He started that way due to a torn quad muscle he sustained in the last week of training camp.

Cool artwork by one of Tim's fans...

His humility after the fight, both towards his opponent and towards the military men in the audience, brought tears to my eyes. I'll admit it. So rarely seen with athletes anymore.

UFC fighter Tim Kennedy gives a seminar for soldiers participating in the Combatives Tournament at Fort Bragg

"Tim Kennedy is no stranger to Fort Bragg.

The professional mixed martial arts fighter served for several years as a Green Beret with the 7th Special Forces Group, then based at Fort Bragg.

So when he set foot in the 82nd Airborne Division's Combatives and Advanced Tactics School on Thursday, he was greeted by more than a few familiar faces....."

Great seeing him and listening to what he had to say. The mans humility is unranked IMO. I think he did more than what was contracted or expected from the trip.
