@jaykool, I see you point but I don't think either guy ould walk through Kenny. I still see Kenny as a challenge to anyone and could submit Hominick.

Shane Carwin got the experience advantage? JDS has KO'd Werdum, Cro-Cop, Yvel, and Gonzaga. Plus he put a beating on Roy Nelson. Carwin has more fights, but JDS has faced better opposition.

@ kallousklown - I agree, but it's not just Aldo and Hominick. Florian has to conted with a wrestler/puncher like Mike Brown, and a grappler/puncher like Manvel Gamburyan. I'm not saying that Florian would get walked through, but I see him about as effective at FW as I do LW. He'll be top 5, but I don't think he'll be champion.

@thiagosilva - you're right, they have the same amount of fights. JDS should've gotten the experience advantage. Oh well, I'm still cheering for JDS to KO Carwin.

I'd take Florian over any FW outside of Aldo I think. His TD's are good. 

And I'm ******* nervous about this fight.

JDS took a page out of Chuck Liddell's book at the end of the round.

Still really nervous. Either fighter could still finish. Carwin needs to since he's down 20-17.
