UFC middleweight contender and Army Ranger, Tim Kennedy stopped in with the Three Amigos Podcast to discuss a variety of topics including Reebok fines, PED test failures, ISIS threats, open carry laws and more.
UFC middleweight contender and Army Ranger, Tim Kennedy has always been one of the more outspoken fighters, advocating for better fighter pay, for a better sponsorship deal than the current Reebok contract in place with the UFC, and most predominantly, his thoughts on terrorist activity. Recently, the FBI began investigating some social media threats against Tim from what is believed to be a member of ISIS. The Three Amigos Podcast secured an interview with Tim, who happens to have a very sensible take on some of the most controversial topics pulled from current sports and mainstream news.
