Kenny Florian trains with GSP in Canada

From MMAmania.com

Kenny Florian has traveled up north to Canada to train for a future fight against B.J. Penn for the Lightweight Championship belt. This is a smart move by Florian, since St. Pierre just successfully defended his title versus the Hawaiian. Although the fight was controversial with vaseline, the Canadian had clearly dominated Penn in all aspects of mixed martial arts.

Florian who will be entering the fight with an 11-3 record, has not lost in his last 6 fights. His last three fights have been simply large obstacle courses that he has conquered. Florian had finished off Joe Stevenson in his last fight with a rare naked choke in UFC 91 and previous to that Roger Huerta by a unanimous decision, then after Joe Lauzon by strikes.

After his win over Stevenson, he had become the number one contender for the lightweight belt. Florian's move to train with GSP in the Tri-star gym is brilliant, as GSP completely nullified Penn's attacks and implement a strategy that appeared to be near perfect (vaseline aside). The plan versus Penn was implemented by Firas Zahabi is also the head of the gym.

Kenny Florian will not be able to fight like GSP, since he does not pocess the physical abilities that GSP does, however training with GSP will only strengthen his abilities and since he had beaten Penn, it will encourage Florian to train even harder.
