Kenny Florian has been suspended with immediate effect by FOX Sports.

The former UFC fighter and analyst with the American station has been flagged for a "critical oversight". Florian admitted to plagiarism on a story posted on FOXSports.com when he provided a technical analysis of TJ Dillashaw v Dominick Cruz. It seems, however, that his thoughts were entirely original. https://twitter.com/LeeWylie1/status/687775395224129537?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Florian then admitted to his wrongdoing. https://twitter.com/kennyflorian/status/688112737109409792 And, subsequently, FOX Sports were quick in suspending the analyst. https://twitter.com/UFCONFOX/status/688423352571006976?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw
