Must be the Italian brother of Kenny Florian
It's truly ridiculous to the utmost degree, lol. It's like a joke.Bro I like Kenny but that shit is hilariously silly
I remember Florian most for pissing all over himself in a fight and getting blackballed from MMA for plagiarism and becoming a meme.
Lolololololol IKR!!When I think of Bushido spirit, I think of Kenny Florini.
BigNig?Do you remember Big Nig XD XD. Don´t ban me mods, someone legit made a thread and didn´t know to say Big Nog for Minotauro Noguiera. I apologize guys in advance.
Don’t forget Michael BispeeKenny Florini? Did he fight around the same time as Ryoto Machida and Michael Cro Cop?
WHO WANTS TO SEE FIGHTS FINISHED AT 155? I FINISH FIGHTS
I liked Kenny. He was a great fighter and had some great fights and finished. Particularly liked the Guida sequence into the finish. It’s too bad he got blacklisted for plagiarizing smh
He was the prototype for later big FWs like Conor, McKee, etc. He's taller (but lankier) than Conor. He's probably the only guy in the UFC to fight at FW, LW, WW and MW.You are literally reinforcing what I wrote.
Connor was among the most extreme weight cutting featherweights of his generation. Zabit is famously enormous for the division.
Kenny had a substantial weight cut to 145lbs, by his own accord (and using your eyeballs and knowledge of weight cutting substantiates what he said) and he - like I said - had a tough cut to featherweight and it took a lot out of him.
He would probably land somewhere around the top 15% for frame size in the division today. Yes, that means the upper most extreme weight cutters would still be his size or larger.
He just randomly popped up in my head. I know he had 3 title fights and a bunch of good fights, but it’s been so long I forget his fighting style besides being a southpaw.
I just remember when he was fight week for Aldo. At the time it was kind of a big deal making weight for Kenny. He was considered big for featherweight and I remember he had to diet pretty strictly.
It’s funny cuz if I were to look at him today, I don’t think he’s particularly large for featherweight. IIRC he’s like 5’9 and not super muscular.
I also remember Aldo having some hard weight cuts at fw too. And now hes not even a featherweight for todays standards.
Funny how the game changes
Diego SanchezHe's probably the only guy in the UFC to fight at FW, LW, WW and MW.
Literally was going to post this. He’s literally on the front page of sherdog right now. Hes also still highly involved in mma (orgs, podcasts etc) making him accessible still.Funny coincidence
The MMA Hall of F@#$%&G Awesome: Kenny Florian
“KenFlo” was one of the biggest success stories of the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s reborn lightweight division, a fighter whose unassuming appearance and geeky demeanor concealed one of the most vicious finishers of his era or any other.www.sherdog.com
Good catch. Diego really had no business fighting above WW, though.Diego Sanchez
