His style basically forces fighters to close the distance or shoot. It is quite impresive.

i think ken flo may have this one, i think the competition he has fought is better plus huerta seems to be a slow starter cuz he usually doesn't dominate fights till the third round, while florian usually wins in the first or second, but then again huerta is a very talented fighter don't get me wrong

i think kenflo will beat huerta. i don't think huerta has been tested. maybe once he gets a victory over franca, diaz, stevenson or other lw's he could be considered a prospect. i have kenflo dominating this fight.

Agreed. His win over Lauzon made me much more of a believer. Lauzon is tough as nails and Florian handled him easily. I actually thought Joe was going to win that fight.

Someone on this thread said his back was hurt.. which makes it even more impressive... I was kind of shocked how easily lauzon took him down. But Florian always improved his position at almost every time which was impressive.
