I think kenflo will never be champ, he kinda looked like he had a weird look on his face when he cut sean and then they let him go back to fighting. Seems like thats how he was hoping he would win the fight, dont get me wrong he has one a few but mostly because of his cuts from his elbows thats not fighting thats luck and im glad sean beat him.

He'll never ever be champ unless he gets significantly better td defence. But he's got the heart of a champ.

I am lukewarm on Florian. He impressed the hell out of me beating musclehead Kit Cope - it was a picture perfect application of BJJ against a much stronger oppeonent - but it seems like usually his agenda is to cause a cut with his elbow and get the fight stopped. In the Sherk fight, why didn't he just take a 'foreign object' out of his trunks and try to cut Sherk? I know elbows are legal, but when he caused the cut, my mind flashed for a split second to watching a surgical procedure on the Discovery Channel and how a surgeon draws on the patientes skin before cutting. To me it is not in the Warrior spirit, which seems to be in contrast with his warmup gear.

Then when they are standing, Florian tries to fuk with Sherk and does the Vulcan Mind Meld thing by pointing out the cut - like "It's only a matter of time" or "Hey Sherk, you better be worried!"

I hope a lot of posters weigh in on this one.

i understand what your saying but i think that alot of his stragey is to use the elbows and if he cuts and bleeds allover then the fights over he wins fast, but thats just me. only reason he got out of tuf was because of those sneaky little elbows, but i always think of weird things like that. but i really hope in his next fight someone breaks his nose. If he gets put up against a good wrestler he looses. i want to see him go up against a great striker.

kind of off topic, but does anyone know where I could see his fight against Kit Cope? Can't find it on YouTube or dailymotion, which makes me sad.

I was very impressed with Kenflo.I didn't think he'd make it past the 1st round and he ended up taking Sherk to a decision.There shouldn't be anything negative threads like this.Sherk is a very good fighter and there's no shame in losing to a fighter like that.
