Prediction: wrong Florian   wrong Decision  

I'm going with the upset in this one. Florian has tremendous poise, experience and gameplanning. He has superior reach and knows how to use it with both his leg kicks and his jab. He has a great mount and a warrior mentality. I think he edges Aldo in the later rounds, but not before a scare or two in the early going.

Prediction: correct Aldo   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

I really like Florian but I just don't see this going well for him. He's going up against a younger more athletic fighter with the best striking he's yet to see.

Prediction: wrong Florian   wrong Submission   wrong Round 4  

I smell upset. Aldo's comp has been very suspect and I think Kenny Florian will hand him his first lost. I don't see a finish but def see a grind 'em out decision victory, Aldo hanging in there.

Prediction: correct Aldo   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

If Aldo comes in out of shape or tires like in the Hominick fight Kenny could cause the upset, but even like an 85% Aldo will be too much for Florian I would think

Prediction: correct Aldo   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

if Aldo doesn't get tired like in his previous fight he'll take a "w" from this one. We'll have to see if he can finish Florian who got finished rarely. Would like to see the WEC-Aldo again =)

I'm thinking that Aldo will want to wipe away the image he gave to fans in the last bit of the Hominick fight, and he will show the UFC fans that he can be the same Aldo in the UFC as he was in the WEC.

Prediction: correct Aldo   correct Decision  

I like Florian's gameness and a fan of his razor elbows, but i think he will come short, Aldo seems sharper skill wise. Picking a DEC win for Aldo.

I like Florian, he's a funny and pretty cool guy, but Aldo is just on that elite level.

I think florian has a really good chance at this, hes only lost to dominant wrestlers in the past how many years. Aldo is a mad man tho so who knows!!

I could see Kenny winning, but I think Aldo's last fight opened his eyes to the level of competition in his weightclass. Should be a very exciting fight.

Prediction: wrong Florian   wrong Submission   wrong Round 4  

Anything can happen in a fight and i have a strong feeling in my gut that that this is Florians last chance and he's going to want it now more than ever and is going to walk away as the new champion.

Not sold on Aldo as top 5 p4p, but he should pull this out.  Florian can't win the big ones.  (I am perfectly okay with Florian proving me wrong.)

Prediction: correct Aldo   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

I'm right there with ya @wolf. I really wanted to see Kenny get a belt. I thought he fought Aldo very well. Had Kenny completed a couple more takedown attempts he'd probably be the new champ. Kenflo is KIND OF like the Marino of mma.

I had the same except mindset about this fight, I thought Aldo would win but it would have been awesome to see Florian get the belt.
