Summary

Kenny Florian is known throughout the Mixed Martial Arts world for his phenomenal endurance, skin-splitting elbows, and eloquent commentary. He is regarded as one of the best competitors to ever fight in the lightweight division of the UFC. However, if you ask Florian, his proudest professional accomplishments are opening two martial arts schools, helping others to realize their potential in the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and through his own study develop new approaches to the martial arts.
