Does no one care about Florian's retirement?

Geez, people. How many fights did this mofo have to finish to get some respect?

I already considered him retired when the non-official report that he was likely to retire came out a few months ago.

Good career Kenny. Now choke out Jon Anik.

I think K-Flow was great for the sport and will continue to be so. He was very good but just could never seem to get over the hump.

Don't care a whole lot. He had a sold career and was a significant fixture in the UFC stable for a good 17 fight run. He will should continue to have out of the cage success as a TV commentator for at the very least several more years. Doubtful for HoF, sorry Kenny.

If by hump you mean BJ Penn and Jose Aldo, that is a completely understandable hump to not make it over lol.

I think by hump he meant the 5 biggest fights of Kenny's career.

Fixed.

It was more than a couple humps...and where there was a hump..there was Kenny not getting over it.

Well, let's not let this fly off the rails into a Florian not getting the job done thread.

Fact is, the guy was always right there and i respect that he's reached his ceiling and then took his ball and went home rather than walking all the way back down the hill and taking beatings along the way. Florian is one of the few MMA fighters that can say he walked away when he was still a top level fighter. He may be the only one who can say that.

Yeah he spent the majority of his career on the high end of multiple top ten divisions. Good for him.

Best Gatekeeper eva.

I respect him, I think he is good for the sport as a rep, but I've never been a fan so I won't really miss seeing him fight or anything.

he had a solid career but lets not kid ourselves

the guy fought in 14 Championship rounds and maybe, maybe, won 1 of those rounds.

Against 3 absolute monsters, but I see your point

that being said he seems like a great guy and i think he can do a lot for the sport as an analyst

Always been a big fan of kenny he is a stand up guy. On the bright side atleast he is in his late 30's and not 20's. Great career and wish him the best.

Good move by Kenny.

Kenny is a great fighter who has had an amazing career. His future is even brighter, considering the UFC brass have plans for him, besides commentary.
