UFC star Tim Kennedy wins fight despite torn quad…

UFC star tore his quad before his fight a couple of days ago while trying not to kill little old lady

Tim Kennedy is a bit of a hero. Well, when we say, “bit” we mean the man is an actual military hero; they LOVE him in The UFC and with knockouts like Wednesday night, they have plenty of reason to.

Anyway, it was always going to be a tough fight for Kennedy – there are very few easy ones in an organisation like The UFC – but he recently announced that he fought on Wednesday night… with a torn quad. Ouch!

According to BJPenn.com he said, “I tore my quad coming into this camp. The very last week of fight camp, just a stupid thing happened. A lady walked over the track and it was either run over a 65 year-old lady – probably kill her – or try to decelerate in about two meters. I chose to decelerate and just fell to the ground, grabbing my leg screaming not great words.”

He added that if they “If they had to roll me into the cage to fight Natal, I would’ve fought him.” And that he is “too dumb to care.”

Lucky for him the fight ended with a spectacular knockout… and lucky for the little old lady his reflexes are so good.

Still… torn quad… Jaysus. Hashtag hard bastard.
