KenFlo

[Monacomo]

Where does Kenny Florian rank among LW greats? He has to be top 10, if not fringe top 5. The guy was durable and a finisher in a division that lacked finishers.

 

[DetachedOrchid]

you said it. fringe 5

penn
pettis
edgar
bendo
kflo

 

[peytonlucy]

Florini didn't have the balls to tell that bald-headed stooge Dr. Phil to call him Florian. He doesn't enter contention for the top, why rank him?

 

[HaulParris]

Off the top of my head, top 10 lightweights all-time (no particular order):
BJ
Frankie
Pettis
[insert Japanese guy here]
Gomi
Pulver
Yves
Gil
Josh Thomson
Cerronnay
[insert another Japanese guy here]
Bendo

 

[Post 2 Decision]

Somewhere behind Penn and Edgar
Honourable mention to Sean Sherk who never gets any recognition/respect

 

[Git rekt]

i liked florian, feel like if he would have beat BJ he could have went on to be one of the GOAT, alas it wasn't to be...

I wish he would fight again.

 

[Uncommon Valor]

Sometimes I forget that he fought Aldo.

 

[UJustGotChaeld]

Definitely top 10, probably around #5. He doesn't get enough credit.

 

[sampuncher]

Would people rank Florian higher than Maynard?

It annoys me how many people over look sherk, the guy was making 'lightweight' fights watchable

that's tough. career wise, he's more accomplished than gray but maynard did beat him.

Until he got busted

 

[sampuncher]

The fact that Sean Sherks only losses are against Matt Hughes, Frankie, BJ and GSP really isn't a bad 4 to have on your record as your only losses.

 

[UJustGotChaeld]

Would people rank Florian higher than Maynard?

Career wise, yes.

 

[jmd69]

For me, what makes KenFlo a great fighter is that he fought competitively in multiple weight classes.

Thanks actually very impressive especially since some of those fights were against two of the best WWs in the world.

 

[Rocksinhead]

Sherk doesn't get mentioned because you have to examine his UFC wins AT lightweight. They were Florian, Franca, Griffin and Dunham. The Franca fight had controversy with the failed test and all that drama and the Dunham fight many people had him losing that fight and didn't deserve the decision. Even if all 4 of those fights had been dominating wins by stoppage AND he hadn't gotten beaten so very badly by Penn he STILL wouldn't make my top 10 all time LWs. He just doesn't have enough top wins to qualify for me.
