Kenny Florian is scheduled to fight Takanori Gomi on Wednesday, March 31, 2010 at UFC Fight Night 21 in North Carolina.  Live and Free on spike TV.

On the 3-25-10 edition of ESPN’s MMA Live, Kenny said he’s been having fun preparing for Gomi. This is the second time, Kenny has split his time between the US and Canada to prepare for a fight.Kenflo said he’s focusing more on building his own arsenal and less on worrying about what Takanori Gomi is bringing to the table.

Kenny is keenly aware of Gomi’s weapons.

He describes Gomi as a legend.

This is Kenny’s opportunity to knock Gomi off his wobbly pedestal. Concerns abound about the double weigh-in requirement which could present a problem for the portly Gomi.

Kenny’s slim. We don’t have to worry. KenFlo can have a banana split and still make weight.

Whilst we’re waiting for this Fight Night to happen, let’s play a game!
