Tyson Griffin more deserving than Florian

Florian had his chance. I want to see Tyson Griffin vs Huerta in the #1 contenders match. Put Florian VS Stevenson in a match to see who should be right back in the mix and who needs to work his way back up.

They've beat a similar level of competition (slight edge to Tyson), but none of Kenny's fights were close or controversial. In fact, he hasn't gone to decision since losing to Sherk.

I would like to see the winner of Tyson/Maximus fight the winner of Florian/Huerta but I think that Florian vs Huerta willl determine the number 1 contender.

I'd like to see Griffin fight some better competition, but he hasn't earned a title shot yet.

Kenny Florian will sell more tickets and PPV's than Tyson Griffin. Sorry.

Winning is the most important thing. Of course fans do not want to watch boring fights but the sport suffers when fighters are a lot more worried about looking exciting than fighting the best way they know how. If the trend continues if will devolve into the WWE with people doing all type of ridiculous things just to get fan approval.

Florian hasn't lost since his first title shot and has been very, very impressive. Huerta still hasn't lost in the UFC and is super popular.

Both are more popular than Griffin and fight a much more exciting style, though I found Griffin to be entertaining and appreciate his skill set. Marketing is a big part of the game and that's just the reality of the situation. And it should be that way because the promotion has to do what's best to sell it's show.

I think both Huerta and Florian are more deserving than Tyson, but I think Tyson is right there behind them and will get his shot soon.
