Kenny Florian är inne på sitt tredje försök på bältet. Allt såg ut att gå ganska bra då han först jabbade sönder Clay Guida och sedan gjorde narr av Takanori Gomi. Tyvärr så lyckades han inte lika bra mot Gray Maynard på UFC 118, där han blev nedbrottad matchen ut och förlorade på poäng.
Nu säger han sig dock vara mer motiverad än någonsin och har samtidigt hyrt in en ny brottningstränare.
It looks like my training team wants me to fight in another five months. I’m more motivated than ever. I’m pissed, to be honest. I want to crush my training. That’s what I’m focused on right now. I just hired the assistant wrestling coach at Boston University (Sean Gray) to be my wrestling coach here in Boston and I have other plans for a lot of other things as far as training goes… Losses are blessings in disguise I’ve never been more motivated in my life. I kind of feel like this was one of the most frustrating losses that I’ve ever had and it was a fight I definitely learned a lot from. I’m very motivated and I had to come back to training quickly. I’ve already started training and did a hard conditioning session (Tuesday). I’m just motivated to work very hard and get right back into it… I need to make sure my game is capable of beating everybody in every aspect and it wasn’t. So, I’ve been doing wrestling every single day. I’ve been watching wrestling and researching wrestling every single day.
