Guida and Florian to Meet at UFC 107

It looks official that Illinois' Carpenter will meet Ken Flo at UFC 107 in Memphis December 12. Word is getting around that the two have verbally committed to the fight, with the written contracts to be signed shortly.

Clay, a classy, thoughtful ambassador for the UFC and MMA, brings tenacity, wrestling, G&P and good striking to the equation. Kenny has fine skills, good striking and good BJJ.

I saw Ken Flo in Philly and wondered why he repeated his attempts to takedown BJ Penn. His takedowns looked like afterthoughts, and suggested he didn't have a proper gameplan for BJ. With Clay, Ken Flo will need at least his "A" game, and if he thinks he'll wrestle/takedown with Guida, he might abandon that thought today. I like Kenny, he's smart and also a good ambassador for the sport, but I see Clay wearing Kenny down and even beating him with standing strikes.
