Florian has shown weakness against strong grapplers (i.e., Diego & Sherk), Huerta is a big LW and his wrestling is good enough to get Kenny down and control. That's how I see him winning that fight.

I think Kenny wins on the feet, I don't see him subbing Roger unless he stuns him or gets the mount.

And I don't buy into all the Florian hype.

There really isnt any hype on Florian, i think alot of people think he sucks or just dont plain like him.

I like your assessment, it may very well play out this way. It's funny: even with all the coverage of Huerta, I don't really feel like I can place his skill level. To me, KenFlo will be a great measuring stick for where he currently ranks amongst the LW in the UFC. I, too, am really looking forward to this fight...

Huerta is going to bring in his heart, composure, and athleticism as you said into this fight. Roger has some robotic striking and I don't think he's going to catch Kenny or take him down.

I think Kenny is going to put on a Muay Thai clinic on Roger with his ever improving leg kicks. From there he might take it to the ground and finish it there. I can see this being an impressive UD or submission for Mr. Florian. Though we can't leave Roger out. I think this is going to be a good fight though.

Florian will not finish Huerta... huerta is so freaking tough, however... I see Florian dominating this fight, also the fact that Huerta is a slow starter.
