As far as chins go again we have not seen what Huerta can really take but
if you watch the guillard fight, he has an amazing chin. Guillard really beat him like a step child in some parts of that fight.

Florian is severely overrated, Guida would beat Florian hands down and Huerta beat him when he was losing, Huerta is going to get the next shot at BJ and lose.

Florian is no where near overrated he is more underrated if anything. Huerta is the overrated poster boy for the UFC.

I have to agree with you. I believe Florian is underrated... he's an animal out there and I truly believe he'll take to Huerta!! It will be a great fight, no doubt because Huerta has heart, but I just think Florian is at another level. I'm pretty psyched that this is the hot bout!!
Flame me all you want, but I also believe Florian wins in a rematch with Sherk hands down.
 ...I'll be waiting for it.

I don't know how you call a guy who fought @ MW and did well overrated, your sense of MMAath is a lil wacked. keep up that philosiphy and let me know how that works for you. At least back up your statement with some real facts if any thing Huerta is the overrated poster boy for the UFC.
FYI Huerta struggles a lil bit when an aggressive fighters bring the fight to him i.e Guida,Guillard. really look for ken to push the fight and ad Randy says impose his will.
I could not agree more with npayant
and chrismither
Just curious as to the how and why Kenflo is overrated?

I think the fight will be much like the first it really is not a good matchup for Kenny. With all do respect Sherk would Lay-n-pray for a boring victory.

I think its going to be a fairly even fight, but Florian will start to pull away later into the second round. I got Florian by 3rd TKO. I think Florians stand up has increased dramatically, and he will really be able to prove it in this fight.

I am still at odds with this pick. IMO its going to be Kenny by TKO or Sub, or Roger by UD. I just cant settle on one yet.

I always though that Huerta was overrated hasn't he fought only guys on their first fight in the UFC except for Guida and we all know how close he came to lose that fight.
Has anyone seen his latest statement on the ufc sites " I will never lose" wow i don't like when fighters say things like that its mma anything can happend. i really hope he loses that fight just for that stupid comment.
I have Kenny by 2sd rd Tko

Kenny is the better, more technical fighter at this point in their careers IMO. Kenny's striking is a lot faster and A LOT more technical, on the ground Huerta has the better scrambles, but Kenny has by far the better BJJ skills. Huerta has the wrestling advantage though, but it's probably close in that aspect.
Kenny UD.

i got huerta by 2rd tko. i think he's way to explosive for florian. florian is def maad good but huerta is def gonna catch him in a bad situation.

the sad reality of this fight is that neither of these guys will pose a threat to the champ, which really seems to diminish the hype. neither guy has a definitive overall edge against the other. walking into the octagon this is gonna be a 50/50 fight for kenflo and huerta. its really gonna be about who comes with a better gameplan and with a clear head. my predictions on how it ends...
if its florian: its gonna have to be a sub any round. lets be honest with ourselves...kenny might be a technical striker but hes got shit for power imo. he had lauzon mounted for almost 2 minutes and couldn't put the guy away (i still think the ref gave him that fight). hes a bjj guy and he should really be working for top position on the ground.
if its huerta: ud and very slight possibility of ko/tko. huerta has a really intense pace that he maintains throughout fights which i think will impress the judges. standing up i see him landing the more effective blows even though hes a little slopper than florian.
i genuinely believe that on the ground these guys are gonna neutralize each other. huerta's gnp will slow down kenny's sub attempts but not enough to allow either to gain an advantage over the other. kenny has a better shot at finishing the fight on the ground, especially if he puts huerta on his back. i think this one is gonna be a classic.

Both of these guys can give the champ an exciting fight. Their two top contenders, HUH?
