Penn vs. Florian in the Works for UFC 101

By Josh Stein on Mar 24, 2009

Five Ounces of Pain reported that the UFC is trying to put together the next title defense of lightweight champion B.J. Penn for UFC 101 in Philedelphia. His opponent is slated to be Kenny Florian, and has been for some time now.

UFC 101 may be set for August 8th at the Wachovia Center in Philly, but nothing about the event has been made official yet. Should be a good fight, though, and it’ll give B.J. a chance to do something other than complain.

    I dunno how he will react to Kenny’s hair.

    It can be quite greasy.

    He will question Florian’s association and reasoning for going to Canada to train with GSP. He will make him submit to a pre-fight sponge bath given to Kenny by BJ’s mom and then he will make sure there is no vesline available at any local pharmacies or supermarkets.

    you implied you were looking forward to man on man rub downs.

    Actually I was making fun of BJ Penn for bringing his mother to the NSAC hearings and requesting that GSP have pre-fight showers mandated from here on in!

    What your fantasies are I can not control but I saw a glimpse of your man love side when we went up against WhoreEagle/HelloKitty.

    Just so you guys don’t forget I still think Ken-Flo will win this one.

    Chuck I am with you on that one…If B.J is going to even going to make it a fight he has to get in the gym, not the court room…
