Florian Not Even Close as BJ Penn Picks Him Apart
UFC 101 Play by Play
Fight Results and Recap
UFC Betting Review:
At 155 BJ Penn is the most dominate fighter in the UFC and mixed martial arts. As we predicted in our MAM handicapping report, BJ Penn had no trouble with a game Kenny Florian. Florian tried hard in his fight and pushed Penn to 4 rounds but the lack of skill was apparent. For 3 rounds Penn toyed with Florian and won ever round on all the judges score cards. At the end of round one, Florian was floored by a punch, then caught with a follow-up knee. Then, in round four, the dismantling of Florian was complete.
Penn easily takes down Florian and after a number of powerful elbows across Florian’s face, the passing of Florian’s guard, Penn takes Florian’s back and was applies a rear naked choke submission at 3 minutes 54 seconds into the forth round.
As stated in our matchup report
BJ Penn will expose the flaws in the average Kenny Florian similar to his match with Joe Stevenson. Though Penn has never fought a person beyond the top ten in any of his MMA fights, Florian has fought a top ten in three instances and has two loses to show for it. As a UFC bettor, bet heavily on BJ Penn
Anderson Silva proved to the world that he wants to regain the pound for pound crown as he was able to easily dismantle top light heavyweight Forrest Griffin. Once again Silva was able to toy with his opponent before knocking him out at 3:23 of round one.
Dan Miragliotta once again proves that his need to go back to refereeing school as he prematurely stops the Amir Sadollah vs. Johny Hendricks fight with only 29 seconds into the first round. What is also said about this fight is that Sadollah is no where near the level of fighter he deserves.
In the end all fans at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia left happy.
