This fight is giving me the most trouble out of any fight i can remember. I want to give it to Huerta because of his size and his standup. But Kenny is so well rounded ?????? I am at a loss what do you guys think?

The rule to remember is the 3F Rule.

Florian Finishes Fights.

Florian has always been I fighter I want to dislike, but he just won't give me a reason to. Florian's game is getting better everytime i see him and I think he will completely outclass Huerta, who has never faced an opponent of Kenflo's caliber.

Florian TKO stoppage rnd 2.

This is gonna be a very sick fight with a lot of non-stop action. But Florian is going to wipe the floor with him and dominate him. He's better in every aspect of MMA except probably wrestling but Kenny's a BJJ Black belt. It will just be sick watching Kenny pick him apart and Huerta go down swinging like a true fighter with heart. Just Huerta is not as great as he could be yet.

If he actually developed I would pick him here but he just hasn't. He's been facing one dimensional bums pretty much until he finally tested himself against Guida but was still taking a beating until he caught a break and caught Guida. If he developed like Nate Diaz fighting better fighters each time and then faced Florian, I could really see him posing a threat with his wrestling. But he hasn't developed and is getting thrown to the wolves now. This man's going to catch a beating but is going to look like Rocky doing it!!! Much respect. He will definitely become one of my favorites if he goes down swinging and goes the distance!!!

Kenny 2nd round submission!!!

After watching Guida up 20-18 on Huerta after 2 rounds its hard for me to pick him against Florian regardless of having finished Guida in the 3rd.

I don't know that Florian will finish this fight but I have him taking it.

Huerta will be too strong for Floian to handle.

Huerta was almost finished in his last fight against Guida, and with how much Florian has improved i think he is much better than Guida. Florian has a better submission game and always improving stand up from training with Delagrotte. I see Florian taking this by RD 2 TKO

I'm going to have to go with Florian in this fight. I really like both fighters but Huerta hasn't really fought anyone except for Guida. We all have to remember also that Kenny finishes fights! But so does Huerta...lol! All in all I can't wait for this matchup.

Im going to go with ken flo. All thats making this fight difficult for me to commit on is the fact huerta is going to be so much stronger, and if he really wants to win he might just abandon his usual exciting style and just pin kenny down for 3 rounds. If he comes out swinging though i think kenny will just pick him apart and either finish him in the 3rd or get a ud.

Thing is i think that the only way that Huerta wins is by keeping it on the feet and brutalizing ken-Flo. If it goes to the ground he(huerta) is screwed. Kenny is to dangerous off his back let alone in your guard throwing his pattened elbows. I'm going kenny 2nd round TKO

I think Huerta is going to pull an upset and here is why I think he will.

- I believe Huerta has the better overall striking; he has a lot of power and a great chin
- I was surprised how Guida, a strong wrestler, had great difficulties in holding Huerta down
- Kenny is not know for his wrestling and while his jitz is great, Huerta has also shown some great submission defence
- Huerta is now training with Greg Jackson and his camp are full of great wrestlers

I believe Huerta is going to sprawl and brawl in his fight against Kenny. As seen in Florian's fight with Din Thomas, his boxing is not as great as his kicks are. Of course, I won't be surprised if Florian won, but I smell an upset.

You make a good point; even GSP is helping him train for this one.
