Biography
The line that follows Tim Kennedy around is that he was fighting professionally while serving in the United States Army — one of very few people to do both at the same time. That combination is most of the reason his material travels: the audience isn't hearing from a fighter who talks about discipline in the abstract, or a soldier who never tested himself in a cage.
Born in September 1979 in San Luis Obispo, California, Kennedy turned professional in 2001 and competed until 2016. Over those fifteen years he moved through most of the significant American promotions of the era: the UFC and Strikeforce, the WEC, ShoMMA and HDNet Fights, and a stint with the Chicago Red Bears in the IFL. He is now retired from competition.
Since then his work has spread out. He hosts and produces television, and he runs businesses. Whatever the format, the record he speaks from is the same one he built while holding down two demanding careers at once.
