The two-time war veteran wants to make a return to the UFC and has an interesting stipulation in mind.
According to a report on last night's UFC Tonight episode, UFC, Strikeforce and military veteran Tim Kennedy isn't done with his MMA career just yet.
The last time we saw the now 35-year old in the Octagon was last September atUFC 178, where he suffered a TKO loss to Cuban wrestling standout Yoel Romero Palacio. The fight has been nothing short of controversial. Kennedy was close to a stoppage victory by the end of the second frame, but Romero's cornermen overran the one-minute break between rounds by nearly half a minute. A more or less recovered Romero then returned for round three and finished the frustrated Kennedy.
Obviously, the American Sergeant doesn't want to go out like that and feels the need for at least one more fight. The opponent he has in mind is former light-heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida. And if that didn't sound exciting enough, Kennedy would love to add a little stipulation: The loser of the fight has to leave the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
