Kenny Florian (photo), UFC fighter and occasional commentator for North American TV, knows José Aldo, who on Saturday night (2) will put the featherweight belt at stake against Frankie Edgar. KenFlo, as he is known, challenged the Brazilian in his last fight for Ultimate, in October 2011, and ended up defeated by Aldo in a unanimous decision by the judges. On Twitter, Florian commented on the fight between Aldo and Edgar, praising the quality of the Brazilian's kicks. “Why are Aldo’s shots so good? 1: strength. 2: he doesn't telegraph them. 3: they throw you back. 4: your left hook traps you in the right low kick”, he published.

Florian also gave his thoughts on the opponent of José Aldo, Frankie Edgar. Regarding the challenger, KenFlo chose to highlight the quality of his wrestling. “Why is Edgar’s wrestling different? He masks very well with his attacks and his timing and entrances to the falls are impeccable”, he highlighted. Kenny also said he believes that Edgar should aim for close range against Aldo – avoiding his dangerous low kicks – and stated that the Brazilian has never faced a wrestler like the North American, who in turn has never found himself facing such a fast opponent. .

The packed main card of the night will feature the following fights: Rashad evans x Rogério Minotouro, alistair overeem x Antonio Pezão, Jon Fitch x Demian Maia e Joseph Benavidez x Ian McCall.
