PFL commentator Kenny Florian reveals split with the promotion

Kenny Florian will no longer commentate for the PFL – a decision he says was his own.

Florian, who worked as part of the broadcast team and as an analyst for PFL since its second season, has opted to part ways with the promotion. Florian revealed on the “Anik & Florian Podcast” he was lined up to work the 2024 PFL 2 event April 12 in Las Vegas, before recently notified PFL of his departure instead.

“Originally I was supposed to be working it, but I did inform the PFL that I was no longer going to do broadcasting for them,” Florian said. “It was a tough decision, but it was something that I felt made sense for me at this stage of the game. I got to focus on the Anik & Florian Podcast and being a dad.

“I’ve been very grateful that I’ve been able to spend a lot of time with my family. I’ll be continuing to do that. So, I’ll be watching these fights from the sidelines. … For me, it’s just at this stage of the game, I figured this was probably the best decision for me and my family.”

Florian joined the PFL broadcast team in 2021, before opting to leave. Prior to that, Florian competed for the UFC and challenged for a title on two occasions. He then served as a UFC commentator alongside Jon Anik and others for several years.
