Tim Kennedy will eventually return to the Octagon. It's just a matter of who it will be against.
Kennedy told UFC Tonight's Ariel Helwani that he asked for Lyoto Machida at UFC Fight Night: Namajunas vs. VanZant on Dec. 10 in Las Vegas, but Machida was not ready. Now, the former Army Green Beret is targeting the winner of next month's fight between Vitor Belfort and Dan Henderson.
Kennedy (18-5) has not fought since a controversial third-round TKO loss to Yoel Romero at UFC 178 in September 2014.
