-Florian's recent BattleBots commentary work

-If there's any one particular aspect of the looming 2022 PFL season that especially excites Florian

-Florian's biggest 'idols become your rivals' moment in his competitive career

-If Florian's anecdotal experiences allows him to pick up on certain non-verbal cues from fighters that indicates their overall temperament
