Kenny Florian and, and-
MMA JoeyGUEST
87:38
Agree.
Firas ZahabiHOST
87:39
Uh, "Your boy K Flo from middleweight to featherweight." Uh, yeah, but that was, he was never, Kenny Florian was never a true middleweight, okay? That's because he was on the show, and, uh, the guys who were fighting were much greener.
Firas ZahabiHOST
87:54
He did not do, uh, all those weight classes truly, you know? Like, he, yes, he, he competed in them, but the guys he was fighting were not like a middleweight today who's perfectly trained with a stellar record, who was making his way, he's just made his way to UFC.
Firas ZahabiHOST
88:07
He was fighting guys on The Ultimate Fighter, and that was, like, the first season or whatnot, okay? Now, he did do featherweight, and I tell, when people ask me, "What's the worst weight cut you've ever seen?" I tell them Kenny Florian when he fought Nunes, and Kenny Florian when he fought, uh, Jose Aldo, and then, uh, I would say Robert Whittaker when he was doing 170, you know? I, I trained him for a couple fights at 170.
MMA JoeyGUEST
88:27
I forgot he fought at 170.
Firas ZahabiHOST
88:28
Yeah, and he had the hardest, most brutal weight cut I've seen.
Firas ZahabiHOST
88:32
And, uh, when, when he went to 135, I thought it was a, a great move.
Firas ZahabiHOST
88:36
Um, those guys were, like, when Kenny Florian went to one, to featherweight, he could only have done it twice ever.
Brennan DeOliveriaGUEST

Back in the day, it was just...
Brennan DeOliveriaGUEST
40:13
In Massachusetts, it was me, Matt Santos, Joey Lozon, Kenny Florian, you know? And we used to travel everywhere competing against each other.
Brennan DeOliveriaGUEST
40:25

side, man.
Din ThomasHOST
51:47
Because remember when Aldo, he got on top of Kenny Florian for a little bit and just outclassed him.
Din ThomasHOST
51:53
And Kenny was a really good jiu-jitsu guy.
Din ThomasHOST
51:55
So Aldo didn't even use his ground game.

Thor NystromHOST
48:25
It was the AP was looking for a guy, um, that would wr- uh, Kenny, a guy named Kenny Florian was fighting in that, and the AP needed a story written about Kenny Florian for their, like, Boston stuff.
