First of all Kenny isn't going to have a 6-figure contract like Bonnar and Griffin. Jason "Mayhem" Miller got $2,000 for his fight in UFC 52. I am guessing that Kenny will get something similar on a per fight basis.
It was obvious that Kenny was fighting above his natural weight class so give the guy some credit for trying. It's not easy being on the big stage and he was overmatched on top of that.
The UFC only stands to gain from having Florian fight again because people know who he is. Do I think he's a threat to Matt Hughes' welterweight title? No. Do I think he'll perfom better than he did in the tough final? Yes. He's not going to get many more chances so he needs to be impressive if he plans to continue fighting in the UFC.
