Top ranked UFC middleweight Tim Kennedy has always been an outspoken fighter. From how Yoel Romero’s stool-gate controversy was handled, to the UFC’s Reebok deal, and now even with ISIS, Kennedy never shy’s away from giving his honest thoughts.
Apparently Kennedy, a US Special Forces member, has received several threats from notorious terrorist group ISIS, however he doesn’t seem too phased by the situation.
