Tim Kennedy re-enlists with Green Berets: ‘Donald Trump likes to win’

Ex-UFC middleweight Tim Kennedy has made a decision about his future, and it has nothing to do with MMA. The 37-year-old retired after a UFC 206 loss to Kelvin Gastelum, but has decided to re-enlist in the US Army Special Forces after the way the American election went in November.

In a conversation with TMZ Sports, Kennedy made it clear that Donald Trump’s election got the ball rolling for him being interested in re-enlisting, and when he appointed Gen. James Mattis and H.R. McMaster as Secretary of Defense and National Security Advisor, respectively, he knew that he wanted back in because he has so much respect for both men.
