UFC middleweight Tim Kennedy retires from MMA

We don’t yet know if former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey will retire from mixed martial arts (MMA), nor can we be sure if BJ Penn will ride off into the sunset for the 47th time.

What we do know, at least for now, is that we’ve seen the last of Tim Kennedy.

The former UFC middleweight, who rose to prominence as a title contender under the Strikeforce banner, feuding with Luke Rockhold and Robbie Lawler, among others, announced his retirement on Monday night.

A lot of my coaches, friends and fans immediately tried to build me up again.
