Tim Kennedy vows to ‘fight much more fiercely’ post-retirement - ‘It’s about more important things’

Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Middleweight veteran Tim Kennedy (18-6) officially announced his retirement from mixed martial arts (MMA) with a very long and fulfilling Facebook post (read it). The active United States Army National Guard special forces operator’s social media post was touching and truly catered to all fans of the sport.

It’s unfortunate that the fan favorite’s MMA run had to end on a loss. Kennedy’s last fight took place at UFC 206 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, where he was bested by UFC Welterweight/Middleweight Kelvin Gastelum (13-2) via a third round technical knockout victory.
