UFC 101: Declaration – 11. B.J. Penn vs. Kenny Florian
I picked Florian, thinking he would be slighty more elusive, not expecting him to try and smother Penn. His strategy seemed like it might have been working, but not quickly enough. Penn was still on his way to taking three rounds, and Florian was never going to finish Penn. As has been said before "for Florian to win he has to fight a perfect fight." Anything less and its Penn's fight to lose.
