Fox Sports Suspends Kenny Florian, UFC Boston Weigh-In Results, Cyborg Interview, Fight Tonight
- Cris "Cyborg" Justino was interviewed by UFC's Youtube ahead of her Invicta FC 15 fight tonight, where she'll defend the Invicta Featherweight Championship. Cyborg talks about Ronda Rousey and Holly Holm in the interview.
- Fox Sports has suspended former UFC title challenger Kenny Florian after being exposed for plagiarism earlier this week. Florian wrote an article earlier this week previewing UFC Fight Night 81, while taking parts of analysis from Lee Wylie of The Fight City. Florian copped to the claims, but said he did it on accident.
