Fox Sports suspends Kenny Florian for plagiarizing portions of preview article

Kenny Florian, the Fox Sports UFC analyst and co-host of Fox Sports 1's 'UFC Tonight', has been suspended the sports network following Florian admission he plagiarized portions of another analyst's work for an article for FoxSports.com. Fox Sports announced the suspension on Twitter Saturday afternoon:

Florian wrote an article for the sports network's website previewing the main event for UFC Fight Night 81's main event, T.J. Dillashaw vs. Dominick Cruz. After suspicion grew about whether Florian had borrowed or taken portions of analysis from Lee Wylie of TheFightCity.com, Florian admitted as much, albeit claiming he did so in unintentional error.
