Making it a point to finish fighters, Kenny Florian defeated Din Thomas via rear naked choke in last night’s main event on Spike TV.

Evidently blowing out his knee on a takedown attempt in round one, Din Thomas was shown no mercy as a relentless Kenny Florian pounced on the wounded Floridian. He would then take Thomas’ back and sink in the rear naked choke with just under 30 seconds left in round one. It’s Florian’s third straight win the UFC and one over a respected veteran fighter in Thomas. Florian himself noted in his post fight interview that Thomas had been fighting even before he began training for MMA. The win adds a new level of respect for Florian at 155, which is exactly what he was looking to obtain from the victory.
