Kenny Florian UFC exclusive: Putting the art into mixed martial arts
Kenny Florian, the UFC’s top lightweight contender is a rare breed of fighter. Like many mixed martial artists he is articulate, intelligent and funny. But the difference with this Boston native is the personal challenge that he feels competing in the Octagon offers him.
Sporting an MMA record of 11-3 and having been competing in the sport since 2003, Florian came from a background in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and martial arts. I have never said I was a fighter. I am a martial artist and that is an important distinction for me. There is a lot of beauty and art in what we do.
