"...I put my money on [Florian] against B.J. Penn...[He] is a great training partner, and is going to be a great champion, and he's also a greater person and human being (than B.J. Penn)...[his strategy against B.J.] basically consists of using his strength and putting it against his opponent's weaknesses."
-Georges St. Pierre to MMAWeekly Radio on training with Kenny Florian for Kenny's upcoming bout with B.J. Penn at UFC 101.
Penick's Analysis: With how much mud B.J. Penn has been slinging against St. Pierre since their bout in January it's no surprise to see GSP getting his licks in here and there, first with comments about his upcoming bout with Thiago Alves and how Alves would beat B.J. and is a tougher challenge and now these about Florian. Kenny's got his toughest test ahead in this fight but he's been training like it, and this bout on August 8th is going to be very, very exciting.
