Kevin-To be honest, the only non-UFC/WEC title that holds any water in the MMA world is Fedor’s WAMMA Heavyweight belt. Every other non-UFC/WEC belt is a Halloween costume in my opinion. I’m not saying that the Dream/Strikeforce/EliteXC etc. titleholders aren’t good fighters, just that they haven’t proven themselves to be champions until they’ve done so in the Octagon. With that being said and focusing solely on UFC & WEC titleholders, there’s three that come to mind – BJ Penn, Georges St. Pierre and Anderson Silva. On BJ Penn’s best day he could beat Anderson Silva on Silva’s worst day. Georges St. Pierre could beat Forrest Griffin on most days. In my opinion Rampage should still be Champion, but I’ll save that argument for another day. And finally a crafty Anderson Silva could beat Brock Lesnar. Brock Lesnar is an extremely fast heavyweight, but Silva is faster. Also, Silva has the ground game that Lesnar lacks. So Silva’s keys to victory would be stun him with a punch, knee to the head or kick to the head, get him to the ground and submit him before he recovers. So once again I am in agreement with the master of the inner dialogue that Georges St. Pierre has the best shot at beating a current titleholder (Forrest Griffin) two weight classes above him. Should the fight ever happen, I’d be looking for GSP to submit Griffin thereby exposing Forrest’s “jits” to be something else that rhymes with “it”. You know like “the pits” (G rated version) or the other thing you probably thought, “*&$@” (not G rated version).

Question #6-There's no doubt that KenFlo is the #1 contender in the UFC. But how would he fare outside the Octagon against guys like Alvarez, Hansen, Gomo, Masvidal, Cerrone, or Varner?

Mike-Alright so I am going to have to openly admit that I have very little footage to base this on. I have to say that the only guy that I believe has any one piece of arsenal more developed than any aspect of Kenny's would be Gomi in striking. Even that to me is a stretch, but just for argument sake let's just say that it is better than Kenny's striking. He still does not have the ground game that Kenny has. I am not taking anything away from Gomi here, Kenny is just that good. And unfortunately for Gomi and every other guy in this discussion, Kenny knows how to put you where he can beat you. Let me be clear that I think that all of those guys could win a fight against Kenny, but Florian is extremely focused, one of the most self motivated and hardest working guys in the sport so I don't see anyone but BJ beating him in that weight class, in any organization on any continent. But BJ will make him look outclassed unfortunately. Sorry Kenny but you are going to be the Rich Franklin of the LW division.
