Lightweight Excitement...A Dream Match Come True
Ahhhh....it was just a mere 2 weeks ago when I first told JP Berube of my dream MMA fight. A destined to happen match-up between top UFC lightweights Kenny 'Ken-Flo' Florian & Roger 'El Matador' Huerta. UFC 87, tentatively due to take place in Roger's home turf of Minneapolis, MN on August 9th will be the night my dream comes true. A 'next in line' lightweight title shot for the winner of this fight is already running rampant through the rumor mill. Will Roger's 6 fight winning streak in the UFC finally come to an end at the hands of Florian? Or will Huerta's persistent drive, conditioning & heart knock Ken-Flo 2 steps back? Both fighters are eager to get their well deserved title shots, especially Florian, who has some unfinished business with Mr. Sherk should he get his belt back from B.J. Penn on May 24th...but who is truly ready to be champion? Huerta has taken an 8 month break from competition to finish college and rest, after fighting 5 times in 2007. Kenny, on the other hand, is coming off a stellar win against Joe Lauzon in April. One thing is for sure...this fight will be one for the record books in the lightweight division. Stay tuned for more on this exciting match-up.
