Hard to hate Ken Flo. So he wants to finish fights and talks about it. He tries to put on a show for the fans, like we ask him to! Nice job KF
Yes I do. I wanna piss on you, wanna pee on you.
Your body...is a port-o-potty...
"He lost decisively to Sherk and Diego and anyone else that he's fought were b-c level fighters"
clearly, desperately grasping for anything to avoid giving credit where credit is due. Few 155ers in the world who would step up to 185lbs....Dead issue long ago.
Fluke win? Why can't you just be as classy as ATT themselves?
Most fans of other fighters have never even met that fighter. Maybe they crossed their path and took a pic w/them. Or they're from the same country. Many of the avid fans of Kenflo either train w/him at Sityodtong or use to train w/him and his brother at GB Boston. He's the everyday looking guy who works his @ss off and has accomplished more than most. We're proud of him and his accomplishments.
"Here's a question for you; would Din Thomas celebrate 'finishing' a guy who blew out his knee and quit fighting? Honest question."
kenny didnt know that din 'blew' out his knee. im still waiting to hear what din did exactly - any word on that yet?
and after din's taunting kenny - after doing nothing of note mind you - i would expect him to celebrate after a win
Double standards?
On the UG?

I know. It happens so rarely that I had to make a thread about it.
"kenny didnt know that din 'blew' out his knee. im still waiting to hear what din did exactly - any word on that yet?"
I read somewhere the MRI was conducted and they should have results soon. It is suspected that he has at least a torn ACL and maybe more damage.
If you look at Din's knee when he was trying to walk out of the cage, his knee was already swollen big time. This is consistent with a torn ACL. Your knee swells up dramatically in a matter of minutes.

That really sucks for Din. Best of luck to him while he recovers.
according to the suspension list Din is suspended until he recieves a MRI result and has been sleard by an orthopedic surgeion to fight, it doesnt stae exactly what the injury is but his shit is messed up for now
This is so crazy. I don't hate Kenny Florian, hell I've never met the guy. How many times to I have to say I respect the guy's heart and work ethic? Clearly it'll never be enough for y'all. If you're not swinging from the sac you MUST be a hater right? God forbid anybody brings up his losses or the caliber of the oppenets he's faced right?
So some people on the board picked Stout or Kope (LOFL @ that) to beat your boy. I didn't. Look around at how many people are picking Forrest to beat Shogun (and hey it could happen). Kope and Stout having training partners too for fuck sake.
And no I'm not going to 'give credit' to Kenny for this win. And it WAS dead even up to the injury, the only people arguing differently are Kenny's pals and people who are trolling.
Please just put the shoe on the other foot. If it was Kenny who lost via injury, would you not take some offense if the ATT guys were on here claiming your boy got 'dominated' and celebrating the win as some sort of proof of legitimacy? You'd have no problem if Din was scoreboarding him in the post-fight interview? Be honest.
If anything you guys (Kenny's rabid fans/training partners) should be giving Din credit for giving Kenny the finish.
He could've easily just used the obvious injury to get a no contest/injury stoppage. Eh whatever, have your little east-coast love fest. TTT for both fighters, looking forward to their next fights. Peace bitches. -NC
"If it was Kenny who lost via injury, would you not take some offense if the ATT guys were on here claiming your boy got 'dominated'"
I agree with you there. No one on the fighting side of things ever wants to see a fighter lose because of an injury. I, certainly, was not one who said Kenny "dominated" Din, etc. Kenny himself will obviously, take the win, but wanted it to finish convincingly instead of by injury.
I only rebutted the obvious hatred towards Kenny from some of the "haters" who, no matter what someone does, will always hate.
I wish Din the best and I hope he recovers quickly. ACL's suck.
"This is so crazy. I don't hate Kenny Florian, hell I've never met the guy. How many times to I have to say I respect the guy's heart and work ethic? Clearly it'll never be enough for y'all."
I'm sorry for all the posts I've made that said that NameCaller hated Kenny Florian. In all future posts on the topic, I'll try to remember to exclude you specifically from criticism.

If Kenny had lost to Din by anything including Din's corner distracting the ref while Din hit him with a folding chair, I wouldn't have questioned the legitimacy of the victory, nor would I have any problem with any post fight celebration, regardless of whether Kenny had been stupid enough to taunt Din in the fight.
bottom line kenflo is the man but people are going to hate just because he was on TUF
Guys people picked Lindland to beat Fedor and still argue about rope grabs and shit. It's the UG. Somebody is always going to pick against your guy.
And looking at a fight from an unbiased standpoint (that is to say I don't have any emotional ties to either fighter) doesn't mean you hate the fightes involved.
Oh btw I lol'd at, "If Kenny had lost to Din by anything including Din's corner distracting the ref while Din hit him with a folding chair" as well as this backhanded barb, "regardless of whether Kenny had been stupid enough to taunt Din in the fight."
In fact it's SUCH a convincing arguement that I've done a 180! Kenny IS the best 155er of all time. All his previous wins were over top-notch fighters! The UFC isn't protecing this guy, they're exposing him to THE BEST! Legit legit legit. Hell why isn't Kenny ranked #1 in the world at his weight? FUCKING TRAVESTY!
I'm totally cool with nutshots and blows to the back of the head too, thanks to Bubba Ray Gracie's convincing arguement. Hell where is that folding chair? I mean NOTHING could make this win anything less than a TREMENDOUS accomplishment for Kenny, his camp and his fans. For that matter why didn't Din just fight through the injury? Cause he's not the warrior Kenny is right guys?
And if anybody disagrees they're a hater right guys?
Guys?

Hey, I guess you see things differently than I do. Your sarcasm does not apply to me since I didn't state what you seem to be "joking" about.
If someone takes a baseless stab at one of your friends, are you not going to speak up when you know the truth? We do around here.
You are going somewhat over the top with your comparisons and adding a lot of people in to your sweeping generalizations of what some kid in the midwest is saying.
I respond because idiots say things like "Kenny flicks his kicks and missed Din's head by a mile" etc. Comments like that show an obvious lack of muay thai knowledge and are just looking to hate on someone, some way some how.
Glad to see you came around NameCaller. :)
