Kenny Florian vs Din Thomas

Din Thomas +130
Bet this fight at SBG Global

Kenny Florian has been hyped up too much by the UFC. Just look at his record in mixed marital arts and who he has fought and there is no way you can tell me he is a favorite against Din Thomas. Din Thomas is 7x UFC Veteran, 3x WEF Champion , 2x RSF Champion, Veteran of SHOOTO Japan, Inoki Bom Ba Ye Japan and SuperBrawl Hawaii. Florian is a reality show contestant. Florian has had trouble with stronger more powerful strikers and Thomas will put a beating on him in the stand up game.

Bottom Line: Kenny Florian has great BJJ skills but Thomas will be able to neutralize his ground game since he trains at American Top Team with BJJ black belts He is a much more devastating striker and will impose his will on Florian.

Take the Underdog Thomas in this fight
