shot, but K-Flo bounced back from the [BJ] Penn loss with two impressive wins. Though White still has his reservations, Florian would force his hand with a win over the undefeated [Gray] Maynard. "I like the way Kenny Florian fights when he’s not fighting for a title," White said. "Kenny Florian comes in with a completely different game plan and fights not like Kenny Florian when he’s fighting for the title. I think he’s got a title mental-blockage." "If Frankie beat B.J. again, yeah, that would probably be a good thing for Kenny," White said. "We’ll see how this whole thing shakes out." HT: bostonherald.com UFC 118 coverage

Takanori Gomi - "Just watch me create a ruckus in the UFC.": "I'm happy that my American fans are anticipating my debut in the Octagon. My fans are my motivational factor, and I want to display my exciting fighting style to them." "Kenny is good at using the cage, and well-versed in both striking and grappling. He’s a complete fighter, so it's hard to find holes in his game. It'll be a war, but I'm going to use all the weapons that I have against him." "I don't have a cage in my gym, but I understand that the cage can either be used for me or be used against me. I'll try not to think about the cage too much as I fight in it." "If there is a chance I want to challenge [BJ Penn], but my first fight is the most important... I would hope that there will be fights in the future better than my 2005 fight [Against Sakurai]. Just watch me create a ruckus in the UFC." HT: ufc.com UFC Fight Night 21: Florian vs. Gomi coverage
