FOX Sports taking immediate action

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.

Florian then admitted to his wrongdoing.

And, subsequently, FOX Sports were quick in suspending the analyst.
