Former UFC lightweight number one contender Kenny Florian recently shared his thoughts after hiring a wrestling coach to improve his arsenal inside the Octagon after dropping a unanimous decision against Gray “Bully” Maynard.

“It looks like my training team wants me to fight in another five months, I’m more motivated than ever. I’m pissed, to be honest. I want to crush my training. That’s what I’m focused on right now. I just hired the assistant wrestling coach at Boston University (Sean Gray) to be my wrestling coach here in Boston and I have other plans for a lot of other things as far as training goes. “Losses are blessings in disguise. I’ve never been more motivated in my life. I kind of feel like this was one of the most frustrating losses that I’ve ever had and it was a fight I definitely learned a lot from. I’m very motivated and I had to come back to training quickly. I’ve already started training and did a hard conditioning session (Tuesday). I’m just motivated to work very hard and get right back into it.” Florian said via Sherdog.com
