Ken-Flo beat 4th place guy on TUF

And now he's being talked about for ANOTHER TITLE SHOT!!! Please stop the madness, Dana.

How many 155 lbers have had tougher competition and should be ranked higher/promoted better than Ken-Flo? All these guy have accomplished far more than Joe and should have been matched-up with Kenny: Frankie Edgar, Tyson Griffin, Clay Guida, Roger Huerta, Thiago Tavares obviously Diaz, Manny & Grey Maynard and of course Joe Stephenson, BJ, & Sherk. But the UFC, in all their wisdom, put Ken-Flo (who has already had one title shot and is being talked about for the NEXT title shot) against Joe instead of any of these guys???

Anyone else sick of the hype and demand Kenny start to fight real comp? Anyone else think a victory over the 4th place guy on TUF isn't all that impressive considering the 1st, 2nd & 3rd place guys were on the same card?!?!?!

He is the only one who has fought consistently tough competition with no losses except for his first title shot. I agree he should not be next in line but it's hard to argue anyone else is in front of him.

What about his wins against Din, Mishima, Stout, Robinson, Leben on the show (30lbs over his weight class)? I'm not saying he deserves another shot right now but after he thrashes Huerta in 6 months he definitely deserves another shot. No one has even come close to beating him since his loss against Sherk.

Kennys competition thus far has been lower than all 11 guys I listed.

And they all lost. You don't get a shot for losing a tough fight. You get a shot for winning.

Din? That wasn't a win, it was a knee injury.

Mishima? You're kidding, right? The 11 guys I listed above Kenny in the 155 lb division haven't had anyone this easy.

Robinson? You're kidding, right? The 11 guys I listed above Kenny in the 155 lb division haven't had anyone this easy.

Leben? Doesn't count for a 100 different reasons. Nice reach, though.

Thrashing Heurta? Hypothetical. Can't be factored in.

I hope they don't give him one he hasn't fought a good majority of the LW division in the UFC. All the guys you've talked about have been fighting it out and Kennys been on the outside. Give him atleast one of those guys before he gets a title shot.


Although honestly I'm not too worried about who gets a title shot or not because I don't see anyone in the division that is ready to take on BJ or Sherk. I think either one will walk over whoever gets the next title shot tbh.

No, I listed 11 guys in the UFC 155 lb division who have been more successfull and fought better competition- and thus should have been matched up with Kenny.

Joe is good and has a bright future- but if he's ranked 12 place- well, think about it.

Lauzon should have won TUF, that's why he was on the mainevent and Nate wasn't. He just got a big guy in Manny who laid on top of him for 3 rounds ala Sherk.
