this should be a good fight i think both fighters will be put to the test

Sweet. I’m going with Kenflo in this fight.

This is one is hard to pick for me. Kenflo is great but I think Huerta might have a slight edge with explosiveness.
Should really be test for both of them.

I like both of them because they push the pace. It will be exciting. I don’t see how it can go 3 rounds. I hope in this case that it doesn’t end from a cut from a Kenflo elbow.

kenflo is going to win
April 29th, 2008 at 9:18 am
yup i think huerta has an edge cause of his stamina and power but kenflo has been looking awesome latley and he is very comfortable on his back and is usually in good shape also

I agree that this fight can go either way. I’m going to go with Florian because I think he wants the title shot more right now. Huerta is going to school and balancing life so I would like to see where his head is at with MMA.

Huerta is a great fighter (as is Florian) But I give Huerta the edge in stand up and strength. I think he keeps kenflo from the takedown and beets him in the stand up.
Huerta TKO RD2 3:35.

Thats right I said beet him, with beets. No I mean to say Beat. Thank You.

its a tough one, but every time i think kenflo is going to lose he wins so i will go with kenflo on this one and maybe he will lose.

Me too I always count Kenny out because he looks like a dork, but man has that guy proved me wrong.
April 29th, 2008 at 6:17 pm
I too am at a loss for a clear winner of this fight. I love watching both fighters though so I don’t think I’ll be upset either way. I must say though, Huerta does a pretty good job of holding his own against jiu jitzu fighters. It’ll be a great fight. I hope Mark coleman beats Brock Leznars face into the ground. Leznar has no right to fight great fighters like Coleman and Mir. He should have to work his way up like everyone else.

Ken Flo’s most deadly weapon are his sharp and bony elbows in his ground and pound technique. Before the Guida fight, I thought Huerta was superb on the ground, defying BJJ specialists a submission. But when Guida took him down with ease and owned him the first 2 rounds with his ground and pound, I saw the weakness in Huerta. Ken Flo is the worst possible match up for Huerta who is coming off an 8+ month break to fight Florian who is coming off an impressive win streak since his loss to Sherk. Ken Flo will study the Guida fight and just take Huerta down and he won’t make the same mistake Guida did. I see it going to a decision with Ken Flo dominating all 3 rounds on the ground.

kenflo does look like a dork thats funny he looks like he should be mowing my lawn but he does come to fight
April 30th, 2008 at 9:12 am
I think this has the build up to be a great fight, both exciting fighters, they both definitely bring it and I am looking forward to it. I am also taking Florian either by TKO or decision.

Whodini, Kenny could cut your lawn using his elbows.
