KenFlo likely to get next shot at Aldo:

At least according to Dana at this point, and I'd say it makes sense even if Mendes maybe more deserving, but one guy is far more marketable...


So how do you see it going down?


Early in the fight tonight Nunes speed and footwork seemed to be giving Kenny some problems. But as the fight worn on his game plan and maybe size edge seemed to help him pull it out. I think If Kenny can weather the early storm against Aldo he could edge him on the score cards. Get some takedowns, appeal to the judges, we know the drill....It'd also be his second cut to that weight, so he'd feel more comfortable. Probably would still roll with Aldo at this point, but I think Kenny has a shot. Seeing Aldo either let up or gas against Hominick late makes me think Kenny has a decent chance.

Skinnny Florian has nothing for Aldo. Diego Nunes early attack gave Skinny trouble so just think what Aldo lightning quick offense will do to him. Mendes stands the best chance vs Aldo just because he could out takedown him possible for 5 rounds.

I think Kenny has a chance. He would just have to make the fight very ugly and land alot of takedowns and work his top game. It wont be easy but I could see him getting a decision.

Already posted this so someone merge them.

U need to change the thread title then also. I just thought u was talking bonuses not about K-Flow vs Aldo.

I can't see Skinny taking Aldo down much.

U maybe right and I also think Aldos leg kicks may break Kenny in half but we will have to wait to find out.

I wasn't that overly impressed with Florian's FW debut, as previously has been said already Nunes was giving Kenny problems early on with his fast attacks. Over a five round fight I see Aldo stopping Kenny in vicious fashion.

Mendes will OWN Florian

not impressed at all last night, he was abot to get knocked out when the fight ended

If Nunes dropped him twice with strikes, Aldo will knock him out.

Kenny went to his bread and butter. Elbows to the back of the head

Kenny once acclimated to the cut might withstand shots better. Florian is a tough fight for Aldo but not in his league. I could see him winning in the late rounds but more than likely Aldo smashes him.

You can tell Kenny's been working on his wrestling in Montreal. Even when he didn't get takedowns his timing on his shots was really good in a couple different spots. Still got vicious elbows. If he can withstand an early barrage, a fight with Aldo could be pretty interesting

for sure, and to his credit his shot was faster and more explosive too.

i was real impressed with his conditioning in that fight, i give him a 30% chance of beating Aldo actually, especially if it goes to the championship rounds

I don't really see the correlation between Nunes rocking Kenny twice so that means Aldo finishes him? Nunes is a damn good fighter and striker just like Jose. As of now I'd pick Aldo for sure, but Kenny def has a chance, and Killer's point above^ could help Flo as he gets into the later rds.

Lollllllll. I agree.

I think Kenny gets owned by a few FWs. Atleast the Aldo fight should be entertaining while it last.
