Jeremy Kennedy went from having an outside shot at a million dollars to going home completely empty-handed.
Certainly, it would have taken a lot of dominoes to fall for Kennedy (12-1) to become eligible for the Professional Fighters League’s seven-figure playoff prize, seeing as how he was only contracted to appear as an alternate for the league’s 2018 featherweight tournament. And he would have had to defeat a tough opponent in Marcos Galvao, a former Bellator bantamweight champion to lay claim to the alternate spot.
But all of that became moot when it was announced that Kennedy would not be competing at PFL 8 last Friday after all.
