KenFlo may have to retire because of back injury

Back injury aside I already feel Kenny should retire, he's gone as far as he could go and can walk away with his head held high into commentating.

While lifting weights, I was not aware that he even was aware what weights were, that is too bad, but he has had a long career, he can't beat the top guys, his commentary is good, he will be able to slide right in, still has the drive but like us all the body can and will let you down.

id like to see him go on his own terms and not be forced out by an injury tho

unfortunately as a competitor even with a good career like kenny has had, he will still feel like he has a few more fights well into his 40s. It will be a tough pill to swallow if he has to quit now

Kenny Florian has officially been tapped the color commentator for the UFC's second broadcast team.

MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) today confirmed the new position with UFC officials.

Florian, a current UFC fighter and three-time title challenger, debuts
with play-by-plan man and fellow recent hire Jon Anik at Friday's UFC on
FX 1 event.

Anik and Florian will handle all broadcast duties not taken by the
primary team of Mike Goldberg and Joe Rogan. Most of the "B team's"
events will air on FX, such as Friday's show at Nashville's Bridgestone
Arena, and FUEL TV. Both are FOX-owned channels that have taken over the
smaller UFC events that previously aired on Spike TV and Versus.

Florian, 35, is no stranger to the broadcast booth. The fighter, who
previously hosted "MMA Live" on ESPN (with Anik) and now anchors "UFC
Tonight" on FUEL TV (with Todd Harris), previously has filled in for
Rogan. For example, when "Fear Factor" taping prevented Rogan from
attending this past August's UFC 134 event, Florian filled in as the
night's color commentator.

"It's really a vision I had since we started working on 'MMA Live'
together – that'd we'd be calling UFC fights together," Anik said. "I
just really think he's such a natural at it, and he's got a gift of
simplifying things. ... He's going to make my life much easier."

In addition to Florian, fighters such as Frank Mir, Rich Franklin and
Stephan Bonnar were considered for the open broadcaster's slot (and
could still be used in the future).

Recently, Florian has hinted at a possible retirement from fighting due to a back injury, but he hasn't ruled out a return.

Florian (14-6 MMA, 12-5 UFC), who first joined the UFC as an undersized
middleweight runner-up on "The Ultimate Fighter 1," twice fought for the
lightweight title and once for the featherweight belt. Outside of title
fights and title eliminators, he owns a 12-1 UFC record, which includes
a 9-1 mark from 2005 to 2008.
