I agree Florian has a great chance to dethrone Aldo. I know some fans think this fight is a sure thin, but I personall expect quite close fight and if Florian is on his game a win would be no surprise. Could be value if you're a gambling ma.
Now McGee's the expert? Anything is possible but Florian is the Buffalo Bills of MMA, most title shots and zero championships to show for it.
Like it or not, but Kenny always chokes in title matches
kenny will never be champion next stop bantamweight
Florian has always had problems with big powerful wrestlers and Aldo is no wrestler. I think Florian has a real chance at winning this fight because he has been fighting top competition for along time and has all the tools and experience to dethrone Aldo. I give it to Florian.
So I guess Randy is out and Court is in for the Affliction predictions eh?
If it's for a title, Kenny ain't winning.
Kenny does have the tools to beat Aldo but Aldo will be quicker and more explosive imo. You guys saying Kenny won't win a title, that's a bit harsh i think. I mean, Kenny is a small guy man, even for a LW and it showed the first time around against Sherk, that guy was twice as big and twice as strong as Kenny and just kept taking him down over and over. His second shot against Penn he was just out classed by a better fighter. At FW i think he will have a much better shot. He should actually be one of the bigger guys in that weight division now and considering how good he was at LW i don't understand what makes people think he won't succeed at FW. He beat a lot of great LW's man including Sanchez, Stout, Huerta as well as smashing Guida. Beating Also is a BIG ask but i still think he will be more successfull at FW.....
