Kenny Florian suspended by FOX for copying fight breakdown
FOX Sports analyst and former UFC fighter Kenny Florian found himself under fire recently for copying his Dillashaw vs. Cruz breakdown word-for-word from a YouTube video.

Saturday afternoon FOX released a statement regarding the situation, revealing that Florian had been suspended for the incident. We’ve included the comparisons as well as Florian’s statement, and FOX’s statements, below!
