Former lightweight title contender and TUF 1 alum Kenny Florian was one of the first fighters to take on a full-time commentary role in the UFC. But somewhere along the way, that working relationship somehow fizzled out.
Florian has since taken on a commentary job in the PFL, which began in March 2021. But if you ask him what really happened between him and the UFC, all he could provide are theories and inside information from people within the company.
“My understanding — and this is what’s been told to me from people inside the company — I guess I said no to being a coach,” Florian told Ariel Helwani in his Monday appearance on the MMA Hour.
