caliphornia - just rewatched the penn/florian fight and as soon as BJ picked up kenny and threw him to the ground into half guard florian seemed to panic and have no idea what to do. he looked like a white belt once on the ground. anyone else notice that?
If that's what you thought was going on, you don't understand grappling at all. Florian fought hard and well to fight the mount/pass. Florian has excellent jiu jitsu, he just isn't as good as Penn - who is a world champion jiu jitsu competitor.
i agree, he is a legit black belt. i was being fececious when i asked if he was really a black belt. of course he is a legit black belt. duh.
but didn't kenny say his BJJ was better than BJ's and he was going to beat BJ skill by skill, round by round?
if his BJJ and skills are better than BJ's then i wonder why he was completely dominated once BJ threw him on the ground and he looked like an amatuer. i guess kenny and his camp brainfucked themselves into thinking his BJJ and skills are better than BJ's.
This sort of talk happens in all pre-fight interviews. What did you think KenFlo's camp would say?
Once Kenny felt BJ's pressure, his will seemed to fade. Also, there are different levels among BJJ black belts. NBA is a good analogy. You have your Jordans, Kobes, and Lebrons who can make other NBA players look like high schoolers.

What an embarrassing thread for the thread starter! Not only does he show his lack of knowledge of the sport, but the premise of the topic makes his fighter look worse (if the premise were true, which it isn't). LMFAO!
