Kenny "The Machinist" Florian

Kenny currently has one of the worst nicknames in MMA.
After his last fight, at LW, i thought he looked like Christian Bale in "The Machinist."

http://www.imdb.com/gallery/ss/03618..._373_.jpg.html

Anyway, "The Machinist" is a way better nickname than "K-Flo" so I am going to be referring to him as Kenny "The Machinist" Florian from now on, let me know what you think and feel free to do the same.

I've seen that movie, as I am a Christian Bale fan, but I have always wondered, when he was all crackhead-super bony skinned looking, was that due to the CGI/Graphics, or did he really lose all that weight for that part in the film?

Im guessing it was due to CGI/Graphics...

Anyone know?

He lost the weight. Apparently was eating next to nothing.

Went down to 120lbs for The Machinist, and then bulked up to 220lbs for Batman Begins, that is some dedication right there.

kenny florian sucks. he looks like a queer ben stiller. please dana!! dont sign his weak ass anymore. he belongs in smaller shows. he'll never beat any champ ever, unless the ufc makes a "bitch" weightclass, then, just maybe. i cant wait till someone just knocks him the **** out!!!

So noone is with me on calling him "The Machinist?"
Its a step up.

If anyone cares, I like his fighting alot.
Hes got good bjj and he works his muay thai to keep the audience entertained.
I think we all remember when Kid Cope thought he would knock Kenny out...

yeah you mean kit cope. that guy's MTV true life was sick, when he went to thailand and knocked the dude out in a bare knuckle match. all the other ones have pretty much been lame.

i thought he looked pretty skinny too. guy looked like he hadn't eaten in weeks.
