Not sure how many folks track Tim, but I am one of his biggest fans. Well, sort of, to be honest I don’t really like his hugs, and he purposefully licks his straw because I have weird phobias about straws and people that drool on them. (Which is why I hate kids.) Anyway, other than the hugging and the straw thing, you’ll never meet a finer man. He and my wife were doing lunges at the black tie dinner and making asses of themselves. It was rather funny, but I hid because it was embrassing me. So anyway, in a total non-Brady way, I just love Tim Kennedy.<\/p>\n

So, I was excited to see this morning he is finally getting his shot. Actually, he told me Saturday night, but he didn’t seem to know much about it. It’s (I guess) somewhat semi-official now.<\/a><\/p>\n

Strikeforce middleweight champion Luke Rockhold has been looking forward to defending his title against Tim Kennedy for quite some time now. If all goes as planned, the two will square off this year.
\n“I’m excited about the fight with Kennedy,” said Rockhold, in a recent interview with MMAWeekly.com (thanks to MMAMania.com for transcribing). “I think he’s highly underrated, very tough dude, he poses a lot of challenges. I’ll be ready.”<\/p>\n

Kennedy has not fought since July of last year, when he defeated Robbie Lawler. Injuries have kept the U.S. Army veteran on the sidelines for several months.<\/p>\n

“It looks like it’s finally going to happen,” Rockhold said. “I’ve been waiting for that one for a long time, and I’m excited. I’m getting on my wrestling. Wrestling’s a key for this fight, I gotta control the wrestling.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Beefcake, I mean just look at this shit, I am killing it. If I was chick, I’d be all over me.

Even better is the look I sported later with my Gronk autographed jersey and Irish cap atop the Tux.<\/p>\n

OK, fine, here’s one of Tim. and a bunch of other dudes that aren’t nearly as awesome as Blackfive and me.
