Kenny Florian of been there before. The UFC lightweight Title lost fight with a very early in his career against Sean Sherk and then ripped off six straight WINS. Maybe it was a bit hard tips for his next shot against B.j. Penn. Florian stuck with a gameplan vitiated and lost in the fourth round through the rear-naked Choke. He knows now is important to stay grounded and thinks that Gray Maynard was better follow the Council itself.
"I definitely sense a kind of cockiness. A different attitude than showed in the past, "Florian said of his opponent at UFC 118 (0: 22 mark). "I've been there too. We are victims of it. I think he looks over me.I think he is already looking towards the title. He is definitely on the side cocky. "
Just 9-0 in MMA, Florian asks where cockiness of Maynard is coming from. He also wants to see how Maynard deals with adversity.
"Gray never met that kind of pressure.He's never ever met when someone is kind of knock on him, "Florian said Larry Pepper from Radio ProMMA (mark 2: 57)" He has always been the aggressor. He has always been the bully. It's easy to get struggles that when you are winning the fight all the time.As he is about to answer when he has always fought? "
Maynard never really was beaten down, but he was frustrated to no end in his last fight against Nate Diaz. Incessant chatter Diaz in Octagon took Maynard out of his game. If that screwed with head of Maynard, what if he actually is losing the fight?
"As he is about to answer when he was injured and he is still injured and he is injured, again," said Florian."And he is losing every minute of every round. What is that gonna feel like for him?"
Maynard was far more explicit in the lead up to this fight. Part of this is the realization that guys like Dan Hardy, Paul Daley and even Diaz moved very faster than self-promotion more heavily. Florian not see that it's just a ploy to Maynard to push the fight and his image.He was insulted by Maynard saying that he can beat Florian in every aspect of MMA.
"If he does not respect my skills, he is gonna be in trouble," said Florian.He suggested that Maynard will be full of excuses if he loses the fight. "'S gonna be one of those things where (Maynard Says), ' I don't understand what happened or Kenny got lucky.Or I made a mistake and I'll be back and better than ever."Not that I am has created a lot of motivation for me."
Florian not to mention a lot of garbage, but decided to focus a bit back to Maynard (Mark 6: 10).
"I don't think he is the most exciting hunting," Florian said Maynard. "I wouldn't jump up and down when there is a gray Maynard fight in progress, but I respect his skills. "
This is a huge struggle in lightweight Division. the winner has a good shot at the meeting the winner Frank Edgar-b. j. Penn. promotional terms, you have to think that the UFC would love to see Maynard victory.
