Kenny Florian Fires Back at Dana White

Kenny Florian fans were outraged at UFC president Dana White’s reaction to Florian’s loss to Gray Maynard in Saturday’s lightweight title eliminator match at the UFC 118 show in Boston.

White offered the following comments on Florian at the UFC 118 post-fight press conference:

“Listen, I love Kenny Florian. I’ve known him since season one of ‘The Ultimate Fighter.’ He’s one of the best fighters in the world. Man, with the big fights, again, he chokes in the big fights, man.

He’s there in front of his hometown, another shot at the title and he stood in front of Gray Maynard for three rounds and didn’t let anything go. Gray Maynard basically fought his fight and did what he wanted to do and dominated him.”

Florian did not appreciate White’s reaction and shared his thoughts on White’s comments with Boston.com:

“I think that’s dead wrong. I’ve been in a lot of main events, I’ve been in a lot of different fights for the organization. I don’t think that’s the case at all.

Every fight in the UFC is a big fight. The Gomi fight wasn’t a big fight? The Stevenson fight wasn’t a big fight? The Lauzon fight wasn’t a big fight? They were all main events, top of the card.

That really doesn’t make any sense. I was outwrestled in a match, in one fight. I had to get to the title before and those had to be big fights, beating the best fighters in the world. He’s really seeing it from one perspective.”

Florian also talked about his own opinion of the reason he lost to Maynard at the TD Garden on Saturday night.Similar Posts:

  Could the men of Hinckley have ever imagined what people would do with their machines?
