UFC 131 Results: How Will A Diego Nunes Win Impact the Featherweight Division?
Bleacher Report’s Dale De Souza:
Mixed Martial Arts is unpredictable to where sometimes the most unfathomable of events can become a reality, but some people forget that anything and everything can and will happen in this sport.
Maybe we’re convinced that fights are going to go a certain way, maybe we just like one guy more than the other, and maybe we’re just going by the name recognition when we pick, but for some reason, we sometimes find ourselves judging certain fights before they happen.
Case in point: Kenny “KenFlo” Florian’s UFC 131 Featherweight bout against Diego “The Gun” Nunes.
Stay tuned to Bleacher Report for all things UFC 131, including the latest UFC 131 results, Fight Card Analysis, UFC 131 news, and live reaction, from Vancouver.
Florian is not the Jaime Jara of the lighter weights–he’s not the first (and so far, only) man in MMA history to have won titles in four divisions, nor does he have any sick tattoos or the Stone Cold Steve Austin-like stare in his eyes or a reputation in Gladiator Challenge.
Florian is merely the first person in the UFC to have fought in four divisions, and all to get his hands on one UFC title.
Perhaps that’s the reason why he’s such a heavy favorite to not only defeat, but make convincingly short work of Nunes–because many feel his Jiu-Jitsu, Boxing, and Muay Thai will look its best at the Featherweight level.
However, what if Diego Nunes not only wins against Florian, but beats him decisively?
