VIDEO | Dana White And Kenny Florian Announce Retirement Of "Kenflo" | UFC NEWS
“I’m just so thankful to the UFC and everyone here for everything they have done. Fighting found me and I’m a much better person because of it. I’m happy…. I’ve dealt with injuries in the past, but back in November I was training and hurt my back. It just hasn’t quite been the same … I re-injured it a few weeks back. So, it’s been tough. I haven’t been able to train. And I’m the type of person who never wants to do anything half-ass. If I’m going to train for a fight, I want to be able to do it 100 percent. [The decision] has been several months [in the making]. It’s been very, very hard. It’s been tough.”

Hooray as half assed career is done. That’s news worthy. Aside from being a highlight on the show he’s done jack shit. Dare I say good riddance to an injury prone whiner?
is there a tumor in your vagina?
That, my friend, was a nasty ass verbal uppercut straight outta JDS’ arsenal! LMFAO
Yeah i agree, because its not like he was there from basically the beginning, put on exciting fights, fought for world titles and was someone who represented what a fighter should be inside and outside the cage. I hate mma fans like you, go” train ufc or something.” and tell me how your going to tap me out with your “Jew Jitsu”
Some clown problly throws windmill punches and closes his eyes when he swings I would stomp ur face or sub ur ass gay boy
lol I love the “go train UFC or something” part. kudos to you sir.
Bob… you are gay. What is your record? I guess his half ass career makes your full ass career look like a little bitch… like you.
I am gonna miss Kenny in the octagon.. weak! well at least he commentates.
Thank u ken flo for all the battles took so many tools out ur repitua love u as a commentator very well spoken and ejucated….. Bob is a homo.
ejucated lol
Shut. The. ****. Up! Get your ass up from in front of your keyboard and do something with yourself instead of hating on someone who has. That injury prone whiner would have you whining like a lil bitch if the two of you ever squared up, so stop talking so much shit just because you are hiding behind a pc monitor
He is an excellent fighter and role model. I respect him and hope he enjoys retirement.
Agreed!!!
THIS!!! Kenflo is a class act!
Never was a big KenFlo fan, but at least he knows when its time to hang it up. Best of luck to him as long as he isn’t commentating. He and that other guy are terrible on Fuel.
this sport is still young and Florian is pushing the sport forward the best he can. He is very knowledgable commentator and will only get better (the Silva-Okami fight is one of his best works yet). His methods of hyping a fight during his career is what turned a lot of people off. But in the end, he had a very respectable career doing something that many of his critiques will never do. No way was I his biggest fan, but I know when to throw out respect to a person who deserves it. Florian deserves it.
Anyone talking shit on florian need to watch some older tape! He fought in middleweight and made his way all the way down to featherweight and always finished fights or looked for a finish. Have some respect you ****ing punks!! Go smoke ur weed and sit on ur couch, but leave MMA sites to actual fans who don’t jump on the bandwaggon just cause a guy has a good record right now…
Uh, please leave weed outta this. Mary Jane ain’t did no one no harm, bro! Bob’s stupid ass probably woulda been better off if he woulda took a puff or two before making that stupid ass comment of his
Sucks man! Hope he can get his back fixed! Haters, youre either trolls which is pathetic or you are just showing how pathetic and sad you really are. To be honest, if you really talk that way, those “friends” you have that smile and nod, yeah they dont like you or. Be cool.
Gona miss his bows to the dome! And the samurai entrance!
he had some nasty elbows for sure.
Ken flow is a warrior that showed skill and honor thats what fighting is all about, **** he even got in there with BJ PENN dont tell that that doesnt take a warrior spirit!
damn. always loved kenflo. another legend gone. defiently top five fighter from the tuf series
obviously he’s a top 5 fighter from there if he placed second in his weight division
kenny florian was a great freakin’ fighter!
It’s unfortunate he has back problems he’s one of the most exciting fighters in MMA, just had a hard time letting it all hang out in big fights.
Agreed. Tough fight against Sherk, of course BJ is a monster at 155 and Aldo is basically Ares. Gonna miss you Kenflo. Will never forget you choking out Joe Daddy.
My favorite Ken Flo moment is when he took out Guida!
The guy couldn’t even eat potatoes because of the weight class he’s in **** not being able to eat potatoes
Damn… one of the greatest! I wish he could of got a title, but it doesnt take away from what a great fighter he was his whole career.
I hope Kenny can rehab from his injury. Even if he is dead set on retirement; no man with athletic motivation deserves a chronic injury.
If there ever were a fighter who belonged in the hall of fame without a belt it would be this man.
Amazing career and always a great fight.
Let’s not make a big deal about it yes he was a true fighter but def doesn’t belong to b in UFC hof in order for that he would have had to accomplish something in the org. Yes he’s a great fighter in the sport but you can’t just compare him to every fighter in sport only fighters in UFC he was not elite that like saying faber belongs in hof but then again at least no with Cruz hurt he stands a chance of holding an interim title what di Kenny do besides choke everytime he had a title fight witch was only twice in his career
Was a little sad when he retired. really wanted to see him and Diego fight again. but in a five round main event.
I dont know how people cant like kenny. dude was a finisher and always put on excellent fights. He got his ass handed to him by bj, but i mean come on how many 155ers wouldnt bj whoop.
