Basically he fights the way he does because he feels that leaves him the least exposed and that there is continuity between his striking and grappling. It is not because he is unfamiliar with the other aspects of the game.
My fear in this fight for BJ is that Florian is a tough fighter, and while BJ will probably start off strong, if he is unable to finish K-flo in the first couple of rounds (which may be hard given Kenny’s durability,) Kenny will still be ready to fight in the last three. [/quote]
Yea I wasn’t saying he’s static as bad, but just easier to game plan for because you know what you are going to get. Some of those fights say GSP had against Sherk and Kos especially it seems like they game-planned for a great striker and were totally shocked and unprepared for the wrestling GSP came out with.
However like I also said I agree that though you know what you are going to get with BJ, what you are going to get, especially at lightweight is going to be very good.
Your last point I think is how most people feel, or at least I do, Favor BJ early, Favor KenFlo late.
