Whatever happened to Kenny Florian?

[fortheo]

It's more so that they have more than enough guys chomping at the bit to do commentary that there's no reason for them to keep a guy who will bring any sort of unnecessary controversy. It's simply a bad look for sponsors and brass for literally no upside.

It's also from back when they were still trying to keep a semblance of professionalism. Different time.

Yeah, but it's still the ufc with Bryce Mitchell fishing with Hitler lol. Your last two sentences are true for sure though and bring it more into perspective.

I remember when he was trying to get into modeling or something. Shit was hilarious. Hopefully some of those photos are still around.

Hope he's doing well in whatever he's up to these days.

"Good night, and good luck."

But plagiarism from what and to whom? How serious was it?

[TITS]

You really don't think that running bit is funny?

To each his own, but I think that's one of the funniest trends in sherdog history lol.

It's corny and played out, just like the "____ was never my friend" bit.

 

[TITS]

He copied my posts on here, used lots of my observations of certain fighters.

MMA Guru does that too. He probably has all of your cat gifs in his spank bank.

Lol. Unfortunetly for him he's too short to be a model

I can relate because I'm actually his size

 

[HHJ]

Something like they wanted him to coach TUF and he said no so they phased him out.

Harsh

 

[SamuraiBro]

Didn't he become a stunt double for that jewish dude?

Gonna have to be more specific there, most of Hollywood is Jewish

Also I miss Ken Flo on commentary. Kick Sanko out.

I agree some of these need to be retired.

The Erik Silva and Florian ones are fuckin dead as dead.

Was makin a stupid ben stiller joke. His commentary was good. I'm fine with sanko though too.

The Erik Silva one is the least funny and most tired of them all, also the Tito "6 days a week" one has never been funny.

Plus, it's not like we're talking about something prestigious that actually matters lol. It's fucking ufc commentary.

Exactly. Who cares? It's a bonus if it's something that's relevant, we have enough bozos that add zero.

Yeah but didn’t he basically lift an entire analysis from a YouTuber? I agree that there’s a fine line between influence and imitation but you can’t just take the entirety of someone else’s analysis and pass it off as your own if that’s your job.

That’s why I always cite Sherdog forum members whenever I speak hilariously bad mma takes in public. Credit where credit is due.

He probably did. That makes 0.05% of his verbal output for an audience that doesn't give a shit.

You're literally saying a citation will fix it. So missing a citation is his "crime". Doesn't explain why he was dropped like they found child porn.

 

[Billthebutcher]

He copied Dominick Cruz, got caught and either was fired or quit due to humiliation.

 

[93confirmed]

He became a full time author.

 

[skylolow]

Dude got Battle Bot money and is on easy street.

 

[seanb1979]

He got caught plagiarizing and they fired him for it, which I think was silly, especially considering he was better than most of if not all the commentators we have today.

Like writing an article? Or verbally? Because tons of people copy things verbally.

 

[Genki Sudo]

no one more monotone that Anik! Jesus, just brink back Goldie!

 

[Blastbeat]

In addition to PFL, he's also called Battlebots for a few seasons

It's telling how few mentions in this thread there are for BattleBots
Buncha casuals, I says

Absolutely! I like the level of destruction and chaos that can happen in BattleBots which MMA could never dream of
