Tim Kennedy Comes Out Of Retirement To Fight The Editor Of Deadspin
Task & Purpose ^ | 1-25-17 | Adam Linehan

Posted on 01/25/2017 8:44:54 PM PST by smokingfrog

It’s not official yet, but it looks like Kennedy and the editor of Deadspin may be headed to the octagon! Last week, U.S. Army Green Beret Tim Kennedy announced his decision to step away from competing professionally as a mixed martial artist for good. Now, a bizarre Twitter feud involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has raised the possibility of the 37-year-old middleweight heading back to the octagon for an encore fight.

Against whom? Tim Marchman, the editor of sports website Deadspin.

@timmarchman Unsurprising that not one Ted Cruz-supporting cuck/Twitter user is willing to face me in the UFC octagon. 9:32 PM - 24 Jan 2017

@TimKennedyMMA I'm your huckleberry. I also take note that you are a pathetic cyber bully. My email is tim@rangerup.com I'm available at your leisure. https://twitter.com/timmarchman/status/824097480883183616 … 3:34 PM - 25 Jan 2017

At the time of this writing, Marchman had not yet replied to Kennedy’s tweet. But he will. Of course he will.

This Marchman, the hipster editor of Deadspin, was kidding right? He didn’t actually want to fight for real, right?

Never heard of either guy. My money is on the fighter who bested Bisping, not the webmaster guy!

Not into MMA, so not familiar with these guys, but I hope Kennedy wipes the floor with the little punk Marchman. Dude sounds like he has roid rage, but looks like a scrawny pipsqueak. Ted Cruz sent a clever reponse with the Grayson Allen pic, I thought; there was no need for this Deadspin doofus to go nuts. I hope he regrets his gauntlet throw-down. If he doesn’t already, he will.

I heard Tim in a recent interview say - several times - that he was done with MMA.

Hunting Hitler.

I just read about this and came to FR to see if there was a thread.

Honestly, this guy has to be off his meds.

An open invitation to fight anyone? There is ALWAYS someone bigger than you.

This article is good, too. However, it says Tim Kennedy's specialty was Rangers, not Green Berets.
