Kenny Florian wants Evan Dunham next

He said it's in the works and he hopes it's finalized soon on MMA Live this week. Your predictions?

I love this fight. I'll take Florian, but it's definitely an awesome fight for both guys.

Dunham will dominate him.

It'll be a close fight. When it's got nothing to do with the title then Florian is hard to beat.

I thought about this fight after Dunhum fought Sherk. I think Dunham will win, but it could be a great fight.

Should be a Sherk rematch first, but still a solid fight. It'll be close, I think Dunham would pull it out though. Kenny might struggle with Dunhams style

Why wouldn't Kenny want Sherk instead?

Because he said Evan really won that fight.

Kenny wants fights he has at least a snowballs chance of winning.

This makes sense enough. Give Evan someone like Kenny, BJ or Gomi and give Sherk Sam Stout or Paul Kelly or something.

Tough fight for Kenny, but you gotta admire the man's courage.

Dunham

Good fight. I'll take Dunham this time, but it's a good style matchup for Florian.

Ummm...I love KIenny, but my 2nd favorite LW has got to be Dunham. I will abstain at this time. should be a good fight though.

I say kenny goes ape shit on his wrestling practice and is a quick learner so will give evan one hell of a fight.

If I was Kenny and was still serious about being champ I would want nothing more than to fight good wrestlers. If he has success than he knows he is a better fighter thus a better challenger. If he doesn't then he knows a tough reality and can ask for a fight with who he pleases if he wants.

Soko, I don't see that happening. Dunham' base may be BJJ, but he started at TEamquest and is now at Xtreme Couture. His wrestling base is more than covered.

Fight now in the works

Yep, Super Bowl weekend.

I think Kenny might take a 3rd beating, the more I think about it. Which will sadden me greatly, but with evolution comes de-evolution and he is in the wrong part of his 30's to try be something that he isn't.

Kenny will fair better in the stand up than Sherk did, he's not got a little stocky frame and has superior striking.
