UFC 101 likley has its main event, and it’s a good one.

Kenny Florian finally gets his shot at 155lb Champion, BJ Penn, after Penn’s failed attempt at simultaneously holding the Lightweight and Welterweight titles. We all know how that debacle turned out after his loss to George St. Pierre.

However, it’s time for Penn to move on and focus on the increasingly dangerous Florian. Florian has been on an unbelievable tear, taking down top contenders Roger Huerta and Joe Stevenson in his most recent fights. He is much, much more equipped for a title shot at this point in his career. As an added bonus, Georges St. Pierre is helping to prepare Florian for this bout, as one last jab at Penn.

Penn has been completely consumed by the apparent greasing during his last bout, and can’t seem to let it go. He has convinced himself it would have been a vastly different fight had the vaseline not been applied to St. Pierre. He had better refocus, and fast. Florian has cardio until next Tuesday, and is head and shoulders above the rest of the 155lb class.
