At UFC 136 on Saturday night, Kenny Florian will be looking to remove the title of ‘choke artist’ from his resume. Florian a fighter that has moved around four weight classes throughout his career has become a fan favorite despite his inability to capture a title. The last time bookie software pundits had Florian winning a title was against former Lightweight Champion BJ Penn. However, as many of you already know Florian was unable to get the job done. Entering Saturday night’s fight with Featherweight Champion Jose Aldo, should sports betting enthusiasts believe Kenny Florian can end Aldo’s reign atop the UFC’s latest division?

On Saturday night at UFC 136, Kenny Florian will be making his third attempt at capturing UFC gold, when he takes on former WEC Lightweight turned Featherweight Champion Jose Aldo.  Florian received his first UFC title fight when he was 29 at UFC 64, when he took on Sean Sherk for the vacant Lightweight title. Unfortunately, as was the case in his second opportunity against BJ Penn in 2009, Florian ended up with the loss.

Now in his upcoming battle with Jose Aldo, fans can make the argument that Florian shouldn’t even be in the Featherweight division. Essentially, Florian only moved to Featherweight, after losing to Gray Maynard for the Lightweight title eliminator. As a result of that fight, Florian dropped down in weight and destroyed Diego Nunes in both his Featherweight debut, and eliminator for Aldo’s title.

On paper, this fight still appears to favor the younger Aldo, as he is on a 12-fight win streak, in which he has literally destroyed the Featherweight division. The one questionable fight for Aldo came in his most recent fight against Canadian Mark Hominick, who took the Champion to the limit.
