Prime Tim Kennedy was a monster

[boss429]

This man has a very underrated resume and is one of the GOAT MMA grapplers

- Lost a highly compeitive decision to a prime Jacare that many thought he won
- Lost another highly competitive decision to a prime Luke Rockhold
- Beat prime Bisping, Lawler, Manhoef and TKOd Romero but was robbed

Kennedy is also one of the only human beings ever to say they outgrappled the great Roger Gracie.

Tim had some good striking and great power as well, showing this when he sent Natal to the shadow realm with one punch and bounced Yoel's head around like a speed bag.

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Tim Kennedy would've destroyed any version of Anderson Silva. Anderson isn't doing shit to Kennedy off his back, which is where he'd be for 99% of the fight.

I agree TK was a very solid and underrated fighter, I would have loved to see him vs Chael back in the day but I'm not so sure he beats prime Anderson. He was very hittable and Anderson only needs the smallest of openings to finish it and he was great at nullifying his opponents top game and also only needed a split second opening to finish it.

TK could win but it would require him being perfect for 25 minutes while prime Anderson would have only needed a second.

 

[CroKosor]

He was a great grappler and a bad striker.

Came here just to say this, nothing more to be said really.

Also, he's scary because he could bury you in the desert and loose no sleep that night. Funny dude tho'.

 

[Alphafail]

Yeah, I'd say murdering children is pretty monstrous alright.

 

[NoContest]

Oh cmon now. That quote gets taken wildly out of context. Any NATO country that participates in the war on terror has soldiers who have killed women and children. Terrorists are terrorists whether they're a kid or not. A bomb is a bomb.

Exactly. Tim and those NATO bastards go around the world terrorizing people. They're terrorists.

Oh sorry, they were actually looking for WMDs or other humanitarian missions in resource rich countries. We're the good guys because our leaders say so. I forgot.

Special Forces Can was a holier than thou,complaining glove grabber of the highest order.

 

[Credo]

True badass

 

[lorenzofertatta]

Lol fair enough. But you wouldn't believe how many people legitimately hold that against him. It's way stupid.

So is Tim

 

[Franklin U.]

Tim was underrated but let's not get crazy
.Romero fight was a shame and should 've been awarded a tko for stoolgate. Romero also back then struggled vs. a few people before pulling out win.Hes evolved a great deal since in fairness but still has stamina issues, 42 and has cheated. "prime bisping " is funny cause Michael was not champion material.Kennedy better than him -period. He doesn't beat "prime" Anderson ..... just my opinion.

I wish I could like this 50 times.

The only reason Romero was rocked was because Kennedy cheated and grabbed him glove to land the blow.

 

[RetiredSlave]

Hes best when hes protecting his family from ISIS.

Speaking of which,

General 1: hey boys what should we call these enemies?

General 2: how about ISIS?

General 3: no I say ISIL!

Warroom janitor: fuck all that, lets bomb the shit outta them and call them casualties.

 

[Mahkor]

Glove grabbing cheater.

 

[tasticles]

That's some serious bias you got. Can't take you seriously when you refer to a fighter as "Canderson".

That and I was in the Army. He was allowed to train as much as he wanted. He wasnt part time

 

[basedgodfedor]

Canderson got beat down for 4.5 rounds by Chael, who was shit compared to Kennedy.

If Roger Gracie didn't submit Kennedy, neither is McDonald's black belt Anderoid

Oh and Tim was also a part-time fighter and still accomplished all of these things

That’s actually a good argument

 

[NoSmilez]

Towards the end of his career. He seemed really slow

 

[TR1]

He is undoubtedly very good, but he lost that fight to Jacare without question IMO.

 

[ussf18e]

Yup, those women and children didn't stand a chance

You know in the Army we go out of our way to not kill innocents. Liberals ACTUALLY kill babies daily and the sickos call it health care and women’s rights. Twisted world we live in.

 

[Kertol]

Kennedy would have destroyed Anderson

 

[Protagoras]

To be fair, Kennedy is pretty underrated on here. Seems like a lot of people dislike him for things besides his abilities as a fighter and therefore he gets shit on.

But overall your points at valid, expect perhaps the one about Anderson. Would be interesting to see how that matchup would have plaid out.

Also the guy is basically physical embodiment of masculinity and machismo, and he could literally kill you.
