GSP SAYS FLORIAN WILL BE A GREAT CHAMPION

On Aug. 8, Kenny Florian will take a second crack at the UFC lightweight title, this time battling current champion B.J. Penn at UFC 101, and while the Boston native has always had a top-notch camp, he decided to venture out this time for some extra support.

The extra support comes in the form of UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre, the only fighter to have two wins over Penn, and who himself is in final preparations for his UFC 100 bout against Thiago Alves.

St. Pierre spoke to MMAWeekly Radio recently about the work he did with Florian in Montreal, and says that it's a good bet that it's "Ken-Flo" who will leave Philadelphia with the championship around his waist.

"I've trained with him two times and he looked really sharp. I put my money on him against B.J. Penn," St. Pierre stated.

The Canadian has put together some of the most legendary camps to prepare for his title fights, so his physical and mental strategy could be a key edge that Florian will carry into the fight in August.

St. Pierre complemented Florian for the work they did together while in Montreal, and he's confident that Penn will have no answer for what Florian will bring into the title fight.

"Kenny Florian is a great training partner, and is going to be a great champion, and he's also a greater person and human being (than B.J. Penn)," said St. Pierre.

Much like his own strategy and gameplan, he wouldn't let anything out of the bag as to what Florian will do to beat Penn, but he is boastful that it will happen.

"A lot of things, but they are part of his gameplan so I can't talk too much about it," St. Pierre commented about what Florian will bring into the fight against Penn. "It basically consists of using his strength and putting it against his opponent's weaknesses."

Following his upcoming title fight against Alves, St. Pierre will then head straight back into camp to help his friend and training partner Nate Marquardt get ready for his September fight against Demian Maia.

Still, if time permits, he says he'd love to be in Philadelphia to sit front row for Kenny Florian vs. B.J. Penn.

"I would like to see that," St. Pierre said in closing about Florian winning the title
Interesting read. Nice to know Ken-Flo trained with GSP for this fight.

Re: UFC 101 Discussion
I really like Florian, in fact he might be in my top 5 favourite fighters. When I started cheering for him, not too many were. When I said he was one of the best lightweights, people thought I was talking out of my ass.

But with all that being said, he is still the underdog against BJ Penn at UFC 101.

Re: UFC 101 Discussion
Problem for this fight for BJ is getting motivated.

It's always been his biggest challenge because he doesnt do this for money he does it because he loves fighting. But it's pretty easy to tell he fights his best when he hates his opponent.

Look at his fight against Pulver or Sherk when he's motivated he trains better against a guy like Florian who is just so goddamn humble, kind, just a general good guy who you can't hate it will be hard for BJ to train.

Re: UFC 101 Discussion
Well I'm guessing that Florian will have a lot of support for this also, not because they want to see him as champ, just because people want to see Florian vs Sanchez II, which is fine with me, I would love to see Sanchez knock him out again.

Re: UFC 101 Discussion
It appears that your hate for Sanchez is stronger.

Re: UFC 101 Discussion
You used to talk badly of him all of the time before, hoping that Kos would beat him and what not.

Re: UFC 101 Discussion
Probably more to me liking Kos then me hating Sanchez though. Especially now, he was way overrated when he faced Kos and Fitch and got exposed because of it. I don't judge Clay Guida fights since he losses to anyone above decent, but he looked good.

I'd still say I hate KenFlo more just because of how pussy he used to be in his fights.

Re: UFC 101 Discussion
Sanchez is awesome but Fitch is just better and always has been so there was no surprise really.

I refuse to comment on the big haired moron.
