Whatever happened to Kenny Florian?

[gentel]

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

Speaking of Battlebots, lately I've been watching the NHRL - National Havoc Robot League

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

Bro I watched that shit all the way back in high school and I was so happy to discover during the COVID lockdowns that it had come back several times. AND had Kenny as a commentator! I spent a few weeks binging some episodes.
It's so damn awesome.

I’ve seen clips of this! Definitely some fun and crazy ideas

"Whatever happened to Kenny Florian" : Kenny Florian

Lol. Unfortunetly for him he's too short to be a model View attachment 1128597

I can relate because I'm actually his size

I mean, he was listed as 5'10 and he was definitely taller than almost everyone he fought at LW, so I'm not so sure he's THAT short. Pretty sure the woman beside him is actually quite tall herself and rocking 4' stilletos.

Florian always reminded me of Milhouse more than Ben Stiller, to be honest.

Also, for the record,

Kenny Florian was briefly suspended by Fox Sports on January 16, 2016 for plagiarism in his preview of UFC Fight Night: Dillashaw vs. Cruz. The offending article lifted significant portions from boxing analyst Lee Wylie's breakdown of Willie Pep.

If you'd like to take a more in-depth look at what exactly Kenny copied, here's a good link.

What is that, the Bellator of Robot Fighting?

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.

Plagiarizing what? As a commentator? What can you plagiarize? lol

The last new Battlebots episode came out in 2023 so other leagues are the only leagues

He wrote an article which was essentially word for word ripped off of an unrelated Youtube video. He was writing said article for Fox Sports back when they had the UFC. The fact that this was ever noticed is insane to me; who the hell reads those garbage previews?!?!

Well, apparently the answer in this case is THE WRONG PEOPLE for poor ol' Kenny Ken-Flo Pompadou!
