It appears former two-time lightweight title contender, Kenny Florian is in the process of dropping to 145 pounds in search of a title fight against ultra-talented Brazilian, Jose Aldo down the road despite talking smack about Melvin Guillard in recent weeks.This via the Bleacher Report:
The rumor really picked up Friday afternoon when fellow UFC lightweight Melvin Guillard was a guest on Heath Herring and Jay Pagliaro’s “The Show” radio show.
Words have been exchanged between Florian and Guillard over the past month or two which obviously led to speculation that the two may be stepping into the cage soon.
When asked about a potential fight with Florian, Guillard said that he had talked to UFC President Dana White earlier in the day and that White had informed him that Florian was in the process of, “dropping to 145.”
Florian was all for welcoming Aldo to the 145 pound ranks at the end of 2010, offering to square off with the Brazilian while he was still the WEC champion and looking for a legit challenge. Will “Ken Flo” be able to drop the extra ten pounds after competing at 185 pounds on “The Ultimate Fighter” reality show back in the day?
