Kenny Florian vs Din Thomas
Who is going to take this?
Thomas looks to have defeated "better" opponents than Florian in the UFC but Florian looks to have improved his game over the last two years.

Din by submission. I like to see him in the top mix. Ken Flo had his chance. Din been impressive and I hope he takes it.

I'm gonna have to go with Florian in this one. I'm predicting by a submission late in the 2nd.

I'll stick my neck out and say Florian by stoppage, more than likely due to bad cut caused by an elbow.

He lost to Diego and Fickett.
I voted Ken-Flo.

Florian is looking amazing lately and he is on his way up. Thomas is a good fighter, but he is on his way down. You do the math and the winner is... Kenny "Peruvian Gold" Florian!

^Damn 3 straight wins and the guy is on his way down. Do the math.
I don't know about this fight.
I haven't ranked Florian, because I haven't seen him win a fight against a well-rounded experienced guy so I don't know where to rank his skills.
I think this fight will tell alot about both fighters.
Din should use his experience and stay off his back. The chances of him submitting Florian aren't good, so why work from there?
I see this fight going to a decision with the winner being the guy who stays on top.

I wonder why people think Din can't submit Florian. Din will catch him sooner or later. Is Florian hard to control or something? Maybe I'm missing something? I respect Kenny's stand up to a degree, but when it comes to the ground its all Din. War Dinyero!

The reason I don't think Din can pull off a sub is because, both guys are BJJ black-belts.
I think with both guys being at about the same level, they're aware of what the other guy can do and are probably prepared for it.
I feel that they probably neutralize each other's game in that aspect, and the fight will probably depend more heavily on other factors.
I'm not saying a sub can't end the fight, but for me, I don't see it as a likely scenario.
