Tim Kennedy maybe a whiner but..

[dildos]

Does he even fight anymore or does he just make noise?

I hear him moaning like a bitch often.

 

[UPAZWITTS]

Tim Kennedy was my army combative level 1 instructor when I went through ranger assessment and selection program in Fort Benning Georgia. Pretty cool guy

Thanks for your service.

 

[papajohns]

I just don't understand how anyone could not like Tim Kennedy.

 

[Sparkie]

A lot of hate for Tim these days. You would think he was in a hit and run accident and left the scene of the accident.

He is a true alpha male. He gets threatened by ISIS and shrugs it off. He is a great fighter and a great father and family man.

He would surely be one of the first to protect his country from terrorists.

The sherdog alpha talk is such bullshit.

Alpha males in the context of wolf packs and other pack animals are key to the functioning of the pack. Everyone eats, sleeps, and mates at the mercy of the alpha male. Cross the alpha, and you either win, and become the new alpha, or you die or get exiled from he pack.

Alpha males in the context of civil society and a social contract are scourges on the population. They take what they want when they want it, with no concern for the health and well being of others. Strive to be an alpha male in a civil society and you either succeed and transform the society into a hellish dictatorship, or you fail and we kill you or lock you away.

Some human alphas:

Which group you figure Kennedy's destined to end up in?

Ok

He can shrug off ISIS threats but he can't shrug off Reebok uniform deal?

Whining is the exact opposite of alpha male behavior. Alphas see things they don't like and act upon to change it, betas see things they don't like and complain.

The thing is, he is in a position where the behaviour of the people he works with is shown via talking to the press or in general.

He isn't whining as much as he is just using the platform of his job, like everyone else he works with.

While he does tend to annoy me, he goes against the grain most of the time and that puts his entire life at risk, when he could just kiss ass and be fine. That's pretty alpha of him.

I went to school with a guy who shit his pants in 7th grade and was borderline retarded. He joined and was accepted by the army. I support the troops because many of them put their lives on the line and whatnot but you dont exactly have to be a Marvel superhero to join the armed forces.

Was his name Forest? I call bullshit on your story.

What book of rules is that from? Your ass?

Alpha males are physically superior to beta males . That is the true definition. Which are you and which is Tim?

 

[skysolo]

Actually alphas do what they have to do to take care of their family and themselves. Let me know when you are willing to step in the cage, or fight in the army.

Or when your boss' is making money off of your back and not sharing the profits. A lot of guys on here would do the same thing. And whining?? Aren't sherdog forums synonymous with whining?

No he's not. A true alpha thing to do would be to blow through all your competition, become champion with a ton of leverage, band together with other top level fighters, and collectively tell the UFC to go F themselves unless they make some significant changes about the Reebok deal. That would actually get everyone's attention and affect real change in the UFC - become the alpha fighter, create your own faction and force UFC's hands. Problem: it's also 10 times more badass, and 10 times harder than whining in interviews and on social media. Nobody said being an alpha is easy.

You think Genghis Khan was born with all the power in the world? No, he couldn't even protect his wife at one point, who was taken and raped. Still he became one of the greatest commanders of human history and built the biggest empire the world has ever seen. That is a true alpha. Why can't Kennedy do that, if he were some kind of ultimate alpha? You think taking on Reebok is harder than taking on the world?

Whatever he does for the military, that's separate. I'm not paying attention to any of that and frankly, today's military personnel have nothing on WWI/II soldiers. Whether you want to talk about heroic shit, violent shit, tough shit...it's not remotely comparable, so that's that. As far as his behavior as a fighter is concerned, I fail to see how you can classify him as some kind of ultimate alpha. In fact, the alpha here is Lorenzo Fertitta, he made the changes, let his minion Dana White and Reebok take all the heat, and betas like Tim Kennedy can only sit there and complain.

Oh is it? Well how much does Tim Kennedy bench? If you want to use that definition, Tim Kennedy is not even remotely close to being considered an alpha. He's not a champion, heck, Lorenzo Fertitta bench presses more than he does, and is his boss, and has former SEALs that would crush him if he ever tried to make a move against the boss man.

Louis does both in exchange for popcorn IMO.

"We're dicks! We're reckless, arrogant, stupid dicks. And the Film Actors Guild are pussies. And Kim Jong Il is an asshole. Pussies don't like dicks, because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes: assholes that just want to shit on everything. Pussies may think they can deal with assholes their way. But the only thing that can fuck an asshole is a dick, with some balls. The problem with dicks is: they fuck too much or fuck when it isn't appropriate - and it takes a pussy to show them that. But sometimes, pussies can be so full of shit that they become assholes themselves... because pussies are an inch and half away from ass holes. I don't know much about this crazy, crazy world, but I do know this: If you don't let us fuck this asshole, we're going to have our dicks and pussies all covered in shit!"

You got that right.

 

[SmilinDesperado]

Yeah you're right, Alphas DO what they have to do to take care of their family and themselves. They do. They don't whine. I'm never going to step in the cage or join the army because I'm not an alpha, I tell you what I am pretty good at though: WHINING. Here let me show you:

WAAAH WAAAHHHH THE REEBOK DEAL SUCKS I GET NO SPONSOR I DON'T EVEN WANT TO FIGHT ANYMORE WAAAAHHHH!!!

See how easy that was?



Oh really? How much money do you think Conor McGregor and Ronda Rousey are getting from Reebok, compared to Tim's pre-Reebok sponsorship?

So your solution is for him to be an even bigger dick than he already is?
Have you been watching UFC long? Who does and doesn't get pushed is largely dependent on the whims of Dana and/or the Fertitas. There's obviously a very limited amount of huge sponsorship deals being handed out. There's 500 UFC fighters on the roster..There are undefeated, exciting ones that don't get press and thus don't get deals.
"Be like Ronda/Conor" is not a realistic solution to remedy getting underpaid. I guess your next suggestion would be for him to start his own MMA company?

 

[the can]

Nope he's a diva, a hypocrite, and all around douche. Nice try though.

[JayElectra]

Kennedy is a decent fighter. I can't really find much to like or care much about him if he isn't fighting, but whatever. Hopefully he actually fights again at some point.
