Another exciting night of fighting awaits this August 8th at Wachovia Center, PA. This will be the first time UFC travels to Philadelphia and it is expected to be a great event, let’s check who’s in and what are they bringing to the table …

The main event will be BJ “The Prodigy” Penn Vs. Kenny “KenFlo” Florian both very talented athletes and fighters.

BJ “The Prodigy” Penn born in 1978 at Kailua, Hawaii with a record of 13-5-1, weights 155 lbs (70 kg) and his height is 5′9″ which makes him a great welterweight. His strenghts are excellent submissions and overall strong standup technic, very powerful and explosive fighter. In his last fight he lost against Georges St. Pierre by TKO so he’s a little shaken up by that and he will be eager to prove that he still got the power to be holding a title.

Kenny “KenFlo” Florian born 1976 at Westwood, MA with a record of 13-3-0, weighs 155 lbs (70 kg) and his height is 5′10″ with the experience on his side. His strenghts are great jiu-jitsu technic and dangerous elbows and that is a very useful tool in tight situations and in my opinion it will be a rough and tight fight, lots of locks, submissions, chokes and more, elbows will be a key ingredient to this match.

Taking into consideration that Florian has won his last 6 fights looks a little to his side but his last fight was on november 15th 2008 and that is a while back so BJ Penn looks like a better overall option. MY PICK FOR THIS FIGHT WILL BE KENNY FLORIAN, HIS SKILLS ARE A LITTLE BETTER THAN PENN’S AND HE IS MORE EXPERIENCED.
