Back injury could force Kenny Florian into early MMA retirement

The Boston Herald today printed some bad news, reporting that Kenny Florian may possibly be forced into early mixed martial arts (MMA) retirement because of a lumbar herniated disk in his lower back.
The former three-time number one championship contender's orthopedist and a neurologist apparently agreed of the recommendation.
Florian, who was last seen in action on Oct. 8, 2011, at UFC 136 in Houston, Texas, contending for Jose Aldo's Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) featherweight title, has suffered from back problems in the past, but Florian reportedly re-injured it in November while lifting weights.
