Kenny Florian not quitting UFC, moving to lightweight.
As the only man who has fought in 4 different weight classes in the UFC, Kenny Florian(14-6) announced he is not ready to quit, and will be moving to lightweight class. Aldo lost the UFC Featherweight Championship against Jose Aldo @ UFC 136. He was unsure about what to do, now considered what needs to get done and finally returning back to his "home" the lightweight division.
He stated; "I still love this sport tremendously and still want to be a part of it. I know myself, and it's not even just being competitive, but it's just being there, learning and competing. There's still very much a fire burning there so I'm going to do it."
He now will take some time off to add some weight and get ready for the lightweight class. To be honest he didn't look any better in featherweight.
Aldo retains title!
Well, the performance and quality of the fight was poor to watch. Here is a summary. Florian had a better first round and in my opinion he won that one. That was probably the only in the bout. He couldn't push the phase in the next rounds. Aldo was dominant in the other rounds but thats it. He knows how to play to score and very well conditioned to succeed. He actually didn't win any new fans with his performance. We need to see better of him. Maybe in the next defense against Chad Mendes!
Jose Aldo vs. Kenny Florian
Jose Aldo (19–1) is on a 12 fight streak not having hard time among these fights except his defence against Mark Hominick. Aldo is very powerfull, in a very good condition, his skills are limitless and he is 25. After losing the title eliminator bout against Gray Maynard, Florian dropped to featherweight. The veteran is very skillful. He had beaten such great fighters like Takanori Gomi, Clay Guida and Diego Nunes. We shall now see how much he can do against the beast in the division.
