Tim Kennedy offered to fight ‘Rumble’ at UFC 206

After Daniel Cormier was forced to withdraw from his light heavyweight championship rematch against Anthony Johnson at UFC 206, the promotion desperately tried to find a replacement.

Amongst them was top middleweight contender Gegard Mousasi, who fought just one week ago against Uriah Hall at UFC Fight Night 99.

Tim Kennedy, whose opponent Rashad Evans is unable to get a license, also stepped up to the plate, as he revealed on social media earlier today.
