Tim Kennedy

“I wish it was me that put a bullet in him. Zombies are the only thing I want to kill more than Osama. I hope everyone does not think that this means all of our troops will immediately come home. There is still a lot of work to be done there, but this is definitely an opportunity for us to push the enemy harder and really break their backs.” -- Tim Kennedy, Strikeforce middleweight
"Tim Kennedy: This is an awkward one to call. Jake has been a longtime friend all the way back to the days when I first started at The Pit. He was the one that brought me in and introduced me to MMA. GSP is a fellow team member at Jackson’s MMA, so I hate to make a call against him. I think the question is all about wrestling. While Jake’s standup is underrated, it is not nearly at the level as GSP’s. Conventional wisdom would say that Jake needs this fight on the ground. I’m going to call an upset and go with Shields by a close decision. He will drag the tight, short, girl-worshiped, 170-pound champ to the mat over and over." - Tim on GSP-Shields.

"I'm going to take Chuck. They are both coming off tough losses. I know Chuck still has the desire to train and compete at the highest level. He is the best champion the UFC has ever seen, and I hope to see him wear the belt again. I think Chuck has the footwork, angles and power to hurt and put away Rich, although I'm not very objective on this one." - Tim on Chuck-Rich.
"I'm going with Rashad Evans. I think his footwork will be too much for Jackson to keep up with. I also believe Rashad is the better wrestler. As long as he sticks to Greg's game plan and doesn't rush in or stay in the pocket too long, he should squeak out a unanimous decision." - Tim on Rampage-Rashad.
*"The AKA guys have been on a tear of late. I think Jon has the wrestling and size to do the same thing that GSP has done. Fitch by unanimous decision." - tIM ON BJ-FITCH.
