Your boy is about to get choked out.

One of Fort Bragg's finest will try to wear middleweight gold when the hard-hitting Tim Kennedy tests his might against decorated grappling wizard Ronaldo Souza at the upcoming Strikeforce: "Houston" event scheduled for the Toyota Center on Aug. 21 in Houston, Texas.

Kennedy (12-2) elevated his status at last month's "Los Angeles" event with a first round submission win (rear naked choke) over Trevor Prangley. It was the fourth straight "W" for the Green Beret, who is perfect under the Strikeforce banner at 3-0.

But he undoubtedly faces his stiffest test to date against Souza.

Star-divide

"Jacare" (12-2) made a successful transition to the San Jose-based fight promotion following a lengthy run overseas in DREAM. After submitting Matt Lindland at last year's "Evolution" event, the Brazilian scored a unanimous decision win over Joey Villasenor at "Heavy Artillery" back in May.

He's widely considered one of the sport's most dangerous grapplers.

Strikeforce: "Houston" will feature a main event between current light heavyweight champion Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal in his first title defense against Rafael "Feijao" Cavalcante. Lightweight stars KJ Noons and Jorge Gurgel are also scheduled to hook 'em up.
Like Tim but Jacare is the heat. That's a loss.

I usually wait until the after contest to say who won and lost. Sometimes things just don't go the way that people speculate, usually the reason for the contest in the first place........ YMMV........

They said the same thing about Feder's invincibility until a few weeks ago. If there is one constant in MMA it is that anyone can be beaten on any given night.

Especially if you have a name like Magnolia.

We'll see

If Tim wins, I wonder if Magnolia will have the intestinal fortitude to eat some crow in our house here.

If we're not outnumbered, outgunned, and facing overwhelming challenges, whats the point of this calling we have chosen?

Don't count Tim out yet flowerboy,

At my son's graduation, I met Tim's Dad who I believe is a Leo up north. Nice guy. I happen to take a picture of Tim during the ceremony.

Oh for sure.

I thought I made that post sufficiently tongue in cheek to let you all know I was only somewhat serious, it's the internet after all.

There aren't any betting lines out for that fight yet but he should be a pretty big underdog. Liked his showing in that last Strikeforce card and he took Jason Miller the distance so it could turn into a battle. He'd be smart to keep it on the feet though if possible.

....amidoinitrite?....

The Ranger Up site shows some of QP Kennedy's past matches and has fun commentary. The last of the 3 youtube links shows other fights of his when it ends if you scroll around. Link

My near worthless prediction sees his win coming from staying composed while on the bottom - reversing to half-guard - then ground and pounding with rights to the chin of Jacare for a TKO. What ever the out come he is a great ambassador for the sport and this Nation. Makes me tempted to order Showtime.
