Though Florian admitted guilt he has been suspended by FOX Sports.
The incident happened earlier this week when boxing analyst Lee Wylie of TheFightCity.com noticed that Florian’s article regarding the upcoming UFC Boston card has passages word for word from his own works. Wylie called Florian out on it and Florian admitted fault, stating that it was not done intentionally. Wylie seemed to accept the apology, however the suspension still stands.
